We returned to Fort William and joined the parade of hikers climbing Ben Nevis

The next day we left for Glenfinnan to start the unmarked Cape Wrath Trail. Initially we were aiming for Strathcarron and mailed out spare gear there. The going was tough with very long days so we ended at Shiel Bridge. The route was spectacular and took us past Loch Nevis and along Loch Hourne. After we decided to stop, I did an to and back hike to the Falls of Glomach.











After the backpack, we headed to Strathcarron via Kyle of Lochalsh for a chill day on a boat and waling around. Then the hamlet of Strathcarron to collect our gear and spend the night.



The biggest freakin surprise was the weather. The Western highlands in particular are known are known for rain. We packed for rain and had 2 weeks of near complete dry weather. The bogs did not disappoint, but my knee high gators kept me dry.
