Can My Ultralight Shelter Survive the Skye Trail? | Part 2

Skye Trail Part 2 continues from Portree on the Isle of Skye, Scotland, as we take on one of the longest and most rewarding days of the whole route. This Skye Trail series is sponsored by Sprayway, who kindly supported the journey and provided gear used throughout the trail. In this episode, we leave Portree and hike around 35km through wild and dramatic Skye landscapes, pushing beyond the official Skye Trail route to reach an unforgettable wild camp spot below Sgùrr na Strì. This was one of the hardest days of the journey, with big miles, tired legs, remote terrain, and a final push that wasn’t even part of the official route. But when we finally reached camp and the sunset lit up the Cuillin mountains, it became one of the most unbelievable wild camping experiences I’ve ever had. This is Skye Trail Day 3 — Portree to beneath Sgùrr na Strì. Was leaving the trail worth it for this view? I think you’ll know the answer. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ SPONSORED BY SPRAYWAY Sprayway supported this Skye Trail series and provided gear used throughout the route.
