Thanks for watching. It's a tough one but well worth the effort 🙂

Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it 🙂

Thanks Said ☺. It certainly does feed the soul, I hope one day you get to see some of these amazing places.

You're welcome, thanks for watching. Go for it, it's a great hike ☺👍

@@nkmk-hiking2737 Fingers crossed for next summer. 🙂

Hi Matt great to hear from you 🙂. Thanks for watching, glad it brought back some memories. Those last 8 miles from Sandwood are pretty tough going, the trail makes you work for it right until the very end 🙂. The ferry wasn't running the following day either so it meant more walking the next day.

Thank you for watching, it is a great trail, hard work but totally worth it. I hope your partner enjoys it as much as I did 🙂👍

Thanks Paul, it's a lovely part of the country. I hope I did it justice 😊

Thank you 🙂. Glad you enjoyed the videos. So many great trails out there and so little time 🙂

Hi Eddie great to hear from you ☺. Glad you enjoyed the video. Yea that alt route was great, that campsite and the morning after was amazing, one of the most memorable parts of the trail.

@@nkmk-hiking2737 your camera really does it all justice. The main route through Assynt was fantastic as well but I got hit with wind and rain on the tough day to Glendhu. Memorable, though.

@@eddiedevlin754 Yea the weather did get rough for the last couple of days. The ferry wasn't running so had to spend a night in the lighthouse, managed to get a lift to the bay the next day but had to hike around it. All part of the experience 🙂

Hi Dave thanks for watching. I will put one together and publish it in the details.

Hi Robert, Thanks for watching The only option to get back from Cape Wrath is to get a bus from across the bay to Inverness and it only runs every other day and leaves at 8am. Alternatively, if you can get a few hikers together you can get a mini bus taxi. From Inverness you can get a bus, plane or train anywhere. If you have to stay overnight in Inverness I can recommend the youth hostel. In regard to supplies the first part is probably the worst, you will need to carry a good few days but after then its ok. Here is where I resupplied. Cafe in Glenfinnan but only does burgers and chips Shiel Bridge - Kintail Lodge has pub restaurant and small shop (wee bun house). although it is closed in the afternoons Kintail crafts in Morvich is a great little shop that is well stocked, sandwiches, pies, noodles, pasta snacks etc Kinlochewe has everything you need. Cafe, shop, and post office that also sells gas. Also a great pub/restaurant but you will need to book as it is on the NC500 so gets busy. Ullapool has a good sized tesco, chip shop and pub restaurants London stores near Rhiconich is a well stocked shop, there is also a Spar in Kinlochbervie. So unless you have a specific dietary requirement once you get to Shiel Bridge it is possible to resupply every few days. Good Luck with your Hike. Take something for the Ticks, its infested.

Hi Bruce, glad you enjoyed the video. There are very few high tricky bits on the CWT. Only 2 that I can remember that require a little scrambling, as you say, the Falls of Glomach, which actually isn't that bad and The Bealach Coire Mhalagain, between Kinloch Hourn and Shiel Bridge, which I think at 820m is the highest point of the trail, there had been a rock slide just past the top of the bealach which took a bit of scrambling to get over. Neither of those are too bad but there are alternative routes if you are not sure on heights. Get the Harvey Maps of the trail, they show all the alternative routes and are probably the best maps for the trail, showing it all in just 2 maps at 1:40000 scale. It's a great trail, tough but well worth the effort.

Thanks Colin 🙂 glad you enjoyed it. Hope you have recovered from the walk and settled back in to normal life, my legs really seized up over the weekend.

@@nkmk-hiking2737 I was.pretty tired but been doing a few short 5 mile walks just to keep moving. Loved reliving it through the video. I'm still buzzing. Wish I'd taken longer now!

Yea i know what you mean, it was great reliving it as I put the video together, brought it all back ☺.

Good to see you made it as well, Colin. I saw yours and Ted's bothy entries a couple of times. Thought I'd see you again after Oykel Bridge but you must have really motored. Hope all is well.

@@eddiedevlin754 I did push on a bit. Had a couple of days when I didnt see a soul, and just kept walking! Then the weather turned and so I finished just after Nick and met him at the Cape. Wished I'd slowed down and taken a few extra days afterwards. Great to meet you, it was an epic trip!

Thanks daz ☺👍

Thank you 🙂. Glad you enjoyed it. It is a fantastic experience but a pretty tough trail. However, if you have some trail experience, no reason why you shouldn't give it a go. Just keep your pack light and your daily distances realistic 👍🏻

@@nkmk-hiking2737 thanks, I’ve done the Coast to Coast and Pennine Way so far plus a few others so I’ll see if I can work my way up!

Sounds like you are almost there already 🙂

Yea, for breakfast I have oats mixed with powdered milk and I crumble in some sort on energy bar that has nuts or oats to add a little sweetness and I also add peanut butter to boost up the calories. During the day I will have a couple of energy bars, trail mix and some pitta bread or tortilla with cheese and salami or other cooked meat. Evening meal would be usually knorr pasta packets, I would add a little extra pasta some more salami and maybe a cupasoup. Supp,imenting it with a decent meal when i could get one ☺. The availability of resupply determines how many days I would carry, the first 5 days of the trail is the part without much resupply, after then it gets better. If you look through the comments I have listed the places where you can resupply. It's a great trail if you like a challenge.

Thank you and thanks for watching. The pack was 45 ltr. I believe that keeping your pack as light as possible is very important on a long tough hike and having a smaller pack volume makes me focus on only taking the gear that I need and not filling a larger pack up with what I won't use. Of course knowing what you need and what you don't need, without sacrificing on safety or comfort comes with experience 🙂. To answer your questions, no sorry don't have a gear list, but if you have any specific questions on what I took with me just ask, and yes I carried a pair of shorts, a pair of hiking trousers and some leggings. The total base weight of my pack, without food or water was around 7Kg.

Hi Jack, There is plenty of available water, I carried an 850ml smart water bottle for use through the day and filled it as I needed it, there are streams everywhere. I did carry a collapsible platypus bottle for extra if I needed it which was useful in the evenings when camping. I filtered my water if it was from a lowland source but didn't bother if it was straight off the hills. I didn't send a resupply parcel, I carried the first 5 days then resupplied on route. Here is where Cafe in Glenfinnan but only does burgers and chips Shiel Bridge - Kintail Lodge has pub restaurant and small shop (wee bun house). although it is closed in the afternoons Kintail crafts in Morvich is a great little shop that is well stocked, sandwiches, pies, noodles, pasta snacks etc Kinlochewe has everything you need.

@@nkmk-hiking2737 thanks for taking the time to answer. I was considering carrying 4.5 litres of water because it is summer now but ill reduce that to 3.2. Where 0.5 litre will just be for drinking dissolved electrolytes. I bought a dehydration unit last week and dehydrating meals 24hrs a day. It some how works out to be cheaper than buying dehydrated meals. It could turn out to be a disaster or major success. Ill reply below once I've finished the trail to say if the meals worked out.

@@jackmanson8919 OK good luck and enjoy it, it is tough but a great trail. Take something to keep the ticks away there are millions of them up there 👍

Thanks. no problem with the questions. Yes I did have a drone, a mavic mini, and yes resupply is possible, the first part of the trail is probably the worst for resupply so you will need to carry a good few days but after then its ok. Here is a list of the places I found you can eat and/or resupply.. Cafe in Glenfinnan but only does burgers and chips. Shiel Bridge - Kintail Lodge has pub restaurant and small shop (wee bun house). although it is closed in the afternoons. Kintail crafts in Morvich is a great little shop that is well stocked, sandwiches, pies, noodles, pasta snacks etc Kinlochewe has everything you need. Cafe, shop, and post office that also sells gas. Also a great pub/restaurant but you will need to book as it is on the NC500 so gets busy. Ullapool has a good sized tesco supermarket, chip shop and plenty of pubs and restaurants London stores near Rhiconich is a well stocked shop, there is also a Spar in Kinlochbervie. So unless you have a specific dietary requirement once you get to Shiel Bridge it is possible to resupply every few days. Food weight, probably around 1kg per day. I try to eat 3500 calories each day of hiking. I usually aim for around 20 miles/30 km each day, sometime a little more or a little less. Distance usually depends on the good camping locations and resupply.

Hi Yan, I started end of April into May. That time of year it is a bit of a gamble with the weather but it avoids the midges which start around end of May.

@@nkmk-hiking2737 Allright. Thanx Nick. Have more nice walks!

@@nonofied Thanks 👍. Enjoy the Cape Wrath trail, it's a great walk.

I started end of April around 27th I think and into May. I think May is a good Month to walk in Scotland, before midge season starts. Just be aware that the Cape Wrath ferry doesn't usually start operating until into May, which was why I chose to go South to North

@@nkmk-hiking2737 thanks 👍

It was a bit tricky to get back. There was very strong winds when i finished so the ferry wasn't running for a few days. I stayed overnight at the lighthouse, there is a bunk room, it was about £30 for the night including a basic meal. The mini bus came and picked up a group of us the following day and took us from the lighthouse to the ferry point, it's then about a 6 mile hike around the cove. We then all got a minibus taxi to Inverness, about £25 each. I stayed overnight at the youth hostel in Inverness and caught the train home. There is a bus that runs to Inverness but it is only a few times per week and leaves at 0800.

Thanks 👍

@@nkmk-hiking2737 just done it myself...the weather was wet mostly but it was epic. Sourlies to shiel bridge in 1 day was probably the toughest part.

Most of it was filmed on my old GoPro hero 7 Black, but I also used a Sony RX100 5A

@@nkmk-hiking2737 Have you tried Skye Trail, if not i highly recommend it

@@BlueDragon00 Thanks for the recommendation 👍. I will check it out

@@nkmk-hiking2737 I Did it this summer, so if you have any questions hit me up
