There are trips that, even if short, fill your heart with wander, peace and beauty.
As it happens every year in spring, the West Coast was calling and we had to go. This time we went for a different model. Given the uncertainty of the weather, and the amount of stuff that I need for camping comfortably, we rented a van (we called him Shoupy) and instead of a long distance hike we based ourselves in the campsite in Morvich and from there we would go on day hikes. This turned out to be a great idea. The van was our kitchen, lounge, changing room, store room and reading room, and without it we wouldn't have enjoyed it so much. Still, every day we would meet those on the Cape Wrath trail who stopped there for a night, and I felt so jealous. It feels like an unfinished business and my guts say one day we will be back, for the whole of it?
