"Postcard from Cape Wrath"

Yes I'm back from a fantastic walk from Ullapool to Cape Wrath in this recent sunny May weather. Lee and I started out in miserable rain for a couple of days, and then it all began to get better. Wonderful warm days, fantastic views, great camping locations and very few bugs. Scotland at it's best!

The landscape was dramatic and the sense of isolation very strong in places. We didn't see any shops from Ullapool to Kinlochbervie, which you need to take into account if this route appeals.

We had some long 30 k days and without doubt that hardest was the final leg to Cape Wrath from Sandwood Bay. Even in good weather it took almost 5 hours, which would be much longer when wet.

However, it was everything we hoped it would be and Sandwood Bay was magical haven of peace, and, the most perfect camping spot we've ever had the fortune to visit. Of course there's a few podcasts to come soon regarding the trip which hopefully will inspire you to visit this fantastic area of the UK.
