Cape Wrath Trail 2024 - Glendhu to Gorm Loch Mor - Day 5

In August 2023 I walked the Cape Wrath Trail for the first time from Fort William to Cape Wrath. This May I found myself back in Scotland to attend my Uncle's 80th birthday in Inverness. So I thought I'd walk it for the second time in 9 months, this time walking from North to South and taking different routes than the last time.
So join me as I attempt to complete the North South route just before I turn 66..and it sure is a tougher route going South for sure!

Hi Ian Wow after the boulder field I was in heaven the views !!!! Cheers Adrian

Hi Iain. Superb again mate, you have certainly looked out with the weather so far. I do think Assynt is the most spectacular part of the trail. I know most people say Knoydart, but in my humble onion Assynt is mega. All the best mate.

Thanks Dave! I'm in agreement. The section from Rhiconich to Ben More lodge is stunning. And I lucked out with the weather for sure, a bit like you did on your Snowdonia walk!

Hi iain. Omg that boulder field just after glendhu, thats tough going. Where was all the ferns and the tics? Such wonderful views from up high there on the way to glencoul. Lovely singing, thats the tune to an old scouts song, we'll do the hailing, when all the ships are outa sailing. Great to hear that melody again. Interesting to see the way to loch gorm. Ive heard its really tough in the rain so youre doing well with the weather. What a white out, uff. Fantastic camp spot, you did the right thing staying there. Great episode.

Yeah that hike was pretty brutal that day.. especially on the hike up from Glencoul bothy and when that mist rolled in I was getting anxious for sure. Glad it happened when it did because the peat hags I just came through really was like Gollum guiding Frodo through the swamps in Lord of the Rings. That section would be hellish in the rain!
