solo hiking the Skye Trail | i had to quit halfway through

As soon as I completed the Tour du Mont Blanc last year, I knew I had to start planning another long distance backpacking trip. The Skye Trail, which is located on the Isle of Skye in Scotland, seemed to be the perfect next solo adventure.

There were many challenges during the first few days of my hike, including one of the wildest windstorms (certainly the wildest I'd experienced from inside my tent), but the epic landscapes, kind strangers, and adorable baby lambs easily made up for it.

While celebrating reaching the halfway point in Portree, I developed food poisoning and ultimately decided not to continue the remainder of the hike. I was devastated, especially because this is considered the most inspiring portion of the trek.

Thank you for watching! I'm sorry I wasn't able to capture the full 80 miles of trail to share, but I hope to return someday to complete the route. There may yet be a part 2.
