Wow! I´ve watched a lot of CWT-Videos already, but none of them has the quality and almost perfection of your edit. Thank you very much for that gem. And greetings from Bavaria
What a beautiful film. The landscape, the walk across it, and the skill to weave your recording of it with the perfect soundtrack. Well done, and thank you for sharing your experience
Excellent video, really demonstrates the trail in its full glory. Thanks for sharing and I’ll definitely use it to guide my day to day planning for the trail. Many thanks.
Well Done Nick for the video coverage at the same time as taking on quite a mammoth challenge. It was nice to meet you and share part of the trail just after The Falls of Glomach. One day I need to get back to do those last 8 miles but in the meantime I’m happy looking through my pics and your video to remind me what wonderful weather we enjoyed. Thanks again Matt.
Hi Matt great to hear from you 🙂. Thanks for watching, glad it brought back some memories. Those last 8 miles from Sandwood are pretty tough going, the trail makes you work for it right until the very end 🙂. The ferry wasn't running the following day either so it meant more walking the next day.
Hi Nick, very glad I just stumbled across this video. It's a perfect combination of beautiful footage and really useful information in a concise package. On top of that your responses to the many questions below are also really useful. I am planning to be on the trail this year at exact time you were there in 2022 and this has definitely contributed to help my planning.
Hi Nick welcome back and i hope you are well. As usual amazing editing and spectacular sceneries. These places feed the soul, I would love to go to these extraordinary places. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks Colin 🙂 glad you enjoyed it. Hope you have recovered from the walk and settled back in to normal life, my legs really seized up over the weekend.
@@nkmk-hiking2737 I was.pretty tired but been doing a few short 5 mile walks just to keep moving. Loved reliving it through the video. I'm still buzzing. Wish I'd taken longer now!
Good to see you made it as well, Colin. I saw yours and Ted's bothy entries a couple of times. Thought I'd see you again after Oykel Bridge but you must have really motored. Hope all is well.
@@eddiedevlin754 I did push on a bit. Had a couple of days when I didnt see a soul, and just kept walking! Then the weather turned and so I finished just after Nick and met him at the Cape. Wished I'd slowed down and taken a few extra days afterwards. Great to meet you, it was an epic trip!
Brilliant little video. My partner is doing the trail right now unfortunately I am unable to do it with him at this time, but it was great watching your video as I follow him on the map from his Garman in reach locations! Thanks for sharing it looks amazing. I have a bad case of FOMO rightnow.
Great video, Nick. Really enjoyed reliving the trail. We got some great weather. Didn't see your name in the book at the Ozone but figured you made it a few days before me. The alt route in Assynt looked good, with a brilliant camp.
Hi Eddie great to hear from you ☺. Glad you enjoyed the video. Yea that alt route was great, that campsite and the morning after was amazing, one of the most memorable parts of the trail.
@@nkmk-hiking2737 your camera really does it all justice. The main route through Assynt was fantastic as well but I got hit with wind and rain on the tough day to Glendhu. Memorable, though.
@@eddiedevlin754 Yea the weather did get rough for the last couple of days. The ferry wasn't running so had to spend a night in the lighthouse, managed to get a lift to the bay the next day but had to hike around it. All part of the experience 🙂
Lovely video, this is on my list for next year. On your loadout you don't have food. Do you remember what food you took, I am constantly taking too much
Yea, for breakfast I have oats mixed with powdered milk and I crumble in some sort on energy bar that has nuts or oats to add a little sweetness and I also add peanut butter to boost up the calories. During the day I will have a couple of energy bars, trail mix and some pitta bread or tortilla with cheese and salami or other cooked meat. Evening meal would be usually knorr pasta packets, I would add a little extra pasta some more salami and maybe a cupasoup. Supp,imenting it with a decent meal when i could get one ☺. The availability of resupply determines how many days I would carry, the first 5 days of the trail is the part without much resupply, after then it gets better. If you look through the comments I have listed the places where you can resupply. It's a great trail if you like a challenge.
What a stunning video that is!! Congrats! Hope I can do it myself some day. Do you have a gearlist? Looks like you have 3 type of pants? Backpack looks not that big so i wonder how you fit everything in that pack. Thanks for this beautiful video
Thank you and thanks for watching. The pack was 45 ltr. I believe that keeping your pack as light as possible is very important on a long tough hike and having a smaller pack volume makes me focus on only taking the gear that I need and not filling a larger pack up with what I won't use. Of course knowing what you need and what you don't need, without sacrificing on safety or comfort comes with experience 🙂. To answer your questions, no sorry don't have a gear list, but if you have any specific questions on what I took with me just ask, and yes I carried a pair of shorts, a pair of hiking trousers and some leggings. The total base weight of my pack, without food or water was around 7Kg.
Fabulous video. My wife and I have walked trails in this country and abroad, including WHW, C2C and Pennine Way. I'm considering doing the CWT this year to celebrate my 70th (my wife has volunteered to stay at home to look after our dog!). I'm pretty fit and don't have any real concerns as regards stamina, but as I've got older I have become less tolerant of heights. Are there any really tricky bits, e.g. Fall of Glomach, and, if so, are there alternative routes to avoid them?
Hi Bruce, glad you enjoyed the video. There are very few high tricky bits on the CWT. Only 2 that I can remember that require a little scrambling, as you say, the Falls of Glomach, which actually isn't that bad and The Bealach Coire Mhalagain, between Kinloch Hourn and Shiel Bridge, which I think at 820m is the highest point of the trail, there had been a rock slide just past the top of the bealach which took a bit of scrambling to get over. Neither of those are too bad but there are alternative routes if you are not sure on heights. Get the Harvey Maps of the trail, they show all the alternative routes and are probably the best maps for the trail, showing it all in just 2 maps at 1:40000 scale. It's a great trail, tough but well worth the effort.
Thank you 🙂. Glad you enjoyed it. It is a fantastic experience but a pretty tough trail. However, if you have some trail experience, no reason why you shouldn't give it a go. Just keep your pack light and your daily distances realistic 👍🏻
Beautiful movie. I would like to inquire about possible options to return to Glasgow or Edinburgh? Is it possible to replenish food supplies or do I have to take everything on the first day. I am planning to go in May.
Hi Robert, Thanks for watching The only option to get back from Cape Wrath is to get a bus from across the bay to Inverness and it only runs every other day and leaves at 8am. Alternatively, if you can get a few hikers together you can get a mini bus taxi. From Inverness you can get a bus, plane or train anywhere. If you have to stay overnight in Inverness I can recommend the youth hostel. In regard to supplies the first part is probably the worst, you will need to carry a good few days but after then its ok. Here is where I resupplied. Cafe in Glenfinnan but only does burgers and chips Shiel Bridge - Kintail Lodge has pub restaurant and small shop (wee bun house). although it is closed in the afternoons Kintail crafts in Morvich is a great little shop that is well stocked, sandwiches, pies, noodles, pasta snacks etc Kinlochewe has everything you need. Cafe, shop, and post office that also sells gas. Also a great pub/restaurant but you will need to book as it is on the NC500 so gets busy. Ullapool has a good sized tesco, chip shop and pub restaurants London stores near Rhiconich is a well stocked shop, there is also a Spar in Kinlochbervie. So unless you have a specific dietary requirement once you get to Shiel Bridge it is possible to resupply every few days. Good Luck with your Hike. Take something for the Ticks, its infested.
Hi Yan, I started end of April into May. That time of year it is a bit of a gamble with the weather but it avoids the midges which start around end of May.
Geeat work sir. Is there opportunity to reprevision on the trail? Btw your gear list has no drone listed. Interested in your food weight as well? Finally av miles or kms of each day? Sorry to bother you with so msny questions. It looks a doer to me.
Thanks. no problem with the questions. Yes I did have a drone, a mavic mini, and yes resupply is possible, the first part of the trail is probably the worst for resupply so you will need to carry a good few days but after then its ok. Here is a list of the places I found you can eat and/or resupply.. Cafe in Glenfinnan but only does burgers and chips. Shiel Bridge - Kintail Lodge has pub restaurant and small shop (wee bun house). although it is closed in the afternoons. Kintail crafts in Morvich is a great little shop that is well stocked, sandwiches, pies, noodles, pasta snacks etc Kinlochewe has everything you need. Cafe, shop, and post office that also sells gas.

Ullapool has a good sized tesco supermarket, chip shop and plenty of pubs and restaurants London stores near Rhiconich is a well stocked shop, there is also a Spar in Kinlochbervie. So unless you have a specific dietary requirement once you get to Shiel Bridge it is possible to resupply every few days. Food weight, probably around 1kg per day. I try to eat 3500 calories each day of hiking. I usually aim for around 20 miles/30 km each day, sometime a little more or a little less. Distance usually depends on the good camping locations and resupply.
I started end of April around 27th I think and into May. I think May is a good Month to walk in Scotland, before midge season starts. Just be aware that the Cape Wrath ferry doesn't usually start operating until into May, which was why I chose to go South to North
Great video. Two questions that are worrying me for when I do it in 2 weeks. How much water storage did you carry? Did you send a resupply by post to ullapool? If so where to?
Hi Jack, There is plenty of available water, I carried an 850ml smart water bottle for use through the day and filled it as I needed it, there are streams everywhere.

@@nkmk-hiking2737 thanks for taking the time to answer. I was considering carrying 4.5 litres of water because it is summer now but ill reduce that to 3.2. Where 0.5 litre will just be for drinking dissolved electrolytes. I bought a dehydration unit last week and dehydrating meals 24hrs a day. It some how works out to be cheaper than buying dehydrated meals. It could turn out to be a disaster or major success. Ill reply below once I've finished the trail to say if the meals worked out.
It was a bit tricky to get back. There was very strong winds when i finished so the ferry wasn't running for a few days. I stayed overnight at the lighthouse, there is a bunk room, it was about £30 for the night including a basic meal. The mini bus came and picked up a group of us the following day and took us from the lighthouse to the ferry point, it's then about a 6 mile hike around the cove. We then all got a minibus taxi to Inverness, about £25 each. I stayed overnight at the youth hostel in Inverness and caught the train home. There is a bus that runs to Inverness but it is only a few times per week and leaves at 0800.
