Trekking Solo in the Highlands | CAPE WRATH Trail Vlog Ep 1
Here it is! Part 1 of the 230 mile journey through the western highlands of Scotland, this was a brilliant day 1 starting from Fort William to Cona Glen. Wild camped in Cona Glen for my first night, complete culture shock to the busy town of Fort William!

Thank you so much for watching! 😊 Kit found here: www.amazon.co.uk/shop/girloutdoors?ref_=cm_sw_r_apin_aipsfshop_aipsfgirloutdoors_28BNS4TT3X480TWVHVME
As a wheelchair user, it’s great to relive my youth vicariously, through you!
Thanks for the content!!
Thank you for the video
Great video Becky. You are an inspiration to us older folks that can't get out there and do the walks. You have a great attitude towards your hike, just go one day at a time and not worry about the total distance. Be careful about heating meals in those bags and using the water afterwards for coffee. Some bags when heated like that can put some toxins in the water. At least they did when I have used them in the past. That may have changed over the years. Stay safe and healthy. Looking forward to the next video.

Hi Jay, Whereabouts are you ? Have you don’t some of the trails. I’m down London direction, and my favourite over the years has been Richmond, and north Devon when got down there.
Beautiful and resourceful Becky!
Some beautiful country
When I started watching this, I had my doubts as to whether you'd complete it. But within a few minutes it was obvious that you had the skill, judgement, experience, enthusiasm and determination to be successful. It inspired me to train up and hike the CWT which I have just completed - but with a midge net :)

Gorgeous, my heart is with you - keep save! And enjoy - thx for that!
This was a KZread suggestion. Thanks for sharing. Will check out some more of your uploads 👍
I can't get enough of your videos of Scotland. I recently lived on the Black Isle and as photography is my pastime I was often out on day trips in my trusty 4x4 to drive off road. So great to see another Scottish hike.
14:19 is a slow worm or deaf adder which the name scared me as a kid. They’re harmless legless lizards and are a protected species in the UK. Always nice to see one, it’s been a good 3 or 4 years since I’ve been lucky enough to stumble upon one. Looking forward to watching this after seeing Hazey do it a few months back. It’s about time we had a north v south boy v girl collaboration between my 2 favourite outdoors you tubers.

If there are no zig-zags on it's back Becky, you're safe lol. Well done you. One of my regrets from yester year was that the world was a much bigger place and even Scotland was a huge distance away. Gladyoure fulfilling ambitions and dreams mate, refreshing for an old boy to see and special thanks on my part for taking me along virtually on your new adventure

Love your videos OG! Haha you're a real OG 😉 so you just mentioned Haze and his personality and it made me want to write this because it's the personalities of the people I watch that mainly keeps me coming back to their vids and your personality plus footage and the walks you're doing equals to a subscriber and a regular viewer in me 😊 not sure if you have a catchphrase yet but because you mentioned Haze I can't help but saying - MEDIIIIC! All the best on your future endeavours, keep up the great work 😊

you can enjoy very well going both faster and slower :) all depends on your experience, fittness, gear and attitude :) Hike your own hike, the way you want to do it - others do it in other ways, dont presume they dont enjoy it just as much as you ;)
Watched Haze a couple of months back and first time I’ve ever watched anyone hike on a channel before. Inspired myself to start doing the same. And now watched a couple of your vids and think I’ve found another inspiring person to imitate! I shall watch further on this courageous hike!
This is such an amazing adventure!! So excited for you 🙌⛰⛺️⛰
Well Becky This video was beautiful to watch ❤️❤️☺️
The scenery is magical.
As usual - Excellent work! Gorgeous scenery 😍. Really looking forward to rest of this series 👍
I love travelling
I'm planning to walk round the entire UK. One day. Circumstances don't allow it for me now. Great to see this young woman doing this. I am actually from the west Highlands...so it's nice to see somebody from another part of the country doing it. Will be kind of like me when I get to Cornwall (lol except an old skinny highland man. Love England.....Great people. Great real ale 🍺...have to bring my "levelars" music.). In the mean time doing lots of walking in the local area. Happy thoughts to everyone ✨.
Well done video. Super insightful. Looking forward to following your journey!
So excited for you can’t wait to see the next video. ✌️👊
That was great! Thanks for sharing your adventures with us !!!!!!
This is on my bucket list! Looking forward to watching your adventure!
Great to see you doing something like this, Scotland is so beautiful, trying to think what I was doing around about that time? would have been great to bump into you,what a cutie 😘🏴👍🏴
Thank you for sharing your hikes. You are fabulous Beckey. Not just you inspire and insight me, but you actually teach me british english. English is not my first language, and you happen to speak slowly and clearly. Love it when you say 'lush' and 'mental'. Above all, i appreciate the lovely person reflecting back at me. Every time you smile, your eyes sparkle, brightening up my day.

kudos Becky, from an aussie hiker ... did loads before the invention of internet. Impressive sponsorship .... think I'd still be travelling if I'd had that kind of support. Women hiking alone are quite safe, I did more than 30 countries in my first 18 months. Those with fear best stay at home ... but your mind set and attitude are perfect for these kind of adventures, thanks
Fabulous looking forward to seeing this ☺️.
This trail is on my list to do and it looks so amazing. I would plan three weeks too. I’m looking forward to seeing how you get on. 🥰
Loving the video's i've been up here over 40 years it never gets old it as changed with the weather a lot less snow more ice cold and dry but that's the north east coast amazing work.
Brilliant Becky. Loved it keep up the great work 👍
Brilliant, love what you are doing. All the very best.
Well done on passing your driving test. Great Video, looking forward to following your adventure. It looks tough!
Congratulations becky on passing your driving test, enjoy every inch of the beautiful Isles of this amazing country its all within your reach .
Great vid - I’ve been watching a lot of cape wrath vids and really found this one useful
Absolutely gorgeous place for a good long hike. Cheers lass love ya.
Beautiful scenery and stay safe.
Becky you seem to be a sweet girl and a hoot to hang out with. I have enjoyed watching your videos and your Dads. You have gotten quite good over the years. All the best. And keep looking for the adventures. I have found my independent adventures and travels add so much to my memory in my future alone and quiet times. God bless.
I've been waiting for you to start this hike, I always enjoy watching because you video the scenery so well!!! Pretty lady can't wait to watch you the whole trip. ❤🌹 from Texas.
