Permethrine helps with the ticks. Spray your tent and all your gear. It will kill ticks for months. I know chemicals are less than ideal but when it comes to ticks I don't care.
May the butcher's dog hang its head in shame...you know that "serious walkers" take days off , like resting up for 24 hours or so to give the body some recovery, any way I hope you can complete the trail as a through walk but that's not to say there's any shame in doing it by sections. Well done on making Inverness, the percentage of people living there who have actually walked to John o Groats must be very low, I d estimate less than a half of 0.1%, if that.The offer of a pitch in my back garden in Edinburgh still stands when you reach the Pentland Hills..good luck bonny lass .
Death to ticks!!! the bane of the outdoors!! I'm a tree surgeon and work in the logging industry. I think you will be ok if nobody is working and out of work hours. I think as long as you stay well clear of any chainsaw noise or machinery you should be pretty good to go just use common sense. and remember it's swings and roundabouts them 16 miles of shity road walks will at some point be followed by miles of the most epic scenery you have ever seen! it will make you appreciate the good stuff more. be safe take care!
Omg I hate ticks Hahaha. Yeah I was considering risking it... But I'd had so many mini dramas j though I better just play it safe. Thanks for watching buddy xx
You're doing brilliantly and I really look forward to seeing these vid uploads from on the trail, I'm crap at editing on my mobile / or on the go, so hats off to you for fitting that in as well.
Cheers buddy I was a bit apprehensive about sharing a negative video but actuslly, I think it's important to show the highs and the lows 😂 cos there certainly were many of both!
That little track was the “John o Gorse” trail. You’re doing so well me little Muddy, I’m a vegetarian so it heartens me to see it’s possible to remote travel and still avoid eating our furry friends! Never “tyre” of your vlogs 😊👍🏽♥️🥾🥾
🤣🤣🤣 I literally choked on my crisps laughing at that "John o goarse " comment 🤣 you'll find lots of veggie options on this trail, it was really accommodating for vegan, veggie and gluten free actuslly. I was really surprised x
@@muddy_bootlaces watching your vids makes my cheeks hurt because I have a massive smile throughout, thanks for taking us along with you and not chucking us out like a Tick 🪳
I did this around the same time as you. I heard rumour from other hikers. That you were a few days a head of me. I never caught up with you 😂 I ended walking over +1200miles zig zagging down the country in exactly 90 days. What an experience. Xx
Unfortunatley I don't have the money to do this, but i am treating myself to a Bnb or dorm for a few days after every trail as a reward for finishing 😍
Hello muddy , great video , good to see you're still soldiering on. At least it's downhill your way back to England . Hope you got most of the ticks out that night ?? Keep on trucking, take care safe travels.
I wish I could be there with you in these amazing scenery. I can double as a body guard. This adventure seems like a lot of fun. I would recommend a pair of light weight running shoes for the road to save your feet.
You're doing great and making good time. Alot better than I could do. Lol. I know it's no good to you now, but look into some custom insoles for your shoes. When I destroyed my ankle years ago I had to get some made and it helped me out quite a bit. I was in the military at the time and had to get a softer sole for my boots to help out also. Something to think about if you haven't. Looking forward to the next video already. Take care and stay safe. 👍👍👏👏
Hey jay, thanks for the advice... Unfortunatly when j looked into it before, the insoles are all solid and I need something with a bit more cushioning for the amount of impact on these trails. But will keep trying our different brands of shop ones in tbe hope something works x
08:24 i wouldn't resist and i woud take a bath in this waterfall or at least i'd try. Was it possible? I really enjoy your adventures. Sending good vibes from Brazil.
Oh you sweetheart, that's so kind, but I already have a hiking pole and need to be weight conscious on this long hike. But I really appreciate the thought x
Hold fast our kid you've got a few more miles to do yet can't believe I'm telling muddy bootlaces this but you've got this me cornish pal you yayyyyyy!!!! 😀👍❤
I'm liking sweary Beca - keeping it real! Are you sure you weren't on an animal trail through the gorse bush ? That would be about 3 years worth of growth down south 🤨probs more up north (I used to walk on and trim back footpaths with chest high gorse)
Thanks, really enjoyed this. Some gorgeous shots and can identify with the sleeping bag turning over and losing heat situation 😅Keep going - wishing you strength, dry days and no more trail blockages to you! 💚
That was a really good edit, I think your best one yet. Good vibes (apart from your feet and bastard ticks) shame about the tent from what you mentioned on Instagram, but hope that situation gets better 👌🏻🤞🏻🏕️
Great vid as always Becs. Hang in there, you’re smashing it. But look after that foot. Great tip with the noodles. Looking forward to future episodes. Take care matey x😊
Blame it on the trousers😂🤣🤣 Well you could'nt blame it on the chair🙃 Well done on compleating this section saves me a trip ‼ Reminds me of how much of an evloved system my kit is from my boots to my bag to my tent to my matt ! Looking forward to the next one 😘
Munlochly clootie well is where i think you went ive been there it's amazing if you would have found the well you would have seen thousands of items of clothes tied every where. You are definitely one amazing lady and such an inspiration to all stay safe and enjoy your journey back look forward to your next vlog.
Ah mate! Was really feeling for you on those rough sections. No highs without the lows though, so it's all good experience (type 2 fun and that lol). Really enjoying these vids, fairplay for getting them out on the trail. Good luck for the next stretch, atb Andy
@@muddy_bootlaces It’s an emotional rollercoaster!! long story short it’s about two brothers running away across America, through woods, camping, surviving - with some twists along the way. The music you used and shots of you walking through the forest reminded of the woodland scenes :)) emotionally brutal for sure though, super sad game, but beautiful, y’know? Kinda like real life! 😅
@@muddy_bootlaces I understood that, loud and clear. Suggestion: a cheap pair of binoculars to scan the horizon for possible target shelters? I have seen some at LIDL for £15!
all the time in the world you have beautiful be patient and take plenty of rest check into a bnb if you have to..for a night or 2 to help revive...stay safe we’re with you all the way

Ahh thanks for the tip x
Eat garlic, too. They don’t like it.
Happy hike, I ❤ your vids.
Awww thank you so much xx

When you said about wildbeare I was like yep this is my kind of TH-cam. My partner is going to was your videos too. Keep it up 😊
Great video can’t wait until your next one,wish I was doing it with you,three month sounds amazing,loads of memories x
Awww thanks Graham! Have a great day x
Urgh roadwalking is just yuck. I didn't realise how much I hate it until you do more than 7-8 miles regularly.
What kind of vegetation is that bush? Well, apparently, you're not in Ireland with those snakes. Poisonous??
Well done Beca 🎉 smashing it girl 🤛❤️🩹🏴🇬🇧
Thanks buddy xx
Thanks for a really nice watch. Enjoyed it all. Have a wonderful day.
Thanks mate x
Oh my…totally take my hat off to you girrrlll…you just keep going…😊
You're doing brilliantly and I really look forward to seeing these vid uploads from on the trail, I'm crap at editing on my mobile / or on the go, so hats off to you for fitting that in as well.
Another great video. Nice to see someone admit when things get suckish.Then you get up and start putting one foot in front of the other again.
Cheers buddy I was a bit apprehensive about sharing a negative video but actuslly, I think it's important to show the highs and the lows 😂 cos there certainly were many of both!
That sunrise looks amazing ❤
Thank you so much xx
Get ur self some hand warmers comes in pack of 10 lasts for 10h stick them all over ur bodie before sleep you'll thank me later
Hehe already on it sista xx
Love it Beca , especially the “farty” pants. Looking forward to the next instalment .
Hahaha mate everytime 🤣 i have to explain to everyone nearby when I sit down lol
It’s a disclaimer on the forestry they need to warn us..
Ahh fair. That makes sense x

Excellent ...thanks for sharing...and showing things for real. .😊
Every few days just BOOK INTO A B&B. It’ll make it so much easier. You should enjoy the JOURNEY and revive yourself when you feel shit. 👍
Unfortunatley I don't have the money to do this, but i am treating myself to a Bnb or dorm for a few days after every trail as a reward for finishing 😍
@@muddy_bootlaces nice one. Take your time - it’s the Journey not the destination. Something you will always remember. 👍☔️☀️🌦️👍
Well done, loved watching, fair play to you. ❤❤
Awww thanks Alan x

@@muddy_bootlaces the ones I got were custom made from a mold of my feet. Custom orthotics I think they are called.
08:24 i wouldn't resist and i woud take a bath in this waterfall or at least i'd try. Was it possible?
I really enjoy your adventures. Sending good vibes from Brazil.
Really enjoyed watching them moon leggings are ace the views are amazing and love your positive moods vibes their mint yessssiii atb freddy outdoors
I got an idea for a hand carved walking cane (thumbstick) ,,,everything becca themed 👍 I will hook u up on Instagram and hope it comes in useful 👍👍👍👍
Oh you sweetheart, that's so kind, but I already have a hiking pole and need to be weight conscious on this long hike. But I really appreciate the thought x

Nope, sadly that's the actual trail. Needs a trim 😂
Thanks, really enjoyed this. Some gorgeous shots and can identify with the sleeping bag turning over and losing heat situation 😅Keep going - wishing you strength, dry days and no more trail blockages to you! 💚
Oh man it's such a pain isn't it.. Why can't we sleep still 🤣🤣
That was a really good edit, I think your best one yet. Good vibes (apart from your feet and bastard ticks) shame about the tent from what you mentioned on Instagram, but hope that situation gets better 👌🏻🤞🏻🏕️
Awww thanks so much buddy, yeah the ticks need to do one!
Great vid as always Becs. Hang in there, you’re smashing it. But look after that foot.
Great tip with the noodles.
Looking forward to future episodes.

Thanks lovely... Lots of rest days to be added in from now on I think xx
Blame it on the trousers😂🤣🤣
Well you could'nt blame it on the chair🙃
Well done on compleating this section saves me a trip ‼
Reminds me of how much of an evloved system my kit is from my boots to my bag to my tent to my matt !
Looking forward to the next one 😘
Hahaha always the trousers, even when I'm wearing shorts 🙄🤣
Well done pushing through the pain, I am sure the Great Glen Way will be much more enjoyable and rewarding. How are the midges at the moment?
Hey buddy, the GGW was super flat so actuslly really agonising. I lost the footage too so the next video will be the WHW which j freaking love 😍😍😍
Munlochly clootie well is where i think you went ive been there it's amazing if you would have found the well you would have seen thousands of items of clothes tied every where. You are definitely one amazing lady and such an inspiration to all stay safe and enjoy your journey back look forward to your next vlog.
Ah yes, I was sk tempted to try and find it but my feet weren't my friend that day and I just wanted to finish lol
I don’t think I’ve ever seen you looking better Becca man you are a pretty wildcamper
Hahaha its make up, trust 🤣🤣
Keep your chin up Becca, your doing really great but look after your foot. Looking forward to your next vid x
Cheers buddy xx
Jesus 3months wow. Your swearing makes me laugh lol. Yr doing great xx
Hahaha mate I've a vile tounge
Totally thought there was a dark figure watching you from the trees at minute 18 😮😂
Mate I looked back, there really does. I think it's just a fallen tree though
Ah mate! Was really feeling for you on those rough sections. No highs without the lows though, so it's all good experience (type 2 fun and that lol). Really enjoying these vids, fairplay for getting them out on the trail. Good luck for the next stretch, atb Andy
Awww thanks buddy, it was definitely a mentally challenging one! Xx
What an amazing video. I've been following your journey on Instagram so it's been lovely to see your first section smashed. Well done 🎉❤
Awww thanks so much Em! It's nice to add a bit more context over here x
Super noodles are the food of the gods 👍
Keep up the good work dude 🥾
You knows it 🤣
Amazing video, gives me massive ‘Life Is Strange 2’ video-game vibes. Stay safe and enjoy the journey :)
Haha I've never played it.. But going to assume it's brutal but fun 😂
@@muddy_bootlaces It’s an emotional rollercoaster!! long story short it’s about two brothers running away across America, through woods, camping, surviving - with some twists along the way.

Brilliant you've got this.......
Thanks Peter x
Smashing it, thanks for the awesome content ❤
Ah cheers Colin 👍
Epic
Great video, well edited having seen snippets of the journey on your posts. 👍🏻
Awww thanks buddy x
@@muddy_bootlaces I can't wait to get out now. I've got a base in Scotland in the Cambrians but going wild camping next time I'm up
"There's a f%ck*n chair an everything..." 😄
Mate the anger I had in that moment 🤣
@@muddy_bootlaces I understood that, loud and clear. Suggestion: a cheap pair of binoculars to scan the horizon for possible target shelters? I have seen some at LIDL for £15!
all the time in the world you have beautiful be patient and take plenty of rest check into a bnb if you have to..for a night or 2 to help revive...stay safe we’re with you all the way
Thanks lovely, after every trail I'm treating myself to one, don't you worry ❤️❤️❤️
