The Cape Wrath Trail is often referred to as Britain’s toughest long-distance hiking trail. For my trip I had decided to hike the trail in reverse setting off from the Cape Wrath Lighthouse and finishing at Fort William. My decision to use 'INNOV8 345 GTX' mid style boots as my backpacking footwear of choice proved to be a bad one. Several days of wet feet and the relentless and rugged terrain started to take there toll on my heals. Severe blisters gave me constant pain that would start affecting my pace along with the distance I needed to cover each day. Due to the varied and wet conditions I would recommend that you choose your backpacking footwear wisely. The correct choice of hiking boots or shoes will have a significant impact on your ability to complete the challenge, at least pain free. As you will see in an upcoming future films due to my bad footwear choice, things started to unravel quickly and ended my trip much quicker than I had ever expected. I plan to discuss in future videos what trail gear worked and what didn't work so well.

Backpacking & wild camping in Scotland around the stunning White Mounth Munros & Lochnagar. Learning the art of outdoor filmmaking and beginner to landscape photography. Using the medium of digital to capture my experiences visiting and exploring Scotland and the Scottish mountains. - Full description below. My route started from Spittal of Glen Muick carpark just outside Ballater. The route from Ballter to the car park at the head of Glen Muick is beautiful but nothing compare to the impressive cliffs of Lochnagar It was great to summit so many Munros in a single outing, however Lochnagar is by far the finest of the summits and with the fairly good weather it was a hugely enjoyable walk. All the way round there was fantastic views with an amazing feeling of space and remoteness. It was sad to see the wreckage of the RAF Canberra Bomber that had come down on the mountain, but is just one of many that have crashed in the Scottish mountains over the years. Remember that this is fairly long and exposed mountain route and in good conditions the stony tundra-like terrain makes for easy going. There are just a few steep boulder fields on the ascent to the top of a couple of the Munros such as Lochnagar. The trip should not be taken lightly especially in bad weather and good navigation skills and equipment is essential as the weather changes fast and frequently. With very little navigation points in low cloud and mist it would be very easy to become disoriented. Note that there are steep cliff drops and around the route to the top of Lochnagar itself. After visiting the summit of Lochnagar I branched off the normal route back to the carpark and followed the excellent path that goes all the way down to the back of the Queens Lodge (Glas-allt-Shiel) where I camped for the night. This meant it was an easy flat walk of about 4-5 miles back to the carpark in the morning. Camping was a chore due to the infamous Scottish Midges taking there half pint of blood from me and meant I had to retreat to the Bothy behind the Queens Lodge to have my supper in piece. Still had a good night’s sleep and was up early at about 6am to pack and head back. Another great little trip that I would like to do again, this time during the winter!
