In August 2016 I started Cape Wrath trail at Durness and headed south to Inverie. This is the video diary I kept over the 3 weeks. In the main the weather was fine. My tent got damaged in strong wind near Shiel Bridge. My journey south was interupted with a bus trip into Fort William to repair tent pole. Rather than return to Shiel Bridge to resume journey, I changed my plan and completed the section from Glenfinnian to Inverie.

The video is 3 hours long and goes into considerable detail on what its like on the Cape Wrath route. It shows the scenery to expect and problems encountered.
