Took quite some time to edit all the actioncam and drone shots, but the result is hopefully worth the while: AMONG LOCHS AND GLENS: Hiking the epic Cape Wrath Trail.
In the summer of 2020, us three friends decided to hike the epic Cape Wrath Trail in Scotland.
The Cape Wrath Trail is a 380km long trail with 13.000m of altitude gain. It starts in Fort William and ends at Cape Wrath: Great Britain’s most north-westerly point. It passes through almost no villages and the most remote parts of Scotland. It is not an official long distance trail, not waymarked and frequently pathless forcing you to navigate cross-country through the rough, wet, bogged terrain. It is considered by many to be UK’s most difficult long distance trail due to the navigational skills needed, the extreme rough terrain and the potential harsh weather.
Share your personal walking route experiences in Scotland, and comment on other peoples' reports.
Warning
Please note that hillwalking when there is snow lying requires an ice-axe, crampons and the knowledge, experience and skill to use them correctly. Summer routes may not be viable or appropriate in winter. See winter information on our skills and safety pages for more information.

Understatement of the year has to be:...“Damp – isn’t that a bit of an understatement ? “....“Very damp then”
Fantastic achievement - well done all three of you
Can well understand why you described it as...Challenging, unforgettable and epic - cheers 
Fantastic achievement - well done all three of you
