Hi Iain. Cows? I wonder how they get them there but there were sheep come to think of it. They must come from behind as you're looking out to the water. The sheep were no bother but we'd have been stuffed if there were cows there. Lucky! That poor fella who got his tent mashed. I am getting a bit better with some heights but the bad step was not on the cards. I'm not that brave yet and Lisa was in agreement. I'm allowed I think to try a Scottish accent, you as I've mentioned before I'm the first sasanac in the family and was brought up with a mum with a Scottish accent but my auntie used to say I had a terrible Scottish accent god rest her soul, she said it how it was. I cheered for the tartan army in the euros this month and I bit my thumb nail all the way down in 1978 Argentina. Ally McCloud made us all believe that Scotland would win that world cup.

The road walking was a bit roady but the two lochs were interesting walking. Is Skye where John of howgate had to carry his dog? I have watched some of his videos, very good channel. He seems to have gone AWOL recently. We had to spend the next day going back to the car in flodigarry to swap the tent as it leaked in the torrential downpour on the night but I didn't film that day as it was a nothing day really and rained all day.

Hi Iain. Well the bad step? I don't want to ruin it for you but a clue would be I'm ridiculously scared of heights. It was a bit disappointing not to see the dinosaur prints but I doubt I would have found them. I've been foot prints hunting in two other places in Skye and had to re visit both sites and only found them when I knew what I was looking for and exactly where. It's a mystery to me how the experts can definitely say, yes that's a dinosaur print. I guess the Skye trail is doable by returning by bus each day and hitching worked for us at the end of stage two. Taxis are too expensive.

Thank you. We felt silly missing the entrance and it made the hike a bit rushed for the last jeep home. You certainly don't get palm trees like that in the UK. Thanks for mentioning the music, it was one of my attempts at making reggaeton.
@@tubbatravels It sounded great!
HI Lisa, Hi Niall, many congratulations on completing the trail. Loved every minute of that, what a cracking day you had weather wise to finish it off. Thanks for sharing your adventure with us all. All the best, Dave.
Thanks Dave. It is possible to go much faster but once again, we go at a slow pace while making a holiday of it . I'm replying to you while waiting for a pizza in Austria. Summer holidays have begun and an Austrian hike. Cheers man.
@@tubbatravels Me and mate would do it no faster, you have to take it all in! Brilliant stuff, enjoy your pizza, and more importantly enjoy your holiday, I’ll look forward to seeing the videos, Austria is beautiful! 😀🥾⛰🏕️🇦🇹
Nice one Tubba and Map Girl, well done on completing another trail and taking the time and effort to film and share the experience on KZread ATB 👍🍺🍺😎
Thank you snowy. Making the videos help me remember the place names and what we did. I also enjoy making music for them and editing, it keeps me out of the pub. Nice one man
Great series on one of the most atmospheric places on earth. On a side note.....Is "Map Girl" always so jolly?
Ha ha most of the time but you should see her when she's not had any tea. Thanks for watching and commenting. It really is a great place.
Map girl needs her tea to be jolly 😂🎉
The views are stunning. I love the commentary that accompany your adventures. It's a shame you could not always camp where you wanted! Boreraig looks particulary pretty ❤
Thank you. So many good places to camp. Thank you for commenting, nice one.
looks amazing, nice one
Hey Dan. Hope all's well over there.
Hello both. Brilliant. You were whistled at by the sheep, they must have thought you were Welsh😂 We can laugh at ourselves,it's okay😉 That's terrible someone fell and died on the cliff, so sad. You found some beautiful wild camping spots and shared them very well. Beautiful views and lake (Loch) Drinan, stunning. You pitched up at the end in stunning area, nice you had a little brandy, fire and lake and moon. The sky at night there. Wow! I've missed a few in between, I'll catch up soon on others👍 Here I sit broken hearted paid a penny and only farted😂😂👏👏 50p that's quite a bit now. Great video👌🫡 Tomorrow I'm wild camping by lake. The weather's not great. See how it goes tomorrow👋
Hey Jamie, thanks for your comments, they always make me smile. Yes my Scottish mum and dad make it ok to mimmick scottishness, he he he. Skye is stunning, very touristy in places but in-between when hiking we hardly saw anyone. Well have a good camp Jamie. All the best.
Beautiful video. I enjoyed watching it. Thanks for sharing. 👍7
Thank you kurshid much appreciated.
A beautiful video. Stunning views, commentary and music ❤
Thanks a lot. The walking was great and I had fun making the music. Cheers.
19:44 great adventure my friend
Thank you so much.
0:16 this morning coming out from the tent had to be awesome with such spectacular view. Wooow🙂🤩
It was so cool. I love Scotland. Thank you for commenting. All the best.
I like the background music, so relaxing ❤
Ah thanks. I made the music with some bag pipe samples and other things. Thanks for commenting.
@@tubbatravels oh, that's nice. ❤️
L2/ Good morning my friend. What a perfect day for adventure. This place is so cool, so refreshing. I need nature Therapy these days.. thanks for bringing us along in this place. so calm lake. I am imagining the fresh air!
Thank you Leilani. Do you ever hike or camp?
@@tubbatravels we hike a lot, I have some videos too. We went camping several times in Albarracín, Teruel and Bronchales.. this weekend we are out of town, hopefully I can hike, it depends on my health condition if not I will stay in the house we rented.
So if I go back in your channel I can find a hiking video? I hope your health is nothing too serious. All the best @leilaniseramivlog @@leilaniseramivlog
@@tubbatravels but not as extreme hiking as you do.
Hi guys, absolutely beautiful, what a day you had there, some stunning scenery. I loved the rhyme about the loo, I’ve not heard that since I was at junior school all those years ago! 🤣🤣 I wish I lived on Skye, the peace and tranquillity of some of those little villages looks idilic. All the best chaps Dave 😀🥾⛰🏕️🏴
Hi Dave. That rhyme was written on most lav doors when I was a kid. Some things stick in the memory , these days I can't remember what I had for breakfast. There are some great houses on Skye and some great abandoned ones as well.
Wonderful hike ⛰️ and that canon you can sleep and enjoy the view. Wonderful place 💚
Hi, thanks for commenting. Yes we love Scotland for the great camp spots.
What a great day you had for that hike! So much easier when it's dry! You were lucky where you camped that the cattle weren't there. When I passed by there in 2019 they had destroyed a guys tent with him in it! I aways thought Sligachan was pronounced Sli...gaaaa...chan rather than sli-gi-chin with the ch sounding as in loch, but the Irish gaelic seems to sound like you pronounced it..not too shabby for an Englishman..:-) Since you said you don't like heights I wondered how you would get on on the section to Elgol...it's a drop off for sure
Hi Iain. Cows? I wonder how they get them there but there were sheep come to think of it. They must come from behind as you're looking out to the water. The sheep were no bother but we'd have been stuffed if there were cows there. Lucky! That poor fella who got his tent mashed. I am getting a bit better with some heights but the bad step was not on the cards. I'm not that brave yet and Lisa was in agreement. I'm allowed I think to try a Scottish accent, you as I've mentioned before I'm the first sasanac in the family and was brought up with a mum with a Scottish accent but my auntie used to say I had a terrible Scottish accent god rest her soul, she said it how it was. I cheered for the tartan army in the euros this month and I bit my thumb nail all the way down in 1978 Argentina. Ally McCloud made us all believe that Scotland would win that world cup. Do you follow the fitbaw?
I can see why they say this is the most beautiful trail in Britain it certainly is spectacular! 😎
Hi snowy, for sure it's a great trail. The scenery is fantastic, it feels remote in parts and even though it's not signposted it's kind of hard to get lost.
An absolutely beautiful nature trail. Stunning views and absolute tranquility. Love how silent it is and how secluded the beach was! ❤🎉
It was wonderful and very relaxing. In October there were no midges to annoy so it was perfect. Thanks man.
Oh wow. Awesome👏👏 Your short just poped for me now. I will catch up on your lastest few vids today👍
Hi Jamie. I'm just happy you're there. Thanks for watching and commenting. You're one of the best people on KZread.
Hi Niall and Lisa, great start to this one, Lisa was either jumping about like a spring lamb or trying to join the ‘ Ministry of silly walks’ 😂😂. Amazing views yet again,doesn’t seem to be any bad views at all. What a colourful place Portree ISS too. Cheers Glyn.
Hi Glyn. Let's go for the silly walks but spring lamb is cute. Portree is a very nice place, very touristy but quite calm. The fish and chips shop is one of the best ever. Good to hear from you. When are you off to Switzerland. ?
Hi Niall and Lisa, we set of for Switzerland at the end of September until early October, can’t wait to be honest mate, somewhere I’ve always wanted to visit, thanks to Becky it’s a dream come true. How are you both doing, are you off on another hike soon. Cheers Glyn.
@@glyndarby1715 ah great stuff. Switzerland will be awesome the most beautiful country in the world. Saturday we go to Austria the second most beautiful country to do some gut to hut hiking and to see some friends.
Hi Niall, will it be for upload, I watched one of your uploads a while back that was excellent, you done some cycling, hiking swimming etc, it looked amazing. Cheers Glyn.
Yes Glyn. It's my hobby making videos, it keeps out of the pubs. Not sure how to make Austrian music tho, I don't much fancy um pa pa. @@glyndarby1715
Hi Niall and Lisa, stunning scenery at the start by the second Loch, looked like some tough hiking😮. The views over towards the car park were incredible, bacon buttie looked good 😂. Great little poem too 👍. The old man of Storr is impressive
Hey Glyn, yes the return of the dodgy poet. If we had carried on further on day one it would have been good to camp half way up that hill but the man, now retired, at the hostel was so welcoming we stayed there. Also there are no loos half way up a hill. I do love a bacon buttie but in Coventry it's called a bacon batch. I must be losing my coventryism. Always good to hear from you.
HI Guys, fantastic. If it's one day you want clear skies its the section through the Cuillens. Absolutely fantastic, loved watching this, makes me want to get back up to Skye. I think the Skye Trail might be the year after next's adventure. Take Care and all the best Dave
It's a good one Dave. No finger posts but it is easy to follow. 80 miles I think in total so it's quite relaxing. I just love Scotland for the camping especially out of midge season. So you've been to Skye before? We went once before to see the fairy pools and the fairy glen. Have a good weekend up in them there lakes.
@@tubbatravels Hi Niall. Yeah we went there a few years ago. Just had a couple of hikes in to the coires of the black cuillens, just stunning. Coire Lagan is the best place I’ve ever had a butty. 🤣 I’ve just got home from a wild camp on Grey Crag in the Far Eastern fells. A bit damp but a great time was had. 😃🏕️🥾⛰
Hi Niall and Lisa, sorry for the late comments, just watched part 5 and realised I hadn’t made any 😂. Loving this one , such a beautiful place even in the rain 👍, great views over the sea from the Lookout bothy. Hostel looked nice too. Cheers Glyn.
No worries Glyn. It's always nice to read your comments, thanks. I got a message from your Bec yesterday as well which was really nice. This is the lovely side of social media. Have a lovely weekend.
L1/ what a beautiful trail and amazing day for an adventure my friend. I will join you! Good morning from Spain 💐💐
Hola buen dia. Espero qué tengas un buen fin de semana. Hi what part of Spain are you in. ?
@@tubbatravels I am in Castellón de la Plana.
Oh I've never been there . @@leilaniseramivlog
Wonderful sharing here friends be safe always cheers 🤗🤗👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you so much. I checked out your channel and subbed. Great stuff.
Is that a wild camping for the first night ? Thanks for sharing
Hi, no the first night was camping in the grounds of the flodigarry hostel.
Excellent informative video Niall and Lisa! One day I hope to visit Iceland. The hot springs and volcano hike look like fun! ❤
Hi, thanks for commenting. Iceland is a truly unique place. Everywhere smells of sulphur, eggs, for example. The ground bubbles and smokes. It is also the most expensive place I've visited. Camping made it affordable and was a great way to see the nature.
@@tubbatravels Thank you for the advice. I've heard it is very expensive. My wife won't camp so we will save up and visit at some point. As you said, it seems like a very unique place!
Nice to see that section as I skipped it after watching John of Hounds of Howgate. He didnt think much of it and I dont think I missed much.. :-) Given the weather, the next section is going to be wetter i expect. Nice to see that though. At least I hope you took advantage of the hotel for warmth a drink and some good times!
I Iain. I don't think the hotel is very hiker friendly. They had a sign saying toilets are for guests only, no hiking boots. The road walking was a bit roady but the two lochs were interesting walking. Is Skye where John of howgate had to carry his dog? I have watched some of his videos, very good channel. He seems to have gone AWOL recently. We had to spend the next day going back to the car in flodigarry to swap the tent as it leaked in the torrential downpour on the night but I didn't film that day as it was a nothing day really and rained all day. Lucky there was a spare tent in the car Don't usually bring one but I had doubts about the tent. It's good that you can bounce around this small island even if the busses aren't that frequent. Thanks for commenting, have a good weekend.
another charming lil vid mate. I wonder how you find the time to go on all these travels?
Hi Dan. Always good to hear from you. Try to do something every school holiday. I sit around at home plenty so it's good to blast out during the school hols. I trust your little one is doing fine?
You should have visited the lovely beach at Braes. . its great. What awful weather you had you poor things !
Braes? I'll bear that in mind as I'd love to go back to Skye. We had a terribly windy day and then this rainy one but the weather turned back in our favour. Weirdly I kinda enjoyed the rain but not day after day. Thanks for commenting.
A tough wet day for you two character building! 👍🍺🍺😁
If it doesn't kill you, it makes you stronger. We have had a lot of good luck with The weather but it is good to know we can cope when it turns bad. The experiment with the poncho worked well as I was completely dry. I did think my boots had let water in but it was just in my mind. Thanks for your comment Snowy.
The weather didn't look great but the scenery was amazing. The waterfalls were gorgeous. I don't think I have ever walked as far as you both !❤
I do love a waterfall. Walking 15 miles a day is about right to feel like a good walk but not so far as to destroy us. This day was a short one as I remember but the terrain will affect things. Thank you for commenting.
Hi Lisa, Hi Niall, it looks like your luck ran out with the weather, but man it's still stunningly beautiful. Not sure about the Hunchback of Notre Dame look Niall, but hey, who said long distance hiking was an extension to London Fashion Week. The bell's Lisa, the bell's!!! 🤣🤣 All the best guys, have a cracking weekend. Dave
Ha ha ha, I'm the incredible hulk not hunchback, but yeah, not my best look. First time properly testing the poncho but in an 8 hour deluge it did keep me perfectly dry. Have a good weekend Dave.
The views looking amazing. It's so pretty with the little waterfall and colourful houses. Beautiful location.
Thank you. Portree is lovely and the colourful buildings are a well known photo opportunity. We really did love Skye.
No, I didn't go down to the beach but the signboards there to read were cool. I like you slept in the tent on that trip but I stayed at Flodigarry where you pitched and walked sections without a full pack getting the bus back and forth each day until Sligachan. Looking forward to finding out if you took the Big Step route!. I wanted to but my partner didn't , so I missed seeing that.
Hi Iain. Well the bad step? I don't want to ruin it for you but a clue would be I'm ridiculously scared of heights. It was a bit disappointing not to see the dinosaur prints but I doubt I would have found them. I've been foot prints hunting in two other places in Skye and had to re visit both sites and only found them when I knew what I was looking for and exactly where. It's a mystery to me how the experts can definitely say, yes that's a dinosaur print. I guess the Skye trail is doable by returning by bus each day and hitching worked for us at the end of stage two. Taxis are too expensive.
