Cape Wrath Trail Walk

By wildwalkingukPosted on 5th June 202229th July 2022
  • Scotland

This is a post about our Cape Wrath Trail walk in April 2022, wild camping every night. We started in Fort William with the ferry and finished in Kinlochleven after walking off the peninsular from the Cape Wrath light house, because the mini bus and ferry were not running.

Possible additions to the West Highland Way

Possible additions to the West Highland Way. If you would like to add more variety and a few more miles to the West Highland Way, there are two very good options. Both would make a nice two-week long holiday.

Great Glen Way

By wildwalkingukPosted on 8th June 201914th January 2022
  • Long-distance walks
  • Scotland

I walked the Great Glen Way as part of my 1,200 mile Lands End to John O’Groats and 3 peaks walk. I had low expectations because, whilst walking the West Highland Way, I had met a couple who had walked the Great Glen Way a few years previously. They thought it was dull with too much time in trees and no views. I’m guessing they walked the low route.
