The Cape Wrath Trail

Congratulations to Mark who completed the Cape Wrath Trail yesterday sixteen days after leaving Fort William. The trail has the reputation of being one of Britain's toughest as well as most scenic.

Those of us safe at home were able to follow his progress by a satellite transponder which he carried, which pinpointed him every half hour. It was also able to send a limited number of messages - for example, the tick at Spot 44 was a message to say that he was okay.

Mark has promised to write up his experiences and, through his photographs, give us some idea of the specacular scenery through which he walked but, with his permission, here is a taster of what is to come. It shows his camp by the banks of Loch Cluanie.
