14 Days in the Wild - Solo Backpacking in the Scottish Highlands - Cape Wrath Trail Part 8
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 17 ก.ค. 2021
- The cape wrath trail is considered to be one of the most challenging long distant hikes in the UK. It's a 230 mile hike through the highlands of Scotland starting at Fort William and ending at the Cape Wrath lighthouse which is the most North Westerly point of the UK. The terrain can be very difficult and navigation skills are a must as parts of the hike have no visible paths. The final part will be out soon, if you'd like to be notified when it is then make sure you subscribe and hit the bell notification below.
Thanks for watching

@9:15 I was that biker and it cheered me up too
Amazing!
Brilliant! Small world! Made me smile too 😊 happy days
Haha that’s amazing!!!
And I was that lovely fish.
Legend!! 👏👏
The bit where you didn't Wana wave...then waved...and it cheered you up was the epitome of the beauty of humanity
This whole series is the perfect blend of human frailty mixed with the Divinity of existence… Such a joy to watch. 🙌
Wow now that is poetry William. I will concur with your comments 100%
@@JH-ht2me Thank you 🙏
Fucking hell William. Thats it. Nice mate. Beautiful
@@edforbes1563 Thanks Ed!
100%, well put. I think Hazy's comment about social media / YT not really being able to show the 'whole story' about outdoorsy pursuits, hiking and adventuring is really poignant. Theres a tendency with social media to get a false perception about these things because naturally people want to just show off the good parts...whether it's a holiday, a hike, a camp or whatever, nobody is showing off the stuff behind the scenes...the dirt, the sweat, the drugery the pain etc. But that is all equally an important part of the experience! The joyful bits wouldnt be as joyful without the offset from those less enjoyable less kind moments. We truly savour the beauty and the joy because it's not a constant state, and that's the point! But oftentimes on social media, we get a false presentation wherein everything is picture perfect, yet the reality is, it's not. I always think it's something to bear in mind with social media. It's not always a true reflection of what the person experienced. It's a carefully curated version of it. Not necessarily meaning Haze's vids because he generally keeps it quite real and raw...but so much outdoors content purely shows the views, the smiles and the beers, and leaves out the rain, mud, bugs, sweat and hurting joints.
After falling, the third time flat on my back, dropping into upper Hellhole Canyon from over the ridge north of Pena Spring, bleeding from both hands and arms scraped by granite boulders hugged fast upon falling the first and second time, I sat on that steep incline and took
stock…. I was 63. The promised waterfall, situated in a tributary entering from the north, was a long hard mile hike away, and the canyon floor had no trail. The 100 yards that separated me from that rocky bottom looked no easier than my previous exertions
which have led me here, 63, shaking on a rock on the side of a cliff, the waterfall sounding just far enough away, and the reality of facing a climb on all fours just to regain the ridge. I had to abort my mission due to exhaustion halfway down another damn upper Hellhole Canyon. February 19, 2016
You made me remember! Hard trip but good memory
I'm going to have to dig out the special, VIP "doffing" cap for when you crack open that can of beer - you deserve it!! This is a brilliant set of videos and momentous effort, mate. Beats anything on TV by a country mile. Thank you.
“beats anything on TV bar country file”
@@HazeOutdoors 😂😂
Agree with you. Mesmerising. I fall asleep watching Country File...but not this. Absolutely loved watching your journey and can’t wait for you to crack open the Faith 💗
John cravon oh yes. country file Hazey by a long mile.chin up chest out .March to glory kid.
This has been bril. Thx a lot. I can relate cos back in 1980, I spent 6-weeks on Eigg to do my geological mapping project for my degree... I camped in an isolated spot and trawled all over the island every day - no one knew where I was and when I think back..... all weather, all terrain. I talked to sheep, myself, God, the flies..... I managed though and won the prize for best project.
Good man , I don't understand how anyone can ever get lonely if you've always got yourself ,
@@fourQQ It ranks as one of the best times of my life.... determined at over 60 to go back and now inspired to do some wild camping too
"Mappy Gilmore", caused uncontrolled laughter whilst holding a mouthfull of vodka and coke......Straight out of my nose and onto my wife's lunch. Followed by a whipping slap from the wife, Straight round me noggin. Followed by shocking language that I've never heard her use before. I placed knocked off headphones back onto my head kept me mouth shut and continued to watch this flippin awesome video......Even domestic violence can't stop me watching. 👍
I can't even explain the pure joy I get from watching your adventures. This has been such a delight to watch these 14 days of hiking, camping & everything in between. The beauty of the land, the commentary & the positive attitude you have makes me so very happy. Thank you, Haze, for who you are. You are an inspiration to all of us to get out & see our beautiful world.
On a side note, take care of your feet. I've watched you limping & can't imagine the pain you are in with your feet. I'm sure you know all this but please take extra special care of your feet. You only have 2 & even one of them going down will ruin everything. Please take care Haze, we need you to spread joy to all of us, like you do.
I loved every minute of it!
I thought about you on Fri. I went for a day hike alone near Loch Lomond and I fell. Face first basically. I lost two teeth and I now have 4 stitches in my bottom lip. I am such the Beauty! Still, I managed to bag the teeth and find a safe place before finding the help I needed to go back down and to AE.
Watching your videos now, resting, and fighting the fear of falling.
Sending you much much love and good vibes mx
Medic!!!! I wish you a speedy recovery mate 🤙
I don’t think you have complained or been negative at all. You’ve had a great attitude through the whole hike. You’ve kept it real and honest about the trials, struggles, and pains. That’s so important for people to see and understand. Great job you!
Great example of staying positive when average people would have given up! You've been an inspiration to me since your "show your steak" episode. Love your channel Haze! Big howdy from Texas
I only found this most engaging into a few weeks ago.
It’s just amazing. The man is a typical Yorkshire chap. The best thing I have ever seen on you tube. I subscribed a week ago. I can’t wait to see the final part. Thank you Mr Haze. You have lifted my spirits whilst working nights for the NHS 👍
That rain sounds lovely during this current heat wave. ☀️
We as Haze supporters have to share this incredible content. There is no reason he dose not have his first TH-cam plaque. We as supporters have to step it up. This man is amazing. Share, share, share………I got your 6 brother
Ah the auld reggae band triangle dad joke 😂. Absolute soul lifter 👏🏻👏🏻
You're just practising for the next trip.... Lands End to John o' Groats 😁
Can't wait for the last one. The whole series has been one of the best ever things on TH-cam. I've thoroughly enjoyed every minute.
Thanks for sharing this with us and taking the time and extra weight to bring us the highlights and lowlights of your journey.
Pure, dead brilliant 💪
Class mate, actually buzzing there's still another episode to go!
Been epic these instalments and look forward to the final one. Thank god you didn’t interfere with the dead animals any other way 😱 but verbally Medicccc … 🌿
There really isn’t anything better than that last nights view and sunset. Absolute best series out there.
So glad you kept going. Keeping the Faith, despite soul destroying weather and the ubiquitous bogs, midges, and tick infestation. I love that you've kept it real and haven't tried to sugar coat how tough the trail is...and how tough it must be to stay motivated. Well done you! xx
Mate, it's impossible to dampen your spirits. You are one positive character!
I'm enjoying these so much, thanks for all the hard work.x
Perfect Sunday Entertainment 👌What a great series 👌👍🍻
What a way to spend the final night of a tough trail mate 👌
Cannot wait to attempt this trail when I retire in a few years. Must have watched this playlist about 20 times and been following the route on Google maps.
A really good thing for the feet is comfrey oil. Put on at night, overnight. Takes a lot of the 'anger' and redness out, helps build callus and heals 2x as fast.
I was hoping you’d shout “MEDIC” when you fell over
Great videos mate, hope you enjoyed that liquid gold at the end
Fantastic achievement Mr Hazemeister. Great series ... Thank you for all your effort n energy to film this batteries n cameras etc... It is definitely an extra burden and I'm sure all your viewers greatly appreciate it. Inspired by you after mostly doing bushcraft with heavy kit... I've put together a lightweight kit in 33L osprey and going out tomorrow into the Moors .. no where near the miles you do due to military injury ... But every mile is better than non. I really respect you fighting thru your ankle n knee issues .. I can see and feel your suffering at times... Good work mucker .. keep em coming ... Namaste🙏
Just an idea for your next expedition series mate, maybe a northern monk sponsored version of lands end to John o groats, camping and B&Bs when required. Think that would be awesome if you could get the time off work and raise money for a charity or something for completing it. Just an idea
Better John o Groats to Lands End instead. Its all downhill. Lol
😆 that would be better
great idea, but what about pub to pub the whole way? i would put in a few bevs for ol hazy no worries.
Great idea! I would deffo watch that
Definitely Jon O groats to lands end.. Jons a craphole without much there.. I was underwhelmed when I got there after going all that way from lands end
I sat the other night after purchasing a can of Northern Monk Faith from the local Tescos and I thoroughly enjoyed just going along the journey while drinking what I have say was a very nice alcoholic beverage. Hopefully I can work up to this type of walk a few years down the road once I get some experience under my belt. Brilliant video and looking forward to the finally (final thing, who knows how to spell that). Have a good one.
I've camped up there near the abandoned cottage, it was the last time I went camping with my late brother. Its beautiful up there.
just an incredible show of resistance, of perseverance, of mind over matter, of putting the pain to one side... in resisting that beer. all the rest is a piece of pish
Another great episode. I hope people can appreciate the mental aspect of continuing a hike like this in less-than-stellar conditions.
Hat's off to you pal, doing that for 14 days must be brutal and especially solo. Definitely deserve that beer when you finish brother!!
I fully understand how you feel.
I did ten tours (Dartmoor) disabled route 2 .
I had to have a week of after because I could not stand.
Now I’m 49 and wheelchair bound I often remember the pain I was in but now …
I can’t remember what it’s like to walk …
More power to you …
Power to you brother!
A tired horse stumbles!!! You hang in there my friend!!!
It's 6.15am, and I just finished watching part 8, loved it , gnite
Im in Thailand lockdown here .you saved my bacon from the boredom loved all your video well don to you from thailand
Spectacular sand wood bay. Save beer for lighthouse 🍺
Awesome, better than Tv, sacked it off this week to watch your hike and we have sky!
You do a lot for people's mental health problems all for the good positivity all the way mate think positivity you could have fell into one of them bogs and seen the good side of it 😀😊 .All the best mate and take care on the rest of your journey I'm sure you will god bless you 👍🙏
Seeing that you've uploaded a video is honestly the highlight of my day.. thanks for bringing us along Hazey
Hi. This has been a great set of videos. Being Yorkshire my self you do make me chuckle. A wonderful watch enjoy the final hurdle.
One word...inspirational!!!
Loved it all cant wait to see the end,John,Sheppey......................
There’s a bright golden Haze in the Highlands. An excellent series, always a pleasure to watch your videos.Hats off to you !
Have loved the videos of this hike, but CAN'T wait for the finale vid!!!!! 👀🤳🙏⏱💖
Love how positive you are even when it gets tough... Well done 🏴🙏
You should have had a telescopic spinning rod with you and all those Lochs you have passed have brown trout in them and you would have had more grub but watching this you have really done well as some of the terrain is horrendous as I have fished a lot of the Lochs you’ve passed so big thumbs.👍💪💪👏👏👏👏
Looking forward to the final episode. :)
Absolutely love your channel Paul! Just watched a 2015 one! As an x power ranger myself, WHAT was all that Shrapnel doing in ya face??? Your face was a metal detectors dream mate! Keep up the good work Hazey lad! Allt best! Bootneck H x
Eagerly awaiting the last installment! This series has been amazing. Thank you for doing these videos, this adventure, and for being a bright light in dark times.
Camped on the beach at Sandwood bay a few years ago now lovely, just me and the missus no one else only problem was it never got dark couldn't sleep.
"negativity breeds negativity" 100%! Well done keeping your head up.
yay Mr Haze on his own journey of enlightenment " good karma" keeps hope alive.....a long hard slog for tinny of Monk Brothers (and sisters) lol
Apparently Sandwood Bay has the notoriety of being the location of the last official sighting of a mermaid in the UK. Strange but true mate.
Epic Mr Haze. Enjoyed every instalment so far. Looking forward to the finale.🍺
Binge watched the playlist over the last 24 hours, just to take my mind away from the current events driving me insane.
Thank you so much for your efforts made me laugh and made cry with laughter. Watching your highs and lows!
Take my hat off to you keeping the faith, well done young man 👌👍💪
I knew I'd start getting stuff in my eyes when you were getting close to the end.
Just brought a Can Of Northern Beer when you open your Beer I will open my I’ll probably watch it at 8 o’clock in the morning👍🇬🇧🏴
you did well, i also had a drink on the beach to after a perfect hike and camped, just one more day !
Belter mate. Looking forward to the finale!
An epic series of a joy, pain and determination! Love the content Haze! Reminds me the mental battle I had on the bicycle trip from London to Paris. You Sir are a Legend. Keep up the good work. Thank you. 🎖
Ohh man I thought for sure you where going to op that faith and drink it down to the tune of the sun set. Good for you for holding back, can't wait for the finally Paul. 😎😎😎
You are glorious like the view my brother, you serve as inspiration to so many sharing your journey. Thank you, and much love to you from the mountains of Flagstaff Arizona, USA.

I love that you are such a vulnerable rock. You are one of the best humans I almost know. Take care Hazey.
Gorgeous
This is so inspiring, we see the highs and the lows ( which some people hide ) you're super inspirational and your vids make a lot of people's day, keep doing what you're doing!! And congrats 🙂

I have enjoyed watching your channel for a while now but this series is pure gold . Thanks for taking us along on your adventure. Great entertainment for us and mammoth achievement for you.
Cracking series this. Great work mate!
Awesome 👏 just driven
Up there on the NC500 so appreciate how hard it is ! Last push and enjoy Faith 👏👍
What an amazing series,
Thankyou
Yeah you could leave it there with the perfect sunset on the perfect beach but you always leave us wanting more Haze
Many thanks for taking us on your journey - in bite sized chunks. I've loved everything about it - and shared your pain and joy!
What a holiday - nothing else like it. Aren't mountains great. x
I also used to play triangle in a reggae band for a while! It was chill, I’d just stand at the back and ting
I just did the NC500 on my bike, it's a lot of fun, amazing views, we got lucky with the weather when we did it a few weeks ago
As ever, an inspiration to us all to just get out walking in the hills and experience even a small fraction of what you’ve shared.
23:55 Even a week of walking can't dampen his spirit. Love the humor 😂
These have been grand to watch! What a journey.
Nice one mate thanx for sharing your extreme endurance mission...)
Well done Mr Haze, a great enjoyable series too.
Yeah, I have to tell my friends "It's a Holiday" as well !
"Why do you go by yourself ?" Mate said: "Nobody mad enough to go with me !"
Yes, amazing that Biker has replied below. ATB from Scotland.
Looking forward to watching your vid when I get home unfortunately I'm out in the mountains of Tennessee right now having a hike
Not unfortunate at all. TN mtns are beautiful. Enjoy yourself. Best wishes from nearby Asheville NC.
You are so right unfortunate wad a poor choice of words. Greetings from Chattanooga
You are almost there and I'm worn out just watching. Looking forward to the end. Thanks for taking us along.
Brutifull Bernard! 🙂
What more to say lad, awesome trip, awesome series, thoroughly enjoyed watching it all! Looking forward to the finale! Cheers.
Brilliant. Love your work.
nice one mate. i loved that.....the whole trip..excellent....good lad
Hazey you’ve witness on your quest what most of us in our lifetimes will never experience and the joy it will bring to your memories are irreplaceable.A was getting emotional then when you were on the edge of giving up a was shouting and willing you on my misses was like what you……a was like you don’t get it ma love I’m on my journey.Truly tho Haley an inspiration to us all.All the very best to you and the family.The final pish can’t wait 🏴🏴🏴🏴👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I've been loving this series. I almost don't want it to end! Fair play to you - that's a decent old hike in some very tough conditions. Thanks for taking us along with you!
So glad you kept on, and didn't end it there. That was a stunning finish. But I've cut short on so many trips, big mountains and ALWAYS regret it lol..... well done.
Good drills, top man cracking effort fella 👍🏼
Remember the 7 P's Hazy, proper preparation and planning prevents piss poor performance.
I have got a sophisticated program that will show you exactly where level platforms exist anywhere in the UK for where you can bed down a tent for the night.
Well done, that was some walk
Cleggy
A ray of Sunshine from Power Ranger Haze. What a great set of videos. TYVM.
Love the videos, and the words about negativity are really important! Thank you so much for taking us with you. I'm glad you are holding off on cracking the beer till you reach the lighthouse. Three cheers!
🤣🤣🤣 deploy scarecrow support unit!!!! Amazing video yet again.
How is this comment a day ago , cmon @youtube
@@fourQQ not sure if its TH-cam or something Haze does but the video goes into the cwt playlist about 24 hours before it goes into his videos. I'm a bit sad and keep checking to see if there is a new video as I need my Haze fix as quickly as possible.
