Cape Wrath part 4 – Shiel Bridge to Glenfinnan

 

 

Good weather and a week off, what else could we do, last minute, to make the most of it? We packed the tent, food for 3 days, a few clothes, and off we went to tackle one of the most boggiest sections of the trail (I lost count of how many times I said “thank goodness it hasn't rained in a while). To help with the logistic we decided to go North to South. Being the salmons worked great as there were more people around than we thought, and as Paul said, it's better to walk towards the food than away from it!

Epic May ride day

We so happened to have train tickets with bikes to Inverness, and accommodation at the Inverness Youth Hostel (which is by far the best we have been in Scotland!). The original plan A was to do a long cycle in the North as we had a full week off, but then we needed to be back on Monday, so the original plan 2 was to cycle all the way to Edinburgh in 1 day and finally nail the 300k, but then the weather was supposed to be good, so I though, what if we have a 2 day cycle instead, and so the plan changed to a massive 170km day cycle on Saturday, from Inverness to Kinloch Rannoch, and then cycle back home (neither thought that if we did survive day 1 we would cycle all the way home...), and so it all unfolded.
