4 season backpacking

I was walking Windmill hill near Tysoe when lightening struck sending me back in time a day before First English Civil War. From Windmill hill i will have a fantastic view of Battle of Edgehill where 500 Royalists will die and 500 Parliamentarians die on Sunday, 23 October 1642. I will have a front row seat from the relative safety of windmill hill. Come with me on a Civil War wild camp. The haunting of Edgehill Battlefield is one of the most famous hauntings in the entire of The British Isles. A area full of Puritans and witchcraft at the time. The windmill sits on the 180m high Windmill Hill.  Built in the early 18th century.  The windmill still contains all its machinery. The mill operated until 1915 when it was struck by lightening. From here back in time i would have seen Red Horse of Tysoe a hill figure cut into the red clay below the escarpment of Edgehill. The figure was first recorded in 1607. Various dates have been suggested for its creation, ranging from the...

Filmed on the 31/05/2017 since then my video skills and equipment has improved alot :) Coast path with truly magnificent views across the waters of Loch Scavaig to the Cuillin - often reckoned to be the finest coastal view in the British Isles. There is a short rocky section above a steep drop, and after a couple of kilometres the path passes above another steep cliff, at times perilously close to the edge. Take great care on this section as walkers have fallen here.

Last night i wild camped at Sugar Loaf mountain. Sugar Loaf mountain is 596 metres above sea level. It is a popular misconception that Sugar Loaf is an extinct volcano. I woke up to a sunrise over  the Skirrid, or the ‘Holy Mountain’ legend is a dramatic landslide on the north of the mountain was caused by a earthquake or a lightning strike at the moment Christ was crucified. There was a local tradition that earth from the Skirrid was holy and especially fertile, and it was taken away to be scattered on fields elsewhere, on coffins, and in the foundations of churches.  Rudolf Hess used to walk here when he was held prisoner at nearby Maindiff Court during the early 1940s. So today was going home day had not much of a choice and it had been a good 4 days including today which will be spent getting back to abergavenny train station. On the way i took a quick look at Abergavenny Castle. established by the Norman lord Hamelin de Balun in about 1087. It was the site of a m...

I had what may have been a tick bite and with all the hysteria over Lyme Disease when it is low risk i have had my back covered in them in 2014 and just scratched them of and that was in a red deer area with long grass by a river in North East Scotland while on the End to End trail John o' groats to lands end. Again only a month or so ago i had a tick in the private parts only realised after it being there for few hours i would think managed to remove it in bits i did clean it well this time it did go a bit red but nothing to worry about. I still feel ok. I wounder how many people think they got Lyme Disease when its just a cold or normal pains and i guess they do a blood test i no idea? Because seems a alarming amount of people seem catch Lyme Disease and i have not and i spend alot time in tick areas i even had a tick in the tent i was so tired could even be bothered to remove it from the tent lol.  I even spoke people who know people who died from it so for some its serious ...

Filmed on the 31/05/2017 since then my video skills and equipment has improved alot :) Skye Trail follows remote Glen Sligachan to the beautiful bay at Camasunary where there is an MBA bothy. From here a vertiginous cliff path with fantastic views across the water to the Cuillin reaches. Stage 5 does go all way to Elgol but i decided to wild camp at Glen Scaladal bay just before Elgol. Pass Sligachan Hotel. cross the Dunvegan road and the old stone bridge, built by Thomas Telford and take the path up Glen Sligachan. You will pass Loch an Athain on the right and then the much large Loch na Creitheach. At Camasunary there is a bothy unforgettably there was a alcoholic there who thought he owned the place i was not going stay there anyway had enough of bothies now there retirement homes for alcoholics. After the bothy its on the coast path with truly magnificent views across the waters of Loch Scavaig to the Cuillin - often reckoned to be the finest coastal view in the British Isles...

Filmed on the 29/05/2017 since then my video skills and equipment has improved alot :) I started of above the Storr but the official start this hike is at the Storr carpark. From the cardpark there is a short walk along the  A855. Then its a walk across a bridge at hydro-electric power pipes. Not long after that you go across soggy moorland until you reach  edge of the escarpment with views of the sea. Walk along there until you descend Ben Tianavaig, Braes. Ben Tianavaig, Braes is steep.

Filmed on the 28/05/2017 since then my video skills and equipment has improved alot :) Trotternish is one of the most spectacular landscapes in Britain. The great ridge which forms its backbone is the longest on Skye, and its unique eastern escarpment has been broken by Europe's largest landslides into a remarkable landscape. A very long and challenging walk with much ascent and descent. There are some very steep parts up and down i managed it with a big backpack. You need a good level of fitness and know how to use a map or gps. Is possible to camp up on the ridge but its very exposed make sure you there no storms predicted. This part my Skye trail hike. I did this stage in one go. This stage is hard going if doing in one go with a backpack.
