Cape Wrath Trail Guide - Section Three - Glendessarry to Barrisdale

2 жыл бұрын

The third section of the Cape Wrath Trail takes walkers deep into the gloriously remote rough bounds of Knoydart, passing A'chuil Bothy in Glendessarry, before heading towards Loch Nevis. Passing Sourlies Bothy which is nestled at the foot of Sgurr na Ciche, the trail then heads north skirting Knoydart to finish Barrisdale where there is a campsite and estate-owned bothy.

Hello Iain. Wow. These are excellent guide videos for anyone thinking about doing the CWT. Great, informative detail and at about 20mins, this was an ideal length. Some super photos and footage. Keep 'em coming if you can. Rgds, Wadirunner.

Fantastic video, well done. Loving the drone footage. Really nice to see some of the wider surroundings. 👍

By some way the most useful series of videos I've watched as part of my preparation for CWT sometime in Spring. The effort you are putting into them is worth it - making them both informative and beautiful. I agree with comments regarding where are the possible parcel-drop, resupply and/or restaurants along the way. This is information less easy to glean from just looking at a map.

Thanks for the video. A friend and I did the CWT this September, following your guide, and I agree that this section is where the first real sense of wilderness creeps in. We'd hoped to stay in Sourlies but it was fairly full so we pressed on - getting utterly sodden in the marsh flats and then midged alive at our camp spot by the Carnach - a true CWT moment :) (I later heard that following the bank of the river up to the bridge is the best strategy for avoiding those Dead Marshes)

Sounds familiar Peter, I've been up to almost the waist in one of those bogs (maybe my memory is exaggerating but I remember it being a bad one!) Thanks for watching. Iain

Only 2 weeks away from the cape wrath start. After much prep and training I am as prepared as I could ever be. I just want to thank you very much as your videos on the trail are excellent. I'm so much more confident about my hike after watching your channel. Your guide book is handy too..bit heavy though lol. I've photographed the pages to reduce my pack weight. Happy hiking and a big thank you.

Excellent and extremely useful; thanks! I loved the great shots from the drone :-) Keep these coming! (perhaps less of the background mood music, or use recordings of the environment sounds instead, for authentic atmosphere?)

Thanks - ha, yes absolutely :-) good idea re the environment sounds
