    Brilliant again Sarah. No way I could do this. That road drag looked an absolute killer. And those funking midges 😬. I was scratching just sat here watching it. Looking forward to the next one. You’re a star mate. Inspirational 😎👍🙏🏻

    50 minutes worth of pure viewing pleasure. The best things in life are worth waiting for. As for missing the schoolhouse .....................I felt for you , I really did. That's why someone invented the word ' gutted ' for these kinds of situations.

    Another amazing video Sarah. Don't know how you survived the midges. The Scottish midge is brutal. I remember being in Gairloch camping and the midges were so bad we shoved the whole tent in the back of the car and drove to a windy spot to eat breakfast to escape the wee blood suckers!

    The video was well worth waiting for, the views as usual were outstanding. I'm not scared of midges, but I don't think I'd cope with as many as what you had to put up with, such a pity about that missed chance of the bothy lol. August do not dooo, (note to self) thanks for the hint.
    That dip seemed as though it cheered you up and I'm sure you felt refreshed afterwards, going by that little jig you did towards the end 😄.

Last week May early June is the best time to hike in Scotland.I was surprised in your gear review you didn't say you had a satellite tracker like Garmin Inreach. Parts of where you were hiking cell reception is non existent...would have hate you to have twisted your ankle spinning around in the bogs! Love your mad cap sense of humour and adventure and honest narrative of what it's like to be in the wild. Well done cutty sark!

    Great video - I'm really enjoying this series. It’s so spooky what you said at the end re midge repellent. At some point during the video when you were mentioning midges, YT popped an advert in for some skanky earwax removal tool! I was thinking that they would be far better off putting more relevant ads in such as for midge repellent or an advert for chaffed chuff cream, pissy underwear refreshing spray, a travel size skid removal detergent or something similar. Just a thought 😆. ATB Hambo 🙏💐

    Fantastic again. Sarah - those midge looked fierce (and the spiders worse !). Not sure when you did the walk in August but if memory serves me right I was in Skye towards the end of the month (the weather was fantastic - sorry !;). I felt your pain and despair on the road section - nothing worse . Looking forward to the next part 👍
    Take care
