Fine Scottish weather lads! Plus midges. the joys of highland walking.

[@andrewanderson68]

Indeed Bruce! There must be some down sides to it, just can't think of any off the top of my head... 😉Cheers -Andrew

[@MrGreen1314]

Well done. That looked really hard going.

[@Earlofmar1]

the best thing about Gerry's Hostel was when I got there, he could not fit me in because a big party was arriving soon. Disappointed I camped high up in the hills with a spectacular view and happy I dodged a bullet🤣

[@andrewanderson68]

Ha, nice one. It's impossible to leave Gerry's Hostel without a story. We phoned two days ahead and turned up right when we said we would, right to the minute. Didn't stop the owner from telling us how he was about to go out and we were lucky he was there. He had thought we were his other booked guests, said that had he known we weren't them, he wouldn't have answered! Comfy bed, though, and his other guests were top lads, so swings and roundabouts!

Thanks for sharing your trip. That trail looked cold and wet, only for tough hikers. What time at year did you walk the trail? I would only walk this in the summer. BR Jens

[@andrewanderson68]

Thanks Jens. I walked from 7-22 August. Best time to go is May, when the weather is usually ok and the midges haven't arrived yet. We just got really unlucky with the weather, by all accounts it was sunny before and after our trip. So it goes! Cheers -Andrew

[@MrGreen1314]

I live nearby so did it in stages over weekends. It was utterly magnificent! Apart from all the midges! As they said, think they just had really bad luck for August. I would recommend last 2 weeks in May. Its usually dry, warm enough and the midgies arent usually out yet.

thanks, looking forward to the next 10 days & maybe doing the Cape wrath trail race.

My god gents, the weather has not been kind to you at all! Loving watching the vlogs! 😀🥾⛰🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@andrewanderson68]

Thanks Dave! Sunshine was a rare treat, that's for sure. The locals made sure to tell us they had such a nice summer until now, didn't help! Cheers -Andrew

[@DAoutdoors]

@@andrewanderson68 Haha. I don’t know when you both did it, but we spent the last week in August walking the Highlands and didn’t see a drop of rain! Sorry!! 😉

[@andrewanderson68]

Yeah, we started on 7 August. Saw lots of beautiful blue skies on the bus back to Inverness! Glad one of us got lucky 😂
