Hi all,
Thank you for this amazingly useful website. Here's a Scotland newbie from The Netherlands, who is already having lots of fun preparing for our hiking and wild camping trip. I'm looking for some advice. I learned I did not choose the best time of the year (July), but here we go...
Which walks or areas would you recommend using a wheelie / hiking trailer, preferably from Fort William (as we will arrive there by Caledonian Sleeper although we could take another train/bus)? This means we won't be doing any serious climbs (maybe day hikes leaving tent and wheelie behind), and at the same time we do love wild and rough nature, so we're not looking for perfect paths only. Something in between. Some stairs are OK, just not too steep ones. I'm a little worried about the bogginess. (And the midges, but I guess they are unavoidable.)
We have about 10 days and are thinking of doing the first part of the Cape Wrath Trail and then continue to the Affric Kintrail Way and then finish in Inverness. What do you think? I hope you can advise or share any other recommended walks. Thanks so much in advance!
