Really enjoyed watching this adventure Mr Wild Wales. I have to chuckle at some of your words and expressions. I found myself repeating them around the house. "I'm shattered. That's bonkers. I woke up really perky." LOL! Love it! What an epic trip with such Incredible footage of the beautiful Scotland.
Glad you liked it! Ha I don't know what I'm going to say next myself sometimes 😂! It's a beautiful country I will have to go back to Scotland again soon 👌
Just got round to watching this , watched every minute of it mate ! Well laid out video with good banter and breathtaking scenery , cracking effort adam 👍🏕
love the quip about keeping something out / in (fences) a delightful place to visit/stay. So where is your 4 legged friend this time? - midgee's galore & no insect repellant?? Wonderful exploration of the the Hillsides & Loch's, encountering cows & I found your tale of a poor guy getting trampled, so sad, there is a moral somewhere in that tale. Having buildings available to stay is definite a Plus for travellers. Nice big & clean. You Saying, 'down there where I came from' my dear father-in-law would say hubby's dad & I love the accent. Beautiful, ancient & foreboding place & so inviting at the same time, Rocks suspended in time, magical place, so happy to have joned you on this helluva trip and thank you for the invite. Travel well n safe. Cheers Memorable song: 'Speed Bonnie Boat LIke a Bird on a wing, onward the Sailors cry,
Poppy would have loved to come on this hike with me but she couldn't come on the plane. I used lots of insect spray but they just seemed to ignore it most of the time! The buildings are called bothies there is quite a lot of them around but they are mostly very basic huts. The one in Camasunary is quite a new build I think. Glad you enjoyed the trip I'm happy I videoed it so that I can watch it back myself to remember it 👌
Sat here tonight with a glass of wine and watched the full video. Awesome fair play, take my hat off to you doing this on your own. Hell of an achievement!! 💪
Excellent trek . Some spectacular scenery, very reminiscent of my part of Ireland, South West , Cork/Kerry . You experienced some varied conditions. Well done lad 👌🇮🇪
Great video very engaging. I want to have a crack at this next year so this video is very helpful. Picked up some good tips - Meatball curry, Pot Noodle cup and a plane for wild camping. Keep the videos coming, great stuff.
Afternoon Adam, we loved this and thanks for documenting your trip so brilliantly ❤☕ some food memories for Kat. Loved everything from the bus story to the varried terrain and challenges you faced along the way, pleased to see the bothys and hear everyone you meet was nice along the way too. Brillaint, chuffed to bits for you and your meatball curry too. Have a great weekend, catch you soon, Ceri and Kat ❤👍☕⛰
Hi Adam. Found your channel from watching Gez`s last video. Watched your kit loadout video for this trip, went to watch this one then saw how long it was. First thing my brain said was, ffs thats a long video. But here I am one hour and 20 minutes later, absolutely loved it. Just a quick selfie before I die.... 😂 Looks like you had an amazing adventure, I am heading to Skye in March for the first time, this video has made me even more excited than I was before. Only downside of finding your channel, is that I now have a ton of new videos to watch, I am never going to get anything done! ATB, Ryan
Hi there thanks for checking it out I don't normally make my videos this long but a lot happened! Skye is brilliant you'll love it but it can get windy up there as you saw. Ha hope you like my other stuff mate
Great Sunday morning viewing with a ☕. Looked awesome buddy & by Scotlands standards you lucked in with the weather 👍🏕. Got me thinking about a full on Multi day adventure over the Spring 22. Thanks as always for putting together another brilliant vid.
Spending my Sunday morning watching this. I'm hoping to do this, maybe in October but if not, next spring. Really enjoying it and giving me loads of inspiration to do it. Thanks!
Hey mate. Thanks for the video. Highly entertaining and great for me personally as I'm up there next week. North to South and praying to the weather gods. Can't wait. Genuinely excited for this one. Cheers.
Great video 👍 think we passed each other whilst battling along the Trotternish Ridge - we were headed the other way - was a rather windy day ! ATB Murray
Great trip , would love to do that sometime. No excuses really , only an hour or so up the road to Kyle from my house . Bit dodgy round that lochside though . Worth it for those views ..
It's a brilliant hike this really enjoyed it. The bad step is an alternative route so you don't need to do that bit. It's worth it though on a calm day
Great thing about Scotland is wild camping is completely legal, no being asked to move on like you would in some spots in the Gower. Also 8:34 I've got that stove, from a cheap camping pan set from Amazon.
Yeah it's great camping up there but sometimes it's bizarre when you spot a tent in town or in a layby.id still rather be out of sight! Its good having a sparker on the stove it worked pretty well for the week
Firstly congrats for completing the trail bud & hope you enjoyed those well deserved beers in Inverness. Really enjoyed watching this & definitely added skye to my list.
Wow awesome adventure and video buddy. Them views were wow factor. So jealous.a movie length video, you shit the bed or something 😂😂.. Well I didn't get bored once, loved every minute of it. Your sardines looked discusting though 😂.. Right then Adam! Thanks for the shout out lol. Fair play what an adventure.if your ever up for some West Wales coastal hiking. Give me a shout.im wanting to do some sections there 👍
Thanks for watching mate ha I wondered if you'd notice me mention you 😂👍 it definitely took some doing putting this one together I'm glad people like it. No I won't be making sardine soup again lol. Some amazing bits down West Wales I wouldnt mind checking some of that out 👍
@@MrWildWales gotta be done pal. Luv West Wales coast paths. Was meant to hike st David's to Fishguard this summer. But didn't happen. Yeah thanks man, definitely appreciate the shout out 👍
Hats off to you Adam that was one hell of a journey, u seen some mountains and awesome scenery, must of slept for a week when you got home, Where's the next adventure u must have 1 planned ha 👍
Thank you pal definitely tired after this one you can see me struggling towards the end 😅. Nothing big planned at the minute just a local one this weekend I think
What a fantastic adventure Ad, that was a great walk and amazing camp spots, lots of places you walked brought back 1980's memories with William and Nev. Great weather all the time too which is rarity for Skye 😊 👍
Cheers mate and spoilt for choice for camping spots there it was stunning! Glad I took the train like you suggested too. Yeah a nice dry week for it only problem I had really was getting water sometimes as it was so dry ha
Only 25 mins in to your video but boy!! What great weather!! I’m setting off to do it in two weeks time, sooo hoping for similar views. I ll enjoy the rest of your vid now, thank you for posting
@@MrWildWales I've been out of the UK for 20 years, back in 3 weeks and having time to myself and enjoying nature is going to be a MUST for my sanity. Keep the vids coming!
Wow some of those rock scrambles look a little scary. Was thinking about doing this trail solo as well but I think I would rather bypass that scramble, I have no balance at the best of times! Great content though and well done for that section, lucky it was dry that day!
@@MrWildWales awesome that’s good to know I think I would be skipping that section I would 100% end up in the sea else 😅 I’ve just finished the whole video now fab trail! Looks tough but the views look so rewarding
100% epic video, loved every minute with your cheerful carasmatic style. Real men drink from pot noodle cups function over form well chuffed for you fella.👍
@@MrWildWales yes I’m quite fond of a pot noodle, they’re underrated in my opinion. Tasty cheap snack and the pot is handy afterwards. And function over form is one of my most used sayings…. 🤣
There's a rain water filled water butt right by the bothy, Used it every time I have been there. The other water source is a small stream on the direct path back to the car park Ciows and sheep graze the headland so I would be mindfull if using that
briliant video . if your planing a Scotland trip again i got nothing to do ill share driving with you i got a new ish van and 2 very young staffy girls . im up for a trip camping . not trying to scare you mind . but not alot of people i know would even think about a holiday in that way . you make a vid i dont mind hiding away . im in cornwall got to pass you if im going
Hi buddy what's the one tigris iron wall like , I don't drive so it's public transport etc for me to go further a field so backpacking wheight a must and reply gladly appreciated
@@marcmitchell4464 it's a good lightweight tent you get loads of space it served me very well last year! I found it a little flimsy to be used as a hot tent though
Yes cause it's sil nylon I've got a polish lavvu size 3 I've used it for hot tenting but was looking at something that drys alot better etc cheers for heads up on that the big beast u posted on videos the latterbouge or what ever I'm a bit pissed tbh at moment work nights regular etc so enjoying my free time lol
Great video,nice to have met you on the way. Pity you couldn’t get to see the whole ridge (it does make you feel tiny when you see it) they don’t call it the Misty isle for nothing. West highland way next ?
Awesome video, Adam how did you find the Lanshan 1 Pro people say they are bad for condensation plus what's that tattoo on your back looks awesome. 🤘🤘🏴🏴🏴
I think you would have enjoyed the walk better if you'd had someone with you. It must have been hard to keep motivated. The nights would have been long. I hope that you had a good book or some music to keep you entertained. Well done.
Every day I kept thinking I'm going to listen to some music tonight but I was so tired I'd fall asleep straight after tea. Didn't really have time to get lonely there was too much to do all the time!
@@MrWildWales hahaha well you nailed it, next challenge, try get a highlander to pronounce some really welshy Weldh. Words! Challenge accepted boyo 😉❤️👍👍
Love your video of this trail! Makes me excited to go as well :D Just wondering, in what month were you walking this trail? Seems like you got quite lucky with the weather ☺️
What do you do for water? Are there some natural sources that you consider unsafe to use? How exactly do you treat and filter it? Planning on doing this Trail before but have only ever done thru hikes that pass often enough through places with clean water that's available.
Great video! And thank you for sharing. What time of the year was this? Just starting to plan a trip for next June mostly by train and by foot around Scotland (coming from the US), hoping to save money by mostly camping, occasionally staying in hostels or even a bed-and-breakfast here and there. Would love to avoid the midges, but will have to go when I have time to go, which is mid June. Also, Is it possible to take a train from Glasgow to the Isle of Skye, or would I need to stop before the Isle of Skye and get a ride by car the rest of the way? I would imagine you have to go onto the island by car. Just don’t want to have to rent a car because we want to just be able to backpack to wherever we want to stop each time and then hitch a ride back to the train station or wherever we got dropped off after getting a ride from the nearest train station. :-) but if needs be, I’ll just rent a car and do backpacking loops back to the car each time. Thanks for any help or advice you can give me on this! Fellow TH-cam hikers are usually the best helpers!
Hi there thanks for watching this was hiked in August. I think midges are unavoidable there just make sure you've got some sprays and mesh to hide behind! The train you need to take gets you as far as Kyle of Lochalsh which is just over the bridge to Skye. There are buses to take you onto the island and they circulate it pretty often you won't need a car. The hotels tend to be pretty expensive so camping is definitely preferred (and allowed) trying to stay away from the main tourist areas.
@@MrWildWales Thank you for responding, it means so much to me that you took a little time to describe the transportation situation to me. It’s been a long time (2010) since I had to plan international transportation, but I’m so looking forward to seeing Scotland again, the land of my ancestors. It’s good news that we won’t need a car, perhaps we will be able to do what I hoped, and just take trains and buses everywhere and then walk from stations to anywhere else we want to go. Camping and hostels all the way! Thanks again for the info and the great video, subscribing to your channel!
Great video, mate! Im looking at a new trail to do in July with the missus. Just watched this with her and it's now high up on the list! Did you get much hassle off the midges? (She's asking) 😂
@@MrWildWales Yes, probably unavoidable on the west coast - looks like you didn't get it too bad though. Had a few bevvies last night, and was trying to convince her there'd be no midges up there if we do the trail 😂
Thanks for taking the time to do this im planning to do it the opposite way in june what map is it you used as it seems better than any i have seen so far do you have a link to buy?
@@MrWildWales cheers Skye looks like something off lord of the rings you did it in 8 days ! Probably take me a week lol did the trip cost loads including the transport,hotel and everything. Bet poppy was gutted she never went found it funny when I watched your WWII video and she knocked your wrap lol
Its an amazing place well worth a visit. Yeah I got to the end in 7 days but wanted to spend the night at the bothy instead of rushing off. Maybe about £350 I guess quite a bit but well worth it
@@MrWildWales that’s a lot cheaper than I thought prefer spending £350 on that then going to a holiday camp site you know the type I always get the site with the muppets on it lol
Really enjoyed watching this adventure Mr Wild Wales. I have to chuckle at some of your words and expressions. I found myself repeating them around the house. "I'm shattered. That's bonkers. I woke up really perky." LOL! Love it! What an epic trip with such Incredible footage of the beautiful Scotland.

That was epic... definitely one for the bucket list.
Amazing island!
Brilliant video of an epic trip fella! Nice way to pass a rainy Sunday morning. Look forward to watching your next big adventure...?!
Thanks for watching! I hope to do another big hike in the summer

Thanks for watching! It's a lovely island
Great video.
Hope to do this trail July '23.
Good luck with it. You will love it!
I have sea kayaked and camped at all the bits you struggled on rock paths. It is much easier to get around those rocks by sea!
Sounds brilliant exploring it by kayak!

The other water source is a small stream on the direct path back to the car park
Ciows and sheep graze the headland so I would be mindfull if using that
Yeah I did see that but I prefer to use flowing water instead of standing 👍 I always either treat or boil any water I collect

Well done m8, great video looked amazing. Not sure about ur sardines and mash soap tho lol 🤙
Sardine soup was pretty awful 🤢 haha I ate it though good for energy
Great video,nice to have met you on the way. Pity you couldn’t get to see the whole ridge (it does make you feel tiny when you see it) they don’t call it the Misty isle for nothing. West highland way next ?
Thanks very much and your tips helped too. That ridge was very dramatic anyway! Giving me ideas now I might plan another trail for next year 👍
Hi, I really enjoyed your Vlog and humour 😊. Would you mind letting me know what map you used? All the best for your new adventures 2022.
Thanks glad you liked it here is the map its a Harveys - amzn.to/3AFnTnG
Great vid Adam, some nice sketchy scrambles. Shame you didn't always get the best views. So, when are you getting your sea plane?
Thanks pal the crazy wind on the ridge was still interesting 😂 I think if I start saving now I'll get a plane by retirement 👌
Awesome video, Adam how did you find the Lanshan 1 Pro people say they are bad for condensation plus what's that tattoo on your back looks awesome. 🤘🤘🏴🏴🏴
I didn't have any probs with condo. This isn't the pro version though it's the plus 👍cheers bud that tattoo is a kappa which is a river monster
I think you would have enjoyed the walk better if you'd had someone with you. It must have been hard to keep motivated. The nights would have been long. I hope that you had a good book or some music to keep you entertained. Well done.
Every day I kept thinking I'm going to listen to some music tonight but I was so tired I'd fall asleep straight after tea. Didn't really have time to get lonely there was too much to do all the time!
Epic video bud, also nice to hear the correct pronunciation of loch 😎👍
Cheers I wasn't sure to be honest I'm guessing its close to Welsh
@@MrWildWales hahaha well you nailed it, next challenge, try get a highlander to pronounce some really welshy Weldh. Words! Challenge accepted boyo 😉❤️👍👍
* welsh .. damn thumbs
I assume the Welsh vernacular is much like the Scottish, 90 percent is just clearing our throats
I think it's pretty similar yeah. That and sounding like a cat hissing 😅
Love your video of this trail! Makes me excited to go as well :D Just wondering, in what month were you walking this trail? Seems like you got quite lucky with the weather ☺️
Thanks very much I went in the last week of August I got really lucky with the weather I think!

I wouldn't say the water is any less fresh in Skye than anywhere else. I treated it myself with chlorine tabs or boiled 🤟
Great video! And thank you for sharing. What time of the year was this? Just starting to plan a trip for next June mostly by train and by foot around Scotland (coming from the US), hoping to save money by mostly camping, occasionally staying in hostels or even a bed-and-breakfast here and there. Would love to avoid the midges, but will have to go when I have time to go, which is mid June.
Also, Is it possible to take a train from Glasgow to the Isle of Skye, or would I need to stop before the Isle of Skye and get a ride by car the rest of the way? I would imagine you have to go onto the island by car. Just don’t want to have to rent a car because we want to just be able to backpack to wherever we want to stop each time and then hitch a ride back to the train station or wherever we got dropped off after getting a ride from the nearest train station. :-) but if needs be, I’ll just rent a car and do backpacking loops back to the car each time. Thanks for any help or advice you can give me on this! Fellow TH-cam hikers are usually the best helpers!
Hi there thanks for watching this was hiked in August. I think midges are unavoidable there just make sure you've got some sprays and mesh to hide behind! The train you need to take gets you as far as Kyle of Lochalsh which is just over the bridge to Skye. There are buses to take you onto the island and they circulate it pretty often you won't need a car. The hotels tend to be pretty expensive so camping is definitely preferred (and allowed) trying to stay away from the main tourist areas.
@@MrWildWales Thank you for responding, it means so much to me that you took a little time to describe the transportation situation to me. It’s been a long time (2010) since I had to plan international transportation, but I’m so looking forward to seeing Scotland again, the land of my ancestors. It’s good news that we won’t need a car, perhaps we will be able to do what I hoped, and just take trains and buses everywhere and then walk from stations to anywhere else we want to go. Camping and hostels all the way! Thanks again for the info and the great video, subscribing to your channel!
@@troubadouroutdoors2126 Thank you for the sub! Hope you can get it all organised and enjoy the trip
Where the heck was that waterfall where you went swimming near the bothy at Camasunary beach?
There's a little stream on the path down the mountain next to it 👌
Great video, mate! Im looking at a new trail to do in July with the missus. Just watched this with her and it's now high up on the list! Did you get much hassle off the midges? (She's asking) 😂
Skye is fantastic but yeah there will be midges. Anywhere wild during the summer will be the same though!
@@MrWildWales Yes, probably unavoidable on the west coast - looks like you didn't get it too bad though. Had a few bevvies last night, and was trying to convince her there'd be no midges up there if we do the trail 😂
@@owensoutdoors73 good luck with that one 😆 On breezy days it was fine but they did hang about a little bit. Jungle formula spray worked really well
@@MrWildWales Nice one! Thanks, mate 👍🏻
Thanks for taking the time to do this im planning to do it the opposite way in june what map is it you used as it seems better than any i have seen so far do you have a link to buy?
No problem mate my pleasure! This is the map to get 100% amzn.to/3DUhfeD full map in one waterproof package
@@MrWildWales Thanks alot keep up with the videos only saw a few so far but good job :)
If I sold my Hilleberg I could afford a plane and a vango 🤷♂️🤣🤣🤣
Ha just think you could land in all those reservoirs near us 😂
Adam where did you get the Skye trail map from ?
Here is where I bought it amzn.to/3eZz0O6
@@MrWildWales cheers Skye looks like something off lord of the rings you did it in 8 days ! Probably take me a week lol did the trip cost loads including the transport,hotel and everything. Bet poppy was gutted she never went found it funny when I watched your WWII video and she knocked your wrap lol
Its an amazing place well worth a visit. Yeah I got to the end in 7 days but wanted to spend the night at the bothy instead of rushing off. Maybe about £350 I guess quite a bit but well worth it
@@MrWildWales that’s a lot cheaper than I thought prefer spending £350 on that then going to a holiday camp site you know the type I always get the site with the muppets on it lol
Dont believe it at all. The oldest rocks in the world are found in Glyn neath social club!
🤣🤣🤣
Where Can I get a map?
Search for "Harveys skye trail" cheers
