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!! 👏👏
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
The bit where you didn't Wana wave...then waved...and it cheered you up was the epitome of the beauty of humanity
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.
That rain sounds lovely during this current heat wave. ☀️
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.
Ah the auld reggae band triangle dad joke 😂. Absolute soul lifter 👏🏻👏🏻
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 🤙
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 👍
You're just practising for the next trip.... Lands End to John o' Groats 😁
Class mate, actually buzzing there's still another episode to go!
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 💪
Perfect Sunday Entertainment 👌What a great series 👌👍🍻
What a way to spend the final night of a tough trail mate 👌
I was hoping you’d shout “MEDIC” when you fell over
Great videos mate, hope you enjoyed that liquid gold at the end
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!
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.
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
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🙏
Love how positive you are even when it gets tough... Well done 🏴🙏
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
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!!
These have been grand to watch! What a journey.
So well done 👏👏
Loved watching these video’s, absolutely epic 👌
Good work Hazey. What a final spot.
Keep them coming Haze 🙌😎 brilliant stuff 👏
Great series of video. really enjoying them
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
Awesome series! Really enjoyed that.
Been amazing following ur journey haze
Amazing. Well done. What a fantastic experience
These vids give me endless smiles
Thanks mate 👍
I knew I'd start getting stuff in my eyes when you were getting close to the end.
Gorgeous
Well done lad good work love it!
Brilliant. Love your work.
Thanks for taking us along! Looking forward to the finale. Awesome job 💪🏼
Brilliant episode 👏
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
Well done Haze, brilliant 👏👍
Big thumps up, Haze!! Good trail! ✌️
Superb spot on the beach, looked amazing!
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.
Very inspirational. I’ve loved every episode. Your the Boss
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.
Another great episode. I hope people can appreciate the mental aspect of continuing a hike like this in less-than-stellar conditions.
Well done, you're doing great.
Well done hazey 👍🏻👍🏻
Beautiful! Thanks for reminder to keep positive. :)
You're doing amazingly don't give up!! 💕
You are so brave.. such a long trail!
Love your banter :)
Well done! You’re an inspiration and breath of fresh air👍🏻
Truly inspirational, thoroughly enjoy your videos. Good luck and see you at the finish !!
There’s a bright golden Haze in the Highlands. An excellent series, always a pleasure to watch your videos.Hats off to you !
Such an awesome series and of course a beautiful trail. I bet that Northern Monk went down beautifully. 💯❤👍
Ace mate. Loved it. Respect brother.👍🌴🌻
Bloody great ..one episode left..👍
Cracking vids and love that sound
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
Very inspiring video, mate. Good job. :D
Many thanks for taking us on your journey - in bite sized chunks. I've loved everything about it - and shared your pain and joy!

Good stuff Hazey!!
Nice and again i enjoyed the video.
It gives me insperation to go hiking myself.
Great vid Haze
Loving the series haze, great inspiration even when you going bonkers
Brilliant mate. Lived in Scotland for 8 years (before moving to East Yorkshire!) and Sandwood Bay has to be my fave spot. Well done for resisting the beer there!
Mad respect man.
Spectacular sand wood bay. Save beer for lighthouse 🍺
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!
