Thanks- one thing I found useful when camping You can buy 50 or so empty ‘boil in the bag’ bags for only 2-3 quid from kitchen shops like Lakeland or online . I put individual portions of porridge, raisins etc in each one and add a couple of scoops of Marvel. Just pour in the hot water straight from the stove. They weigh nothing This way you know at a glance how many breakfasts for each day of the trip you have left. More importantly you can have milky porridge without accidentally spilling a large bag of everywhere, or having to scrap/clean any pot.

Good tip, thanks.

Nice to watch about Cap Wrath. I went to UK in 2018, first in Corwall and then, step by to step to Scotland, hiking, biking, running and canoeing. Cap Wrath is a kind of mythic place and I wanted to do it by kayaking despite people saying to me that it was dangerous. So I got a very good 3 days weather opportunity to do it from South to North, camping on beach. But unfortunately I lost the key of my car-roof where I put my paddles!! I found it at the end of the first day and said bye-bye to my 3 days kayaking trip. But I started the trip from the North and did half of the way in round trip. I can say that the water is very very cold there, the currents stron,and the landscape very wild. Nobody on the way. Next day the weather changed and I could have seen what Wrath means... from the shore. In your video I have learnt how I can call the big holes we can find on the wet terrain, somehow dangerous: bogs which you have tested with your poles )) I watch with pleasure that you don't skimp your gear and have a pretty heavy backpack, better for your comfort and your security. So do I, regardless the lightweiht fashion. Best regard, Dundjack (France)

Yes I’ve been snarled by the Bog Monster on a few occasions, the slimy beast within puts up a good battle to swallow first your legs, then your body and finally your head. I’ve had to beat the monster into submission with my pacer poles too.

Same but I was lucky I dropped straight down but my pack save me from going further, swamp area on ex, weight of pack was 45 plus kgs, got towed out and called every called every name under the sun. Was still shaking hrs later, it does sap your strength. Good on you 4 handling. All the best. Had 2 share. Ps this is in newzealand. God bless.

From brutal rain to beautiful sunsets...it's been great watching. 😊

Thank you Becky to continue to feed our addictive viewing. You’re encouraging and responsible for creating a healthier society x

The tick thing still has me paranoid....only ever had one, but I was horrified when I found it 😂 Think it was seeing what has happened to Vanessa at Wild Woman Bushcraft that has done it. Some great tips in this video on what to carry mate....some really useful information for anyone thinking of this walk. Best wishes always

It’s been great to watch your adventure, I’ve especially enjoyed seeing the younger folks taking up such challenges. I did the CWT in 93 before it was widely known. Now my adventures are of a more vicarious nature, thank you for allowing me that pleasure. And we’ll done you !!!!!!!!!!!!

You look fabulous in that red jacket with the red nails and the fjällräven pants. Great choice

Doggy poo bags as shoe liners is an unbelievable tip. I have used bread bags but never thought of a roll of dog bags and I hike with them already with my dog and had them all along. Couldn't see the forest for the trees as they say. Thanks.

Congrats again for completing the trail which you inspired me to look into my first long distance hike.

Been great watching you live your life with zest ✨ Always pick up great tips from you too. Thanks for the uploads 👊🏼

Wow! Thank you for your really good work! Nice video! I look forward to hike the CWT in february. This year I hiked the WHW and a few stages further in january. Best regards from germany Marco :)

It’s a big learning curve to strip out the unnecessary weight and items but that comes with experience and research. Kit has greatly lightened over the last several decades, love the Altras too! Hope to see you do a similar distance path next year, keep up the great work Becky! ❤️

Hi Becky,Amasing lady! Thank you so much for the walking,talking ,filming.Greatest Respect!

Well done on completing your trek, I really enjoyed the series, it brought back quite a few memories as you passed through a lot of very familiar territory that I am very unlikely to visit ever again for various reasons. Gear lists are interesting things. The usual weight of my gear back in the 80's 90's for spring through autumn was around 12 kilos all in, including food for around 3 days or so. No camera, phone, walking poles or electronics. Honed everything to a bare minimum over time. Saunders jetpacker tent, Condor rucksack (65 litres is all you need) down bag w 600 grms fill, opinel, spoon, map, compass, whistle, sigg bottle, edilrid scorpion, stove, pot, karrimat and a family size pack of chocolate homewheat biscuits, and you could go anywhere in the hills. I still have most of the gear, but not the biscuits, they're long gone. I actually went and looked my gear out after the second episode, touched it a bit, then stuck back in the box where it resides. The last time I used that old tent in some heavy Scottish weather it leaked like a sieve with the horizontal rain.

Great, this has answered a few questions I had after watching the series of vids for this, I really enjoyed following your progress, and seeing the wonder of the Scottish Highlands, and what a great achievement, well done!

Great job on this overview of your hike! A nice, measured,methodical, and informational presentation, and well done on the entire series of videos.

Love it. You’re an inspiration.

You’ve inspired me to do this next year. Thank you.

Lovely video. Always enjoyable.😍😍

I'm off next week to do the trial, been in the Cape before with the military - this time I will enjoy it! Your videos are awesome - thanks.

Well done on your achievement, thanks for taking the time to share your trip with the world and for your information and knowledge of the trail, take care and cheers to many more adventures 🍺🥂👍🏽

Well done Becky loved the whole series 👏 Please keep it up. Thank you have a wonderful Christmas 🎄 😊

I loved this series. Brilliant debrief , Really thoughtful. I am really looking forward to your next series 😊. Keep up the great work.

What a wonderful journey, I enjoyed following you the whole trip. Thanks for explaining how you got home, that was another feat of courage and willpower. I don't think I will ever be in position to make that trip or hike, but I can say I have in some ways been there, thanks to you. Stay well Becky. Happy Holidays.

Looking forward to your next adventure!

Really great achievement Becky, Another very informative and well made film to complement the Cape Wrath trail series.

Fantastic vlog Becky,you're so inspiring,congratulations on doing this trail as it couldn't have been easy.I look forward to your next hike,I wish it was tomorrow,good luck and take care,big hugs!

What a great video Becky, people on the trail that you come across are awesome!

I loved following your journeys.

This was a fantastic and inspiring series.

I’m an old boy… ish.. I used to stay out for days in Scotland since I was a boy around 11 years old around 1971 ish and B4 I even knew what a tent or a sleep bag was. (I did know the midges could always be there though 😂). Anyway done lots since then 😊 Watched all your videos and thank you for bringing a great smile to me and clearly lots of others. Your parents clearly done a great job, but of course .. You are the bomb 💣 in all of this. Cracking videos and many happy returns. 👍

Hello, what an incredible journey, ive done the south pole over land twice and felt inspired by your videos well done keep going cheers

Great idea to post what worked well & any regrets regarding kit etc so that people can benefit from your experience. As I commented before I am full of admiration for you, a young girl carrying that weighty pack over all that distance, ascents & rough terrain & dealing with the mental challenges which that brings which can sometimes outweigh the physical demands. Loved the series Becks & will always follow your new adventures xx

Love every minute of the series Becky ❤👍👍👍🇵🇭

You truly are a inspiration to young people and old alike Becky. Your channel is amazing. The journey you have been on from being 15 is incredible. May you have a wonderful career in what ever you choose to do, hopefully in the outdoor industry so you can share your experiences. Take care and have a wonderful Christmas

Something I got taught by an ex RMC was to empty the bottle of talcum powder into a dry bag that’s big enough for you to put your foot in. Then when you need to talc your feet you just stick them in the bag and it just makes it easier to get between your toes and everything without it going everywhere. x

Es macht Spaß, dir zuzusehen bei all deinen Touren. Danke für die "Nachlese" und die Einblicke! Mir gefällt, wie authentisch und unprätentiös du bist. Freue mich auf weitere schöne Videos von dir

Lovely inspirational girl. thank you for sharing.

Thanks for going through this, it's on my to do list for 2022. I walked the 800km Camino de Santiago this year, you should do that! Sadly, you can't camp but you do stay in Albergues and hostals with other 'peregrinos' and is a magical experience. You'd LOVE it! Thanks again, hope to see more videos soon 😁

Hi becky nice to see you again really good info on packing your rucksack I've been really struggling to get everything in my 65l.have a beautiful christmas and new year cant wait for your next expedition xx

Wonderful rap up Becky. I don't feel like you can talk to much, I love your voice. On the Kendall's mint cake, not sure how long they have been around, but I'm sure I was eating them in the mid sixties while hiking. On foot ware, you must have what will work for YOU, regardless what anyone else will tell you---without your feet you are going nowhere. Hoping you have a wonderful fall/winter season with lots of camping to share with us. I have loved all of your videos so far Becky, keep them coming.

That was absolutely awesome and you didn't carry on too much. Bamboo fiber is remarkable. Ty for sharing your journey with us!

its a tough and epic adventure - well done

Loved following your journey. I aspire to be able to do a national trail.........health says otherwise! Thank you Phill

Cape wrath trail cant believe the miles you put in . beautiful place Scotland is for scenery and terrain .the memory's you will have and friends you have meet on the trail you never will for get Since your back home now hope you been resting up as not before long you be away again loved the video very interesting. Just great

Huge congrats for completing such a challenge and being inspiring and helpful for others contemplating doing the Cape Wrath Trail.. 👍😁👍 Would love to know what you have planned for 2022.. Takecare and have a brilliant Xmas and New year 😁

Great video. So glad to see you made it back safe and sound. That was an incredible trip and loved all the views and photos. You are an incredibly determined person and I knew you would make it. Enjoyed seeing what gear you took and being honest about what you thought about it. Don't worry about talking to long, I for one love to hear you talk. Looking forward to your next video. Stay safe and healthy.

Hi Becky, I didn’t expect this review on CWT. What a great idea you had and really interesting to watch. It is a lot of work creating videos the way you do and especially in difficult terrain. Keep up the good work. p.s. Your face every evening when you had dinner ….. priceless !! Thank you so much for giving us the chance to follow you. You really are, where you need to be ✨

Nice one, just realised you uploaded this too. Great work and good tips. Many thanks, take care and look forward to future adventures in great locations.

Uplifting smile and inspired me to plan my own adventure for 22- thanks.

Really enjoyed it, I would love to do stuff like this, my knee wouldnt take it, so i love to watch your videos and live through you!

A great follow up video Becky and definately some valuable tips thanks 😀

Thanks for the epic journey Becky, great tips also 👍...

Watched all the episodes from beginning to end, really enjoyed watching and how funny you are at times ie : the Swedish guy from Switzerland? Lol and the dodgy cows from around where you live: the black and white ones?lol and also the way you would say this is the right way? I think it's the right way lol you should be so proud of what you achieved!! All the very best in your next adventure 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Good stuff young lady really enjoyed this

I caught Lymes in Scotland. I've been in the Highlands since 1984 and had loads of ticks but never Lymes. This time it was really itchy and I had the tell tale bullseye rash. Within 2 weeks I was feeling shit. Constant headaches, dizzy spells, faint. Went to doctor and went straight on antibiotics. After that I was fine. That's my experience. Now I use Permethrin on my clothing and repellent on my body. Don't let it stop you enjoying the wilderness, just take precautions.

What an adventure. I cant believe how positive you were throughout the walk. So impressive . Looking forward to your next walk

Kiora bexs , thank u 4 sharing your journey with us all. U r a courageous person with a bright outlook on life, I wish you and your family a happy up coming Xmas.

The sawyer squeeze (not mini) has a better flow rate, and use 2 cnoc bags and hang one on your bag as you walk. There's a connector you can buy that joins the two together so the exit end of the filter has the blue bag attached and the end that attaches to your bottle has the "dirty" water bag attached. I use an orange coloured to hold dirty and blue for the filter. So I attach the orange to my bag and dander as it filters into the blue bag.

Totally inspirational ! Loved watching your journey through the Highlands, well done. There's only lands end to John o'groats left to conquer.

I love your enthusiasm after doing this trail! I would love to get over to the UK or Europe. This may be at or near the top of my list for potential UK backpacking trips. I've only seen one of those huge gas cans before. On my hike of the Appalachian trail I was just south of Harpers Ferry and met a south bound hiker that was just starting out from there. He had one of those. I didn't even know they made them that big at the time. I was kind of shocked. I only used my stove for dinners and I went through exactly 3 of the 220g/8oz canisters in 5.5 months.

You did such a great job presenting your trip and I still mis coming home to a new installment of your adventure. I bet you really missed being on-trail as well and probably went through some depression going home since it becomes a life style, (at least I do at the end of my trips so, sorry for being presumptuous if that's not so). You are so skilled at documenting your journey and enable your viewers to really feel like they are tagging along. You are unpretentious and maintain your poise, staying on-task to get the job done despite the adversities you encountered. This de-briefing is really important and interesting as well. SUPER JOB, GIRL OUTDOORS, and Thank You for bringing so many of us the beauty and joy of your journey!!!

very nice summary and reflection upon what seems to have been an excellent trip for you. happy feet can go a long way to making any walking trip a pleasure. :) well done.

Watched every episode and it was amazing 🤩 or as you would say lush 😝😁💯👌🏽 Would love to see you do some biking packing trips 💃🕺🏽👍🏽 all the best with your next adventure Ciao ✌🏽

@@GirlOutdoors It was a brilliant achievement and great video series! Very inspirational at a time which needs it.

Your Cape Wrath Trail video adventure was extra outstanding and wonderfully done. Scotland is a beautiful place. It is better to have it and not need it than not have and need it. Good planning is key to a successful trip and you planned very well then next time you will know just what you will need. Noticed you have 117K subscribers now. Even this video is well put together and noticed your set up close to the relief station. Crack on and have a wonderful day.

just watched ur vid full of good information and ideas for anyone thinking of doing the trail.watched allure vids as well Brill thanks Nick's for shareing 🤘all the best

I watched Haze Outdoors (KZreadr) walking the Cape Wrath trail and he came across several dead deer in several rivers - probably best to always filter your drinking water! But good you didn't get sick!
