What you didnt really like about this tent? Maybe difficulty to set it up properly everyday or smth?

Good effort pal. Weather is being manipulated. Geo engeneering and HAARP. Just another conspiracy theory though

Glad you managed to complete the trail on the second approach. Glasnakille is really unfriendly for wildcampers. We managed to find a spot to sleep at the end of tarmac (going north). Undoubtely Portree became crowded these days. But still nice place for a good food and resupply. You skipped the part on the hills toward the Needle. They kicked us really hard (we had two attempts there) :) The Flodigarry Hotel was the place where we were drying our boots as we got soaked in the very first meters of the trail near Duntulm. Anyway it is nice to refresh memories watching your video. Good job. Take care.

Great companion, great spot, set of ciders, midges on board. Just perfect. Now I'm gonna watch the clip from Murray's point of view :)

Hi Ray. Love your chanel. What's that piece of music that plays when you're putting the tent up. It's superb. Very atmospheric.

Did you have any issues with the fly touching the inner in windy conditions?

I've got the Southern Cross 2. Decided I wanted a true 4 season for solo camping. The extra room, and head room are great for long nights, especially as I am 6ft 1in. Not had issue with condensation on the inner, even with the outer being healily frosted inside and out.

I slept in this building back in 1979, it had a roof then. We were camping in an upstairs room, a board placed in the window fell inwards on top of my friends head, it had been there for a while and without being touched or shook it fell…we only found out the next night at Ossian that it was haunted.

Great video Ray. Always look forward to them. What is your preference. Expedition Foods or Sea to Summit.

Nice one Ray, glad you got to complete the trail 👍🏻. I have a Lanshan 1 Pro so would definitely like to see the modifications you made. I think it’s a great tent. ATB!

Beautiful place , but you spent the night talking about your tent !😮

Gonna do the WHW next year. I've had a bad experience with your Jock midges, so what months ( or dates) would you avoid?

How come is so hard to find videos like this of dometic tents. Are people not buying them?

Great vid! I’m sure you have been asked a hundred times- do you have a link to the waist pack? - Ribzpack , just seen on the gear list 👍🏻

I did this hike last week. Sad to see the missing person signs still up for Neil Skinner. I saw his memorial plaque where his possessions were found. Thanks for the video.

Great video, I really enjoyed this!

Good thoughts on tents..i would love to see you trying abisko lite 1..

I thought Lanshan 1 didnt need seam sealing ? Good effort

Loved the Music Glen Tilt is a Brilliant Place and have cycled it many times. Glad you have a front fork big improvement .many Thanks.

They must be drowning in money if they can make a drama over a paying customer even before they have opened...

like you makes sense the route you took very good vid . see you have an Audi still have the Volvo?

Enjoyed watching your video.. Quite an achievement!

Poor weather, we walked North South, couldn't do the Trotternish Ridge. Wind and Rain, a night at the Look Out Bothy. apart from day's 1 and 2 we had good weather.

Thank you for the fantastic vlog, Ray! I was surprised about the long stretches of tarmac, but the trail sure is stunning... At the time of the vlog's upload I was just on my third (and successful) attempt to walk the West Highland Way. I'm hooked on hiking and (wild) camping and it's also because of you and your work. Thank you for that! I was thinking about tackling the East Highland Way next. Can you recommend it? All the best, Matthias

Alwa a pleasure to watch your videos ,thanks for sharing

My wife and I camped at Sligachan in the eighties it was when dome tents were just coming out, well a massive storm hit at night and the tent was being blown flat on us and I’d never known winds like it, when daylight came we went to go to the toilet and wash room and the campsite was nearly empty, we then saw loads of tents blown into the loch and people had shelters in the toilets. Then there was the wee beasties of course being a bog there were millions of the little *********😂

Wow ! You did what took me two days in one day. Lol. I'm heading back this Sept to do it again but one day faster.

Looked a great trip, keen to do it myself one day. Would be interested in hearing more of your thoughts on the tent and seeing what mods you did.

Great video Ray. I’m with you on that one for the lightweight boots. I wear Scarpa Maverick Mid GTX and they are fantastic. The rabble (as you put it) in Tyndrum is easy compared to Portree haha.

Love to see a kit review also like to see tent mod great video as always

Hi Ray Thanks for takin me along on the Skye trail and I’m glad it worked out so it’s definitely a route I would like to do. 👍 I’ve not done much this year as weather has bees bit rubbish. Anyway ATB Ray 🍻🏕️🙏

I did the trail in 2017 and I could image that walking northbound is a good option too. Skye is fantastic but nowadays there are to many tourists. Even though I am one of them 🥴And I understand if the locals are feel annoyed from the tourists.

Good to see your back out on the trails Ray excellent video as usual mate. Could you do a video on the mods you done on the tent I'm nearly 6ft in height do you think this tent would be OK for my size cheers

Brilliant I enjoyed your video yes tourists and one day hill walkers are a pain just visit the wonderful snowdonia it’s a nightmare up places like snowdon anyway take care and thanks

Great video Ray, my partner and I always look forward to your videos, glad to see you out and uploading again! Would love a tent review and run-down of the kit you used.

I did it North to South and i have to say i think you may have a point in South to North. Also, so glad you're back making hiking videos. Your knowledge and relaxed style is just wonderful to watch and listen.

3:12 what stove is this? Looks very thought trough. What fuel do you use?

Excellent video as usual Ray, scenery superb, one day I’ll get there, may not do all the walk but I’ll manage part of it. Be lovely if you could film a full winter camp there, I bet it’s stunning in winter

Absolutely Superb Ray! So glad the weather held up for this trek having watched your battle in the previous N-S attempt. ATVB Sidestickflyer 😎

Hi and what a magic trip Loved it, I really must do a multi day trip, I just stick to the Cheviots as I don’t like the traffic or crowds !!!!!!! Keep em coming Cheers from Northumberland

Epic Journey Ray and glad you got to finish it with less rain this time :) please on the mods to tent, my wife has the same one and it will be useful, thank you.

Lovely Ray, looked a lot of fun, beautiful views, glad you, Murray and Jim had fun.

Hi Ray, well done! I did the ST last July and started off in Broadford planning to go the whole trail northwards. I had an horrendous 2nd day where I walked from Camusunary to Portree on a day where the rain was biblical, particularly on that never-ending road into Portree. I camped in the campsite in Portree and the owner there made a suggestion that perhaps I should take the bus to the Red phone box next morning and then walk back to Portree. His logic was that I'd be walking back to civilisation. In hindsight, it turned out a great decision. I wore my heavy boots, which I've always sworn by, but the wet and the amount of tarmac on those first two days tore my feet to shreds. The third day was relatively short and I camped short of the Quaraing at Loch Hasco. Since doing the trail I've bought a pair of Hoka Anacapa trail boots. I like them because they are super light but I still feel the ankle support I'm used to. Anyway great channel, even though I'm not from Scotland (Irish) and Skye was my only taste of walking abroad, so does that make me a tourist 😂 ATB George

Really enjoyed this, Ray, thanks for posting. A gear thoughts post would be interesting, definitely.

Loved it ray just scrapped through with the weather I had to abandon ship last year was biblical as well. I don't think any large tent survived on slighacan camp site . Nice walk we'll narrated .

I kid you not when I did Sgurr Na Stri last summer I got back to the Sligachan hotel the next day I did exactly what the soldier did with 4 pints 😂😂

Glad to see Ray your switch on about the war good man

Hi. First watch of your channel. A great video and well put together. Your very down to earth and real. Seems a very magical place to walk and it is on my list of walks. Thanks for the video. Enjoyed every minute of your journey.

Congratulations on the fantastic tour. We were on Sky on holiday and it was really nice, however with a car. Were you satisfied with the Sea to Summit Spark? Some say that down is not so good on wet nights, how was it for you?

I've got the Lanshan 1 plus with 4 season T door. Super tent. I fasten the inner door toggle to the outer loop to give more space inside. Take pegs to clip the doors back 👍
