Thanks so much - indeed it was, the toughest weather always makes for the best memories

Hi everyone I wanted to post an update on a CWT section. We walked the CWT in 2020 and you can find my post in this forum (we coined it the Cape Rough Trail :D ). This year we walked the alternative section to the popular Oykel Bridge - Inchnadamph Route. This was North to South from Glendhu Bothy a...

Hi everyone, on 7 & 8 May we walked from Oykel Bridge via the Schoolhouse Bothy to Seana Bhràigh , and then descended via a loop (with dramatic views over Glen Douchary ) to Inverlael. Day 1 - We arrive at Oykel Bridge after walking from Glencoul via Gorm Loch Mor to Benmore Forest (the alternat...

Hi everyone September saw us venture back to the Artic Circle, where we had previously completed the King's Trail in June. Follow my husband 800 km across Sweden, Norway and Finland as he's racing Northbound against the Arctic Winter that's coming his way. Chapter 1: Takes him from Kvikkjokk into Pa...

Wow, what an adventure. That's a long way to go. It must have been a challenge to lug all your gear in that heat! The landscapes look wonderful. Would love to do some Scandinavian hiking and scrambling myself one day. Thanks so much for the feedback - we much look forward to going back next year. A...

Hi everyone, Antonio walked the Affric Kintail way (as an add-on to the West Highland Way). If you're interested to see what he saw, see here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T2WA2HqZwjg&t=1125s For being such a lovely hike it is so much less well-known than the WHW. Hope you like it ! atb, Carol...

A cracking read. That's a seriously long walk! But good (?) to hear that the Swedish mozzis can't match the Scottish midges :lol: . Interesting that you identify the first class hiking infrastructure as a big positive. I'm sure some folk would agree, whereas others wouldn't, seeking the absolute mi...

Hi there, I use the Sportiva Akashas and love them (lightweight and cushy) but they run very small, so I am usally a EUR 38 and had to order a EUR 39.5 in Sportiva (!). Last year, I used the ;Salomon Women's Trail Running Shoes, XA PRO 3D ' on the Cape Wrath Trail. They served me very well - they ar...

Fantastic, an excellent write up of an excellent adventure. Having been to a few bits of Sweden and Norway, this area has always appealed. I particularly want to get to Rapadalen one day, though doubt I'll ever commit to as long a walk as yourselves. Great stuff. :clap: The huts and "windshelt...

Superb report and nice video as well. I would be tempted to go earlier in the year when there's more snow (with skis or snowshoes) and less insects, but I guess the huts are not open? Hello, thanks for the feedback ! There is indeed also a winter season, which I believe is usually around mid March ...

This year, we hiked the Kungsleden Trail in Swedish Lapland – a 440 km hike across northern Sweden that takes you from Abisko in the very north of Sweden all the way down to Hemavan, most of it within the Arctic Circle. Upsides  Top notch hiking infrastructure  Experience the ‘midnight sun’  Magn...

My husband put together this Cape Wrath Trail Guide based on the stages in this Walk Scottish Highlands description, which has served us so well and is simply excellent. We hope this is useful for any hiker who would like to follow the Cape Wrath Trail ! We will attempt to walk it North to South thi...

I see you love hiking in Finland - initially our plan was to do the Kalottireitti but we then shifted gears because of uncertainties around travel restrictions. I hope to have a blog on that one next year ! I eventually managed to get to write up my adventures on the Karhunkierros in Finland, maybe...

Thanks so much for writing this one down - it has been on my list for ages ! I love the hiking infrastructure in Finland (the huts and fireplaces look awesome !)
