Five years in the writing and researching, I'm delighted to announce that the new Cape Wrath Trail Guide has landed on the doormat and is finally available to purchase. It's the first major update to the route in nearly 15 years and has been a real labour of love.
After what feels like a very long winter, we're starting to see the first photos from a few hardy souls tackling the Cape Wrath Trail.
The long awaited Scottish National Trail (SNT) has launched, offering walkers a route from one end of Scotland to the other.
Access to Cape Wrath, the final calling point for the Cape Wrath Trail has been thrown into doubt by recent reports that the MOD is in negotiations to buy the land.

Although equipment choice is intensely personal, it's always good to know what other people use and I've picked up some excellent tips over the years from fellow walkers that I'd otherwise have missed.
