Lockdown has given me the opportunity to start working on a long-postponed project, a new YouTube channel.
Choice of maps is a particularly important decision when planning an expedition on the Cape Wrath Trail. This is because the difficulty of the terrain and the lack of way marking (or even defined paths in many places).
I think its fair to say that keeping your feet in good order is THE most important aspect of any long distance backpack. I know from personal experience having endured days of agony on long treks.
As a keen ultra runner, I read about the recent launch of the Cape Wrath Trail ultra marathon with great interest.
It's been nearly six months since the guide was published and I've been overwhelmed by the response from Cape Wrath Trailers around the world.
Five years in the writing and researching, I'm delighted to announce that the new Cape Wrath Trail Guide has landed on the doormat and is finally available to purchase. It's the first major update to the route in nearly 15 years and has been a real labour of love.
After what feels like a very long winter, we're starting to see the first photos from a few hardy souls tackling the Cape Wrath Trail.
