Thank you. When I was planning the cape wrath hike I could find no info on how to leave the lighthouse and get home so I thought KZfaq needed a video. I'm happy if it's helpful. Cheers.

Thank you yes it really was a great adventure.

Thank you John. I thought it about time there was a video about leaving. Maybe this is the first? It was my first time in Durness. I found it friendly safe and sleepy and the camp site is great with some awesome views.

@@tubbatravels thanks for this info, planning on doing the CWT next spring and this answers one of my questions

@@richardmbarrelmaker nice one, happy it helped. Hope you have a great time on the trail.

Good luck. Don't rush it. especially in the early days don't break yourself.

@@tubbatravels Yeah, I tend towards fast and light but even then I get bonked on day three every time! It's a hard urge to overcome.

All of the cape wrath fails I've seen on yt are because they tried to do too much too soon / their packs were too heavy or the weather and rain got too much, wet gear etc. We were lucky enough to have 4 weeks to spend in Scotland so I figured even if we only do ten miles a day we will do it. if it rains so bad, we can just pitch up and wait it out and I thought long about light weight gear. We were determined to do it. Not everyone has that amount of holidays saved up. The most important thing I think is to have a positive mind. It's more of a mental thing than a physical thing. I wish you good weather, no blisters and good times on the trail.

Thanks, Tubba :)

Let me know how you get on and if you make a video I still love watching others journeys as each one is different. All the best.

It is a good leveler and makes you appreciate the small things. You have done the CWT twice?? Fair play.

I often wondered too but could not find any information so I thought I should make a little film about it. Thank you for your comments.

Hi Mac, we hope to go to Dartmoor and also hike the Skye trail next.

Thank you Bang. Yes that is a way to get back but I think maybe one would have to spend the night in KInlochbervie as well as busses are so infrequent but I don't know, there is so little information out there. That's why I thought a little film about getting to inverness might help some people. I hope Thailand is shining today.

Thank you so much Iain. You might just see us one day. I walk the stepper in the gym to prepare for a hike and do various leg weights. Protein shakes help me recover more quickly. I think you have the best chance to make it Iain, you are training and preparing well by the sound of it. I'll keep an eye out for your video. I enjoyed your skye trail.

Good info thanks.

Nice one. It makes me happy to know a video I made has helped someone. Best of luck with your trek.

That's the killer, the journey up there. The joy of pitching your tent at any time without fear of being moved on and not having to rush off in the morning, I never stop appreciating that.

The driver was really nice and funny too

You walked from Cape wrath to Durness ? Fair play. That's a cool way to do it. Next time maybe we'll walk it but the bus was too tempting and the driver was good fun.

@Tubba Travels noooo. Only from the Ferry. Thought the walk on that road would be just horrid. The bus was bad enough. I'm thinking of walking from the ferry to Cape Wrath this year around the coast line and Kervaig bothy.

@@davidalexander287 Oh I see. Are you local to the area? It's not a quick trip for us from the south coast.

@Tubba Travels I am a little bit closer than you. Lincs. At least you have hills.

@@davidalexander287 yep South downs. Not many Trees tho.

I couldn't find any info on this before leaving for the trail either so I thought you tube could do with one. Many thanks.

Thank you very much.

You are the first to comment. Thank you.
