Hiking the Isle of Skye in Scotland
Hey guys, I backpacked the Isle of Skye in Scotland between July 4th-8th, 23'. 72 miles total with two days being long mileage(21 and 25). I filmed this silent solo hike and made a guide for those looking to hike in the Scottish Highlands on the Skye Trail.

Hey Chris. I appreciate you. Not just for watching, but for leaving your comment that will certainly help me along my youtube journey. I hope to one day have many more subscribers. The next thirty days is pretty hiking intensive, so I should have several videos later this this year. Take care.
Awesome video, Cary!
