Thursday 24th July
Looking out over Ullapool harbour on a fine day with a good forecast - just a week to Cape Wrath now! Since Torridon, I've been trekking across the Highlands with Beth and some more rugged days. Yesterday it took us the best part of ten hours to cover ten miles of quagmire and hillside, really difficult conditions underfoot. The day finished with eight miles on the main road, but then a good meal here.
We've had some fantastic, glorious days with mountain views from the bothy door and other bleak, grey days with the cloud closing in. Just a few more midges, but we won't say anything about them. At Shenavall bothy, Phoebe and Neil, reporter and photographer from Trail magazine, arrived to stay the night. So we could be appearing in the November issue!
This will be the last update before the Cape, so be thinking of us. Over 1150 miles and still going!
Hi Andrew,
ReplyDeleteIt was lovely to meet you in Shenavall Bothy! Glad you finished your challenge.
Just a quick note to let you know that the bothy feature (which includes quotes from yourself and a photograph) is in the issue of Trail out tomorrow Wednesday Sept 29th (November issue). You'll probably recognise it as it's me on the cover.
All the best
Phoebe
