Thank you for taking us with you. I enjoyed your trip and would like to give it a go myself. Thanks again for this upload, I’ll watch it again before I go. Take care, stay safe atb 👍🦊
Perfect video! Your original videos is what’s inspired me to do the West Highland Way. Defiantly will be getting that book. This video has been very helpful.
Full of fine tips for whatever outdoor adventure. I know you keep a journal. I made journals for all my European trips, later adding my selected and edited photos in the appropriate places. I have always enjoyed rereading them.
Amazing how far you have come in terms of experience and skill in such a relatively short time. A lot of hardship you pulled yourself through if i may say! I highly respect that. You are all walk and no talk, or how do you english people say? Great video, this is highly appreciated. Stay safe and have fun!
Thanks Becky, I'll be going in September and as I'm a McDonald I'll be making the stop in Glencoe. Your videos did inspire me to do this, so thanks again and take care 👍🙂❤
I got back from the trail yesterday. I would agree that devils staircase is highly exaggerated and by no means the hardest part of the trail. Connic hill is harder but the rocky inversnaid to inverernan part defiantly hardest. One thing that wasn't exaggerated was the midges and ticks. I hike with my dog and he collected at least a dozen ticks throughout the journey. The midges are relentless (Avon skin so soft defiantly a good repellent) but a midge net is essential. The thing i found hard about the trail was the constant walking on rock. This is a rock path from start to finish and you will need a good pair of hiking boots. Don't try to do this in anything flimsy your feet will be in bits. Another tip i would give for anyone hiking with a dog is doggie backpacks - Don't use them, the rocky terrain will be a strain on your dogs pads and the extra weight makes it worse. I ended up carrying my dogs pack after the first 2 days.
Hu, I'm planning to walk this in April with my dog. Just wondering did you come across much cattle on the way, and was there ways to go around cow fields? I'm scared of going through cattle fields with my dog
@@ruthpine-apple9860 there is cattle but they don't really get close my dog is reactive and I walked him on long line with no problems. When the cattle was in sight I just put him on short lead
I climbed Conich hill yesterday (5th June) from Balmaha car park. Mum and dad came up and a lot of people from our church. I live in Port Glasgow and so I’m not to far from the west highland way. So it’s funny coincidence your video should be posted on that very day. I’m originally from Norwich Norfolk and have lived up here for about 10 years all together. Nice to hear a familiar accent. Well chuffed mate 😉☺️
His Becky, I really enjoyed following you on that trip. I’m wondering where you are heading next. You know I haven’t got over you cooking that apple pie. When I finally head out on my cycling trip, well my cooking skills on a single gas burner are limited, I tend to head for the pub or a cafe for eats. I will try those meals you mentioned but if your stuck for something to film you could always do a simple dish for the lone cyclist.
Another extra outstanding video about your hiking and camping ventures along with your thoughts on what to do when making that West Highland Way trek. What does your new green hat say on it? Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Wishing you a super extra wonderful day/evening.
Camped in Ireland 13 years ago and was quoted 25 euros for the night, at one place and the only place to be fair. Laughed and said no thanks, I'll try my luck. Don't remember exactly what happened but I didn't pay 25 of any money to pitch for the night. You can pay £29 for a night at a Premier Inn is how I look at it, granted the views and placement aren't as good/handy. The bathroom, bed and tv on the other hand trump that. Wildcamping is the way, hands down. No complaints at all when I do that. Don't mean to moan so much and thanks for the upload
Regarding food try and take slow release energy food - ie porridge (Breakfast), flapjacks day time energy and jacket potatoes (evening food).... As I run long distances these are what I live on.... or just 'Tailwind' (powder mix with water)....
Iv been all over since being your age .im a LOT older my daughters your age now . I asked her if she fancied kayaking loch ness she said yes , being a bit rough arsed myself a bath to me is a dunk in a loch no soap or niceties , iv got complete double kit tents the lot ( done this a while) but any reccomendations from a young lady's point of view thanks Becky ☺ the old houses from the clearances are an awfull reminder , a lot of houses have gas bottles connected to their cookers , and coal in winter ,
Hey! Great video with some really good advice. I see you got the train to Scotland. Was that from Gatwick? I have the west highland coming up in july and not sure if train or flying would be better? 🤔. I'm thinking train...
Nice description I'm concidering doing the whw this year maybe autumn! Have you concidred the swcp? Highly recommended it's such a great trail, tough but rewarding!
You say the dehydrated food pack are nice and light but seeing as you have to carry water (and you said water was hard to come by in many places) so perhaps not so light afterall. Plus of course very expensive. I prefer to open tinned food at home, place that in zip bags then heat in a pot as required. Good video though with many great tips.. Well done
I have just back watched your why I left school at 16 video, I felt just the same as you forty years ago ,so I gave most of my free time to scouting sharing my enthusiasm for the camping and bush skills overtime I worked but spent my weekends hiking and scouting married with children as they grew up I went back to scouting by this time girls were aloud to join . My point being if you can find a way to earn a living doing the things you love than enjoy it its you life to live your way you like good luck
Hey Becky, "Survival Lilly" here on yt just gave you a shout out and told her subs to come check you out. I thought that was pretty cool so I figured that I would mention it in case you didn't know. Keep up the good work.
Hi becky lv you know the cabins you stop in on way do you have to book or can you just turn up on day. Just that if I do decide in time might be something for me to consider if doing longer journey . Whats your favourite place so far you visited lv .
Wow..Becky,I guess it's your name. Ì am in love with you and especially your videos.I always enjoy watching your videos.you make me smile from the heart.bye May god bless you my outdoor queen.Lol
Hi Becky, did you do the high road or the low road on that section of loch Lomond when you said about scrambling over boulders etc? Myself, hubby & 2 youngest kids (12 & 14) were meant to do the WHW at Easter but was cancelled due to covid , we've rebooked for the summer holidays so any tips or advice is very welcome do thanks for sharing x
@@GirlOutdoors ahh, we plan to do the high road, I've heard it's easier than the low but still technical, also you get amazing views apparently. We're doing it over 7 days (9 if you include travel to & from as we're in Cambridge). We want to take it easy so the kids enjoy it & will want to do some other long distance hikes in the UK x
When did you hike it? Been looking at doing this (and Great Glen Way) for the last two years, but the pandemic has kind of put a kicker in it. So aiming for next spring/summer. :D (again) I hear that mites become an annoyance in late summer, but are less prelevant in spring and maybe early summer?
Really liked your video! I understand you make some advertisment for some brands with the size of your channel. But...buy a food-dryer, a vacuum-sealer and you are good to go! Began myself on this freeze dried food idea...but NO, heck no, it a taste of nothing. Do it yourself, a little more work but all the taste is there!
Your videos always brighten my day! Thank you....
I'm so glad!
I'm glad you enjoyed your trip, and met a good friend on the trip, thats what it's all about, rain or shine. Well done !!!
Thank you Garry :)
Awesome explanations. Good work becky

Great journey loved it .. one word ( EAR PLUGS ) 😀

Do you call all vacuum sealed, freeze dried food "Russian packs" in the UK?
"Real Turmat" is a Swedish product!
It’s ‘ration’ packs mate :)
Easy to see though how you hear ‘Russian’…

Is their a cell phone app. of that book?
"you need gel if your bonking"!! what the hell does bonking down south mean?

Gave my support joined patrion

Hello 👋👍👍👍
Now that you've done the west highland way, you've just got the north coast 500 left to do !!!
