  • The Skye Trail on the Isle of Skye, Scotland has to be one of the best trails in the world! Starting at the northern most tip of the worlds most beautiful Island (I may be biased ;)) we set out to trek the length of the Island and hope to finish at the southern most tip - top to tail, however the trail had a few surprises in store as we made our way south.
    NB - I discovered when I got back my microphone had failed to record on the last day so apologies about some of the latter sound....

      I try and not have any ads in the middle of videos but I know CZcams have started placing ads in videos themselves which can be irritating! some of my older videos never had any and in the last year YT have added loads without me knowing - a bit frustrating (especially for the viewers!!)

      @@ScotlandsMountains Thank you for your reply Murray. I've heard from other people who's videos have had adverts added to them and they are as unhappy about it as you are! One person had not monetized his channel deliberately but CZcams told him he had to, and if he didn't they would add them anyway! Thank you for all of your efforts. Your videos lift the spirits of those who can't get to where you go and those who have been and are reminded of these magnificent locations. The one you did above the clouds of the inversion was special.

    What a great couple of films. Brought back many memories for me. In 2001 (year of Foot & mouth epidemic), I did South to North, starting at Armadale, roughly following David Paterson's "Long Walk in Skye" route with some variations of my own. (I noticed his book on your desk). I went across Sleat from Ardvasar to Dalavil then followed coast round Loch Eishort and Slapin, over to Camasunary and up Glen Sligachan with cutoff to Loch Coruisk. Along Loch Sligachan to Portree. Never made Trotternish Ridge so was great to see your film, which confirmed that would not have had enough days left. A trip never forgotten. Thanks for all your efforts in making this film.

    • @ScotlandsMountains
      @ScotlandsMountains  Před 2 lety +1

      Thanks Don, it was indeed "a long walk on the isle of skye" by David Paterson - I was meaning to mention it when I did the bit to camera , but forgot - so well noticed! Such a lovely book. The one one thing that beat us was the underfoot conditions on the Sleat peninsula - maybe one day I'll go back and try again :)

    The second episode as good, if not better, than the first. It brought back many memories of days walking on Skye. You had superb weather which made me quite jealous but you also had the midge which made me less so. And, no, you aren't imagining anything when you say you can hear the blighters landing on the tent. Horrible knowing they are out there! I now have a midge net for my head which has proved its worth on Skye a few times.
    These videos have made me very "holiday-sick" for the island (I can't wait to visit again) and for that I say a hearty thank you.
    Brilliant film, great to watch and thanks for having the skills and patience to film and edit your adventures. My household thoroughly enjoy watching them all.

    Who needs the Fairy Pools when you have the turquoise shallows of Loch Coruisk? This hike is definitely going on my bucket list. I loved the photography, especially the footage of the Bad Step near Loch Coruisk - it was good to be able to see the type of terrain clearly, without fish-eye lens distortion. Also very important advice about the backpack. I once took a spectacular tumble on the Rum Cuillin due to overbalancing while wearing a badly-fitting backpack, not a mistake I'll ever make again! Miraculously I got away without any injuries.

    Watched both videos. Truly outstanding, I agree Skye is a magical island. Recalled many past adventures. The effort required to complete this adventure is only exceeded by the effort to put together the two wonderful films.

    Congrats on conquering the “Eyless Guy” 😎 (not my title, but one from your subtitles 🤣)
    Seriously though, what a fantastic journey. I’m jealous of the weather you had, as it was absolutely socked in and rainy when I was there!

    • @ScotlandsMountains
      @ScotlandsMountains  Před 2 lety

      It can rain for months at a time on The Isle of Skye !! we were so lucky with the weather for the hike - what a great experience we had - hope to get back in 2022!:)

    Just finished watching this second part of your Skye Trail walk and what a fantastic pair of videos they are. My husband and I are heading up to the Isle of Skye next weekend for a holiday and we're really looking forward to it. These videos have made us even more excited for our trip up there and given us some great inspiration for places to visit.

    Murray, you are half right and half wrong! In the Northern Hemisphere Skye is certainly my most beautiful Island. I've been there many times and traversed the full ridge. But South of the Equator lies the South Island of New Zealand. I've spent many months in Scotland, and the Cuillin are gloriously special. Skye was a wonder (before the bridge, especially). You need to spend a bit of time on the South Island of New Zealand, a place I came to nearly 35 years ago. Scotland on steriods as they say.... You would love it! :)
