Perhaps it was my absence from social media? Most likely you didn't notice at all! But I have been absent, and my last big hike was in Norway 2018.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Everything changed towards the end of 2018 when my Father was diagnosed with terminal cancer. Anybody who's been down that road knows how it completely takes over everyone involved and your life becomes one long series of appointments. Time for anything else is minimal and certainly, there was none for long self-indulging hikes. Shortly after my father's death, we were all struck by COVID-19 and travel of any type became nearly impossible. Not long later, cancer hit again and this time it would be my mother. Fortunately, that outcome was different and Mum's doing well. In addition, during this period I moved house and Brexit caused Tramplite Gear to, effectively, cease trading. None of this was helpful to my hiking. However, the big stopper has been my own health.</span></p><span><span style="font-size: large;"><a name='more'></a></span></span><p><span style="font-size: large;">In my case, it appears I have become allergic to hiking! Seriously, I go out, I hike, I get sick. Almost every time. This isn't a completely new condition and I have, over the years, had to abandon or take breaks on several hikes because of it. You can see evidence of that here in my blog under <a href="http://www.tramplite.com/2012/05/colorado-trail-2011-part-4-creede-to.html">Colorado Trail</a>, <a href="http://www.tramplite.com/2019/12/continental-divide-trail.html#more">CDT 2016</a>, <a href="http://www.tramplite.com/2020/01/norway-to-scotland-by-foot-and-bike.html">Norway 2017</a> and <a href="http://www.tramplite.com/2021/09/5-degrees-west.html">5 Deg West</a>. I've seen many doctors and they have normally brushed it off and put it down to conditions like food poisoning, Giardia or food intolerances. However, I have never really found out what was causing it and it's a condition that has got steadily worse to the point where, towards the end of 2021, I could no longer hike at all. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Diagnosis hasn't been easy and, actually, I still don't have a definitive answer as to why it happens. I've had many tests and scans but the only one I've ever failed was a recent blood test for vitamin D. My own thoughts on this are it's a combination of issues, some I've had long-term, such as IBS and Gluten Intolerance. Which, combined with the extra stress over the last few years, and the more recent vitamin D deficiency, has become too much. </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">At the moment I'm feeling much better and following a strict Gluten Free diet. The IBS is well-controlled. My Vitamin D topped up and there's not so much stress. I'm out training again and getting myself hill fit. Last week I actually managed an overnight backpacking trip, without vomiting! That might not seem like a big deal to you, but trust me that's a big step in the right direction! I don't know what the future holds but I am at least more positive that there will be one!</span></p>Tramplitehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08046053275728885301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8744003006232045786.post-76659098685173118562021-09-02T09:45:00.396+01:002023-03-27T10:21:03.204+01:005 Degrees West<p><span style="font-size: large;"><span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222;">By accident, I came across a website by Bill Jack called the </span><a data-id="http://www.5degreeswest.co.uk" data-type="URL" href="http://www.5degreeswest.co.uk/" rel="noreferrer noopener" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #1b71d3; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-decoration: none; transition: all 0.3s ease 0s;" target="_blank">5 Degree Challenge</a><span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222;">. Here a route is described following the 5 Degree West Line of Longitude from the southern tip of the Cowal Peninsula to Cape Wrath. The route promises to traverse the finest walking terrain in Scotland as well as being one of the most challenging long hikes in Britain. This all sounded fantastic and I was also pleased it was a lengthwise coast-to-coast hike across Scotland, something I’d not done before.</span></span></p><p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjK2bbKxpE827PLVnV3HT9lsd8F7s0yhRXVwVeEmAIiFLAIhU8ReCuEnjwjlBcgc-TkVFc9oVdxgjec7mRalERpJ6JvRBi6B_VoEWGIEx5lSrzUOgsTUc37lKyIY7uFfijtSB_EX5BffTRJkFxkZm8WWCiG7qKHkVJI19ZeDTyg4XvOT7DPF4Aymnfa/s1058/5-Deg-West-2021-6-of-214.jpeg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1058" data-original-width="871" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjK2bbKxpE827PLVnV3HT9lsd8F7s0yhRXVwVeEmAIiFLAIhU8ReCuEnjwjlBcgc-TkVFc9oVdxgjec7mRalERpJ6JvRBi6B_VoEWGIEx5lSrzUOgsTUc37lKyIY7uFfijtSB_EX5BffTRJkFxkZm8WWCiG7qKHkVJI19ZeDTyg4XvOT7DPF4Aymnfa/w329-h400/5-Deg-West-2021-6-of-214.jpeg" width="329" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">5 Deg west</td></tr></tbody></table><p></p><span><a name='more'></a></span><p style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.618; margin: 0px 0px 15px;"><span style="font-size: large;">Bill has an excellent route description on his website and before long I had his route plotted on my maps. Bill is the first to admit that it would be possible to keep closer to the 5 deg line than his route did but I think he did a good job of keeping close enough to the line while remaining hikeable.</span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.618; margin: 0px 0px 15px;"><span style="font-size: large;">Bill set some basic rules which were –</span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.618; margin: 0px 0px 15px;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;"><em style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-size: large;">“deviation from the five-degree line has to be minimised and the line must be contacted at least once every day of the walk”</span></em></strong></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.618; margin: 0px 0px 15px;"><span style="font-size: large;">Sounded fair to me. To hike the 5 deg line precisely is near impossible and there would always be a need for some deviation. In places that deviation will be considerable as the line crosses a number of big Lochs, while in other areas it plummets over cliffs.</span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.618; margin: 0px 0px 15px;"><span style="font-size: large;">Starting with Bill’s route I “improved” it a little. Particularly in the first section, it is possible to get much closer to the 5 deg line if you are prepared to make your own way through the many commercial forestry plantations. However, in some sections, I chose to deviate further away, either because I knew of a better (easier!) way, or for resupply.</span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.618; margin: 0px 0px 15px;"><span style="font-size: large;">My own rules for this hike were – </span></p><ol style="box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(60, 72, 88); color: #3c4858; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.618; margin-bottom: 30px; margin-top: 0px;"><li style="box-sizing: border-box;"><em style="box-sizing: border-box;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-size: large;">Like Bill, the 5 deg line must be crossed at least once/day. </span></strong></em></li><li style="box-sizing: border-box;"><em style="box-sizing: border-box;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-size: large;">It must be hikeable in 3 weeks, that was all the time I would have available.</span></strong></em></li><li style="box-sizing: border-box;"><em style="box-sizing: border-box;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-size: large;">Deviating from the line for resupply was acceptable as long as rule 1 was honoured. </span></strong></em></li><li style="box-sizing: border-box;"><em style="box-sizing: border-box;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-size: large;">Always honour rule 1!</span></strong></em></li></ol><div><span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="color: #3c4858; font-size: large;"><span style="caret-color: rgb(60, 72, 88);"><b><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnbc5bcevLSFh9TbUH1gf9cJZYT3EEZ7ANE9Lf5m5NHCkmGzJyQZ6_WkIjgfzVwJH4XH91yTwBGaVyiUNUf1rpZsBnkF65fTuF0bw3dgV3575oftNtULQb7ywrjgMPdNfCQwm1sMhNHiFGsu6nvI8Ns3KrJmhmgpNVk43buDBsz6NUL9I5iKtRtea1/s1536/IMG_0862-1265x1536.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="1265" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnbc5bcevLSFh9TbUH1gf9cJZYT3EEZ7ANE9Lf5m5NHCkmGzJyQZ6_WkIjgfzVwJH4XH91yTwBGaVyiUNUf1rpZsBnkF65fTuF0bw3dgV3575oftNtULQb7ywrjgMPdNfCQwm1sMhNHiFGsu6nvI8Ns3KrJmhmgpNVk43buDBsz6NUL9I5iKtRtea1/w528-h640/IMG_0862-1265x1536.jpg" width="528" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">5 Deg route</td></tr></tbody></table></b><strong style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><div><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;">Resupply</strong></div><div><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;"><br /></strong></div></strong></span></span></div><div><p style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.618; margin: 0px 0px 15px;"><span style="font-size: large;">While this hike passes through some remote country resupply was relatively simple. There is a train service from the nearby villages of Dalmally and Achnasheen which will get you to large towns/cities with supermarkets. The route also passes close enough to Fort William to deviate that way. Fort William is also a good place to pick up any replacement kit with many good outdoor shops. Food drops, or hitching into towns, would be a possibility but not something I felt necessary.</span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.618; margin: 0px 0px 15px;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-size: large;">My resupply strategy was –</span></strong></p><ol style="box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(60, 72, 88); color: #3c4858; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.618; margin-bottom: 30px; margin-top: 0px;"><li style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-size: large;">Cowal Peninsula – Dalmally 98km (train to Oban)</span></li><li style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-size: large;">Dalmally – Fort William 86km (resupply Fort William)</span></li><li style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-size: large;">Fort William – Achnasheen 142km (train to Dingwall)</span></li><li style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-size: large;">Achnasheen to Cape Wrath 170km</span></li></ol><p style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.618; margin: 0px 0px 15px;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-size: large;">The route</span></strong></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.618; margin: 0px 0px 15px;"><span style="font-size: large;">This is a tough hike and only recommend to those who are happy carrying heavy loads over rough and trackless terrain. Being able to read the terrain and pick the best way across steep, rough and trackless ground, in all weathers, is a necessary skill. While this is a route that rewards those that travel light you will still carry 5-7 days of food and other gear up and down some very steep and relentless terrain.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjF5BOt7UO4e_elrmtT_FJX2_yjusPOG-eRFF1VjDjA_vqplp5jC_oD9tZG0LAw7kOSSzrp9jpIAK3gw-J_91cfmbV2dXZNe_TwnyaAnh6Z42oHYh6BPb-3F7JDYcEVMHbgbrbXJfrHiXRqfHzzt1S8P25BBORRBcRlo0wcvkdQhS8yl8DFVXSqZvC6/s1328/5-Deg-West-2021-9-of-214.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1328" data-original-width="1125" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjF5BOt7UO4e_elrmtT_FJX2_yjusPOG-eRFF1VjDjA_vqplp5jC_oD9tZG0LAw7kOSSzrp9jpIAK3gw-J_91cfmbV2dXZNe_TwnyaAnh6Z42oHYh6BPb-3F7JDYcEVMHbgbrbXJfrHiXRqfHzzt1S8P25BBORRBcRlo0wcvkdQhS8yl8DFVXSqZvC6/w542-h640/5-Deg-West-2021-9-of-214.jpeg" width="542" /></a></div><p style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.618; margin: 0px 0px 15px;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Section 1 - Cowel Peninsula to Dalmally, 98.5km (3 days)</b></span></span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.618; margin: 0px 0px 15px;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: large;">This is by far the easiest section and a great way to ease yourself into the hike. Mostly, you can link together existing paths/tracks but there are still large areas of cross-country hiking involved. The Cowal Peninsula is heavily planted with commercial forests and a good portion of this section is spent passing through them. This is the main area where I thought Bill’s route could be improved and I kept a lot closer to the 5 Deg Line than he did. I did wonder why he deviated so far but I soon found out.. access, or rather lack of it! Many of these commercial forests were being harvested and access when harvesting is severely restricted. In other areas, I found many locked farm gates surrounded by high deer fences, with no method of easy access for walkers. This area clearly isn’t hiked often and I didn’t see a another hiker. Fortunately, luck was on my side in that I chose to start my hike Friday and normally there is no harvesting over the weekend. My big tip for future hikers is to do the same, start hiking midday Friday and push through to Dalmally by midday Monday and you SHOULD be fine. I ignored all the “stop, no not enter signs” and climbed all the locked fences/gates, and had no issues.</span></span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

margin: 0px 0px 15px;">This was a tough section for a number of reasons and I didn’t always follow my planned route. My first issue was a case of suspected food poisoning! In Oban I got a ready-cooked roast chicken and that night I felt terrible! Being sick in the hills is never fun but especially when I knew this was going to be such a tough section, even if fully fit. The effects of that poisoning continued all the way to Fort William but it did at least ease for the final day. Also, it got hot, really hot, but also very humid. Unusually for Scotland daytime temperatures touched 30C but add in the humidity of 70-80% and it felt a lot hotter. At times I simply couldn’t keep hydrated and I had to try and limit the amount of ascent, and time the big climbs for early morning, not easy on this hike! There are a lot of popular Munro’s in the area so, at times, you will hike on good paths but there is also a lot of challenging cross-country hiking to be done.</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.618; margin: 0px 0px 15px;">Day 1, feeling ill I pushed on with the planned route but the pathless terrain to Bealachan Lochain Ghaineamhaich took its toll. After summiting Glas Bheinn Mhor I headed down to Glen Coe to find somewhere to camp, absolutely exhausted. That camp, squashed between two blowdown trees, in a commercial forest, was a low point of the trip. I still felt terrible, it was unbearably hot, I’d gotten behind schedule and I wasn’t sure if I could even carry on. By morning I was feeling a little better, not good enough to continue the planned route, but at least good enough to keep hiking. Instead of taking the high route over Stob Coire Sgreamhach, Am Bodacgh and Meall Dearg, I joined the West Highland Way at the Devil’s Staircase and followed that into Kinlochleven. That plod along the WHW was exactly what I needed and quite possibly saved the hike. I camped early that day, in some pre-cleared camping spots just past Kinlochmore. </p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.618; margin: 0px 0px 15px;">With COVID-induced staycations being a thing this year accommodation was extremely scarce. I’d had to prebook a room in Fort William which meant I needed to be in town the following day. Though I was feeling a lot better I still had the Mamores and Nevis Range to cross which wasn’t going to be possible given the time, my fitness, and this heat. I decided to cross the Mamores, as planned, then head straight down Glen Nevis into town. Sadly Ben Nevis would have to be dropped. It was a tough decision given that the summit is so close to the 5 deg line.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdBepawLBEDaHFV2qMAnPFQyBf9ppnRlTEursvH3rK97YB0tuO_pUdfex0oaIjD4hXX8rZcOPY2HMB054B9R2SM3y-Ln-F5hE6eWbQ8TUtkZqIOyTjmJMUPu5l6Nq5JX8_HxYGCcf4Nq8IvgR63aYDYnW5nzlQS1htrxIL1UCWGByPVGfY9cFf6j1l/s1536/5-Deg-West-2021-69-of-214-1536x1024.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em;

There are a number of Glens, running west-east, and most are surrounded by high mountains. The route passes across these Glens and that means a lot of ascents followed by descent, and repeated, time after time! You are walking against the flow of the Glens and there are large sections of cross-country hiking to be done. It was very challenging but a section I really enjoyed. The hot and humid weather continued but at least I was feeling well again. </p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.618; margin: 0px 0px 15px;">It was in this section that one of the most bizarre moments of my life happened. After a fantastic day's hike from Glen Affric to Glen Strathfarrar I set up camp near Loch Monar.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZe8-31VSk3lxMfAaD-SkkdXF1VnRX55BJV8NscTf5eRaVOO8adtZq7LfZ1cxwcx8UwEvALQf9T64QxrMfmZ7z0RFX2DxLA10462rr7o6HmdxQFBOuQOpUl4z8wNy1Ypjwk0LmW7PEmrDJYSDCM5VmY_KTT4egLjH-asKt12_2qgHEjdiCr_lBJMTk/s2048/5-Deg-West-2021-108-of-214-2048x1084.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

Soon after entering I dropped off to sleep but was suddenly woken by what sounded like rain. Having left the flysheet door open I was about to open the inner, and close it, when I could see it couldn’t be raining, the sky was cloudless. It was cloudless except it was oddly dark and that patchy darkness was moving in random patterns. It took a few moments to register that it was midges, and in huge clouds, clouds of midges larger than I’d ever seen. After watching for a while, safe in my sealed inner tent, I dropped off again praying that the wind would pick up and clear them away. Unfortunately, I woke to a clear and calm morning, though the sky was still grey with midges! Normally I’m ok with midges, they do bite me, and they can be annoying, but when bitten they normally wear off after an hour or two. However, looking out there from my sealed cocoon horrified me. Midges are persistent, and even with a head net and repellent, it wasn’t going to be a pleasant experience. Skipping breakfast I packed up as quickly as possible and took a short video clip that I would later post on Twitter. The reaction to that post was insane and it was soon picked up by the likes of the BBC and a number of local and national newspapers. Even radio got involved and the theme of a BBC Radio 2 program was my midge clip, with the listeners having to pick suitable songs to go with it!</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='334' height='267' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dxv_mBF6u-IJmyUUcDsc9SYKZRwlyjs2WjxCPV0PeWRNCoM9g1xbuDZzdbxuMJ9wZ7BWBcYWCVklYEyYN8bqw' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I was happy it was much cooler. This is the only section where there is any significant road walking and while I had remembered these roads as being quiet, that had all changed with the popularity of the North Coast 500 route. There is now a lot of fast traffic, on very narrow roads, and it wasn’t much fun walking them. Once away from the roads the walking here was really special and I’m now a huge fan of the far north of Scotland. Here, there are fewer Munro’s and therefore fewer walkers, paths and tracks. It still feels wild, unspoilt and remote, it reminded me of Nordkapp, in Northern Norway. For the final day’s walk into Cape Wrath, the clouds cleared and the sun shone which seemed a fitting end to what was a spectacular hike.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEheYR3oI1ScUcTYDJUa0wjUWJijQ8vEENyZT9Us-mHcExlVbWIEMV9KxrGx9bo4dk5SK0vK_JWqMY5ASh41oqeLTuEq3Xbn6nTkb-WC3yDqMs88f0cWeE6ylIWFl3EjaoGrKZ5AeamSMwhjsaaMi8D0VKPJAlmjmMOTDZJAZG5__7K9grUWuzUBuUGx/s2500/5-Deg-West-2021-157-of-214.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

I would start on the Isle Of Arran and walk the coastal path with a friend. Then, I would slowly hike north to Cape Wrath, by a little-known route. I was super excited to get started but once again 2020 had different ideas and a mixture of my father’s poor health, and an unexpected flood stopped the hike after only 4 days.</span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.618; margin: 0px 0px 15px;"><span style="font-size: large;">Still, those 4 days on Arran were excellent!</span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.618; margin: 0px 0px 15px;"></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZbZvV217-hdU6R02u-Yc16rrGTy3oam9zqbk45pKAuzSD1E2Y-7pqjYWYOnjASJqcJe2DqSJLrLDiofS0UL_koHa66bjHn7K5JT44v591vbRlwBZrebHe6eOk3aQtMOyCgcO0lH0ui5vKPVWAN3zKj9fugvAsjknOSgiiV1UknWLu2SYMRP2q1Xqw/s2048/3D60347A-CE80-4576-82A6-073222FE117B.jpeg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZbZvV217-hdU6R02u-Yc16rrGTy3oam9zqbk45pKAuzSD1E2Y-7pqjYWYOnjASJqcJe2DqSJLrLDiofS0UL_koHa66bjHn7K5JT44v591vbRlwBZrebHe6eOk3aQtMOyCgcO0lH0ui5vKPVWAN3zKj9fugvAsjknOSgiiV1UknWLu2SYMRP2q1Xqw/w640-h426/3D60347A-CE80-4576-82A6-073222FE117B.jpeg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Arran</td></tr></tbody></table><span><a name='more'></a></span><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipgBU5SmRbWdnxx-Q69jq7W6Jxy1OFdl-Mbd6gGe29TOh6NbEop4DXbUEaNMB6kmE6rRiy71yaIzvWBywpkYrm48RQtSuRhl6oL2_TAQjauJvmEBC__DWA7XNBolE3Zzid_LLrZD9_bOQxnl6cFb3U6NMx5g8vRCxZAgf5EA5BzcYEnXRgo9pYoz1Z/s2048/F6AE9A20-0F9F-44F3-97F9-F81141EC54E2.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipgBU5SmRbWdnxx-Q69jq7W6Jxy1OFdl-Mbd6gGe29TOh6NbEop4DXbUEaNMB6kmE6rRiy71yaIzvWBywpkYrm48RQtSuRhl6oL2_TAQjauJvmEBC__DWA7XNBolE3Zzid_LLrZD9_bOQxnl6cFb3U6NMx5g8vRCxZAgf5EA5BzcYEnXRgo9pYoz1Z/w640-h426/F6AE9A20-0F9F-44F3-97F9-F81141EC54E2.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxPhnE4Iw_Mlwsi8jmJ0MJYhiJflXasl8zF3frGT2SskTkUKmMLFsQm4KcBB2nfCZulAxuNQzt92NpVoEXVWVAmNAm13GV7b0HWKvubvIn7C7_5Y3my15tLeXd0FWNmP_zyjUa46nK8dsyg5MqBJuGLLiGKTm_UYl2Cp7gr7Yhb9wgy7ppVXffc0br/s2048/983ED0EA-180A-4CFB-AA73-97DD31C1DD08.jpeg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxPhnE4Iw_Mlwsi8jmJ0MJYhiJflXasl8zF3frGT2SskTkUKmMLFsQm4KcBB2nfCZulAxuNQzt92NpVoEXVWVAmNAm13GV7b0HWKvubvIn7C7_5Y3my15tLeXd0FWNmP_zyjUa46nK8dsyg5MqBJuGLLiGKTm_UYl2Cp7gr7Yhb9wgy7ppVXffc0br/w640-h426/983ED0EA-180A-4CFB-AA73-97DD31C1DD08.jpeg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Glen Rosa</td></tr></tbody></table><p style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 1.618; margin: 0px 0px 15px;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;">After leaving the ferry we headed straight for Glen Rosa to camp.

This isn’t the way the official coast path summits Goatfell but it is a much more interesting option and well worth the extra effort.

At Lochranza we stayed at the campsite.</span></span></div><div><span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(34, 34, 34); color: #222222;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

The coastal path here spends a lot of time following the road as far as Pirnmill, but it’s a quiet road and still a fine walk. From Pirnmill you get off the road for a while to Imachar. It’s not the easiest of sections with a lot of rock-hopping but it’s wild and beautiful with a number of caves to explore, and surprisingly, a burial ground.</span></span></div><div><span face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" style="background-color: white;

This was always a possibility and has been the reason I’ve not managed to do any long hikes for the last 18 months. I was going to have to abandon and head home. <br /><br />On top of that, I also heard my storage locker in Perth had flooded after flash floods the day before. In that locker is a lot of outdoor kit, which would be fine, but also 30yrs of photos which I was more worried about. The photos had got really wet but they dried out well enough. I’ve since moved all my gear from Perth to much nearer home in Yorkshire.<br /></span></td></tr></tbody></table></div><div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgA5CNt4AiNpX5dm30YhaRosDL7w5pTlPD7dTYy7FmS1xa9vXdd3RpzCy5Yoza2EotDHAZ8hOOqfatWFPTOpBltSnjqAuXma2FfC9NDaHX13BtUhOGNH9SjwzItd2CtTHZyzakj4viBy1HE2AEI76WZ77fimUEWq06K2RbNcLX9Y1trD6HYZ3O-bVzT/s2048/img_0497.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1786" data-original-width="2048" height="558" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgA5CNt4AiNpX5dm30YhaRosDL7w5pTlPD7dTYy7FmS1xa9vXdd3RpzCy5Yoza2EotDHAZ8hOOqfatWFPTOpBltSnjqAuXma2FfC9NDaHX13BtUhOGNH9SjwzItd2CtTHZyzakj4viBy1HE2AEI76WZ77fimUEWq06K2RbNcLX9Y1trD6HYZ3O-bVzT/w640-h558/img_0497.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Perth storage locker</td></tr></tbody></table></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgm7QWCBnVqmiH3e4yIPNdcJTIVnLQrKivtIAJ4OBZZ05EFl0-lXZMle2YGpiZSp5MT6wbLl5BKrzO1AMXf3JiTb0CPWVm3pCuP6ZsDAVsbiM5GIl4JpMigJ6GlVPFzx16wD2lz9HsDA--zWT_loo0amiA_GBn9BBqARj7fvwGj0dHF7xKnkVgUr69z/s2048/img_0499.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1327" data-original-width="2048" height="414" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgm7QWCBnVqmiH3e4yIPNdcJTIVnLQrKivtIAJ4OBZZ05EFl0-lXZMle2YGpiZSp5MT6wbLl5BKrzO1AMXf3JiTb0CPWVm3pCuP6ZsDAVsbiM5GIl4JpMigJ6GlVPFzx16wD2lz9HsDA--zWT_loo0amiA_GBn9BBqARj7fvwGj0dHF7xKnkVgUr69z/w640-h414/img_0499.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNZBD9oGNu2GJ1GCES2Msisri1YrNdBg6plUC1S_O30dccfeqXXkhOr8SFKp4DRE9ihIP1DaUS7FwtkGwAWjTHS3gREKqT-tldrGzJ0-glS7RuzJku1yTTwk_xxu7FkaxrSLV3gS4E1NqMVYCHQiMSzvZWoSxCLaFQ6KoaA4EchnXYyjDPXydF5sLW/s2048/img_0502.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1128" data-original-width="2048" height="352" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNZBD9oGNu2GJ1GCES2Msisri1YrNdBg6plUC1S_O30dccfeqXXkhOr8SFKp4DRE9ihIP1DaUS7FwtkGwAWjTHS3gREKqT-tldrGzJ0-glS7RuzJku1yTTwk_xxu7FkaxrSLV3gS4E1NqMVYCHQiMSzvZWoSxCLaFQ6KoaA4EchnXYyjDPXydF5sLW/w640-h352/img_0502.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Drying photo albums in a hotel room</td></tr></tbody></table><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVpag5iLX23I4cQCWnRszqMTkKU1jfpPtnYVAC_jGo5IgQCyIvq9PAK5KJtsX_1QMsR08r_Zgk0mft63AfVn8PZSoQSj7u_pf_Nn_6oTewLlyJ5r6omILKBxXZLLmgZJTQ0Rwhx74VZdtyP8M7nA6Aa-VZV8O9vZ7XZkEMTx_pfHoncjzfvSx_FvBQ/s2048/img_0505-1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1935" data-original-width="2048" height="604" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVpag5iLX23I4cQCWnRszqMTkKU1jfpPtnYVAC_jGo5IgQCyIvq9PAK5KJtsX_1QMsR08r_Zgk0mft63AfVn8PZSoQSj7u_pf_Nn_6oTewLlyJ5r6omILKBxXZLLmgZJTQ0Rwhx74VZdtyP8M7nA6Aa-VZV8O9vZ7XZkEMTx_pfHoncjzfvSx_FvBQ/w640-h604/img_0505-1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><span><!--more--></span><span><!--more--></span><span><!--more--></span>Tramplitehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08046053275728885301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8744003006232045786.post-72766723809301177132020-07-25T12:56:00.015+01:002023-03-24T09:06:02.608+00:00The Long Wait<p><span style="font-size: large;">Normally a hike like this wouldn't make the blog, I don't blog much and I save what little I do for the longer and more “interesting” trips. However, as we all know 2020 hasn't been a normal year and this hike feels as important as any of my others, if not more.</span></p><span style="font-size: large;"><a name='more'></a></span><p><span style="font-size: large;">I hadn't hiked for a while, actually, my last hike was back in January. Winter is normally when I concentrate on building gear and that can be all-consuming. I don't get out much during this period. I had been due to start hiking again in late March, I even had train tickets booked, but the lockdown ended that. Lockdown dragged on for months, and even as restrictions were slowly eased, camping was still prohibited. That continued into July.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">Finally, on the 6th of July, I went hiking. It was only 5 days, and to an area, I am very familiar with but that didn't matter. However, the virus hasn't gone away and I wanted to minimise risks as much as possible so I set some rules. No campsites, no resupply, quiet hiking routes and as little public transport as possible.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">I got dropped off not far from my house, at Harewood House Estate, and followed the Ebor Way towards Ilkley. I’d never hiked this local trail before but it was an enjoyable route. After the first night's camp, high up on Ilkley Moor, I picked up the Dales High Way and followed that, on and off, to the summit of Ingleborough. On the way, I camped in an old quarry near Malham. From the busy Ingleborough summit I took the quiet route over Park Fell, then past Ribblehead Viaduct and up high onto Blea Moor, where I camped. From there I made use of the Ribble Way and a number of other routes to get me over to Buckden Pike and then a very boggy section over to Great Whernside, for the final camp. Then it was the Dales Way to Grassington where the hike ended.</span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">I cannot tell you how good it felt to get out in the hills again, even if it was only for 5 days. It’s easy to take what we have for granted and this whole 2020 experience has made me appreciate these moments more.</span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

However, not hiking for a year wasn't going to be an option so while on <a href="https://www.tgochallenge.co.uk/" target="_blank">The Great Outdoors Challange</a>, a 2 week organised hike across Scotland, I came up with the idea of completing a coast to coast across all 3 mainland UK countries, or the Triple Crown for UK coast to coast hikers. Even better I could do this in 2-week chunks while still fulfilling my home commitments.</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #454545; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: large; text-align: justify;">The route across Scotland was my own concoction and had been planned 6 months earlier, also I had always wanted to hike the <a href="http://www.cambrianway.org.uk/" target="_blank">Cambrian Way</a> so there was no decision on the route across Wales. England, however, required a little more thought. The obvious way would have been Wainwrights Coast to Coast but as I'd hiked that twice already I wanted to try something different. Looking at alternatives I came across a route called the <a href="https://www.ldwa.org.uk/ldp/members/show_path.php?path_name=Ravenber+Way" target="_blank">Ravenber Way</a>. This looked interesting while being little known, perfect!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /><br /><b><u>Scottish Coast to Coast (TGOC)</u></b><br /><br /> My route across Scotland started in Lochailort and finished, as always for me, in Stonehaven. On the way, I passed through Fort Augustus, Aviemore, Braemar and Ballater. For me, the TGOC is a social hike and that's what's drawn me back, on-and-off, since 2007. My TGOC routes are never the most interesting, nor are they overly challenging. I plot a route across Scotland that will bring me to all the social hotspots on the right days, that's my priority. Up to Braemar I try and hike new routes but after Braemar, I normally follow 1 of 2 well-travelled routes. The problem with the TGOC is the further east you hike the less interesting it becomes and it's quite difficult not to end up with a long road walk. I pick Stonehaven as my finish point purely because it has the least amount of road walking. </span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This is a little known coast to coast route across England with some sections, particularly in the Eden Valley, that clearly hadn't been hiked for a very long time. If you are looking for a quiet coast to coast, well away from the busy Wainwright route, then this might be for you. The basic route isn't particularly challenging but those overgrown sections do make it hard going at times. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The route starts in Ravenglass and takes you through the heart of the Lake District before descending into, and crossing, the Eden Valley. After climbing high into the Pennines it's onto Northumberland, and the Cheviot Hills, before following the River Tweed to the finish at Berwick-upon-Tweed.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I enjoyed this route but wouldn't necessarily choose it over Wainwrights unless I really wanted the quietness you will find here. Overall, scenically, I think Wainwrights route is still the best coast to coast route across England that I've done.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I was really excited to hike the Cambrian Way as it had been on my list for a very long time. It isn't quite a coast to coast hike as it starts at Cardiff castle but it's very easy to add in a short link section to the sea, which is what I did. From Cardiff, you head north into the Brecon Beacons National Park then onto the Black Mountains (Carmarthen Vans) before taking a lovely route through central Wales and entering the toughest sections through Snowdonia then finally onto the finish at Conwy Castle. There's a lot of hype over the Cambrian Way, revolving around its toughness and beauty, but is it deserved? Well, I can confirm this is a superb hike and probably one of the greatest in the UK. It is challenging, it is beautiful and it's just a bloody good hike!</span></div>

It's now 2020 and I'm adding in that missing content in a more photo-based blog post, this trip was from 2018*</b><br /><br />End to end hiking is my passion. A hike starting at one end of a country and finishing at the other feels complete, particularly so if that start and finish is bordered by sea. Actually, the sea is quite important because the feeling of physically not being able to walk further is a very satisfying way to end a hike, more so than any man-made border. Walking Norway is one of those great hikes and this one turned out to be a particularly satisfying on many levels. It also be happened to be my toughest hike to date!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Walking the length of Norway has a name, it's called Norge på langs (Norway lengthwise) and is becoming more popular. According to the <a href="http://www.norgepaalangs.info/">Norge på langs</a> website around 30 people attempted it my year. This hike is very much a route and not a trail, there is no official trail the length of Norway. Despite there being no trail it's common to start at Nordkapp (North Cape) and finish at Lindesnes. I like to be different so visited neither of those places. Nordkapp is actually on an island, off the mainland, and linked by a tunnel so doesn't fit in with my mainland end-end hike. It's also not a great start to the walk as you follow a reasonably busy road and will have to hitch through the tunnel, as it's not walkable. I started on the coast where the tunnel emerges on the mainland. I also picked Mandal over Lindesnes for my finish point purely for logistical reasons. Mandal isn't quite as far south as Lindesnes but there's not much in it. As it happens I actually finished in Kristiansand which was down to a change of route brought on by the weather. Kristiansand was a good place to finish and has great transport links.<br /><br />Planning your own route is part of the fun with a Norge på langs and you can make it as tough or easy as you wish. I went down the more challenging of route choices and I can say the Norge på langs was the toughest long-distance hike I've done to date. The vast boulder fields of southern Norway are something I will never forget!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /><b><u>Finnmark 4-15 July</u></b><br /><br /> Finnmark is the northernmost part of continental Europe and situated far north of the Arctic Circle. It's remote and very quiet hiking here. This visit was very different from when I was <a href="http://www.tramplite.com/2020/01/norway-to-scotland-by-foot-and-bike.html">here</a> last year when there was still 1.5m of snow on the ground! I was very lucky with the weather and it was mostly surprisingly hot and dry. Most river crossings are unbridged but the waters were so low that they were not an issue. Finnmark isn't particularly mountainous but I enjoyed its rolling hills and quietness. There's not much out here other than Reindeer. I really like Finnmark.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b><u>Reisa National Park, Troms 15 July</u></b><br /><br /> The river Reisa has cut a gorge through here and there are many waterfalls. It's a lovely place but has really bad mosquitoes during the summer months! The E1 route descends into this gorge on an exposed cliff path. The safety wire is a nice touch but not really needed in summer.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b><u>Käsivarren - Finland 16-18 July</u></b><br /><br />While this was a hike in Norway my route did pass into Finland and Sweden. The main reason I did this was to resupply. Basic hiking foods that are perhaps not so healthy, off the trail, but that make up a big part of a hikers diet are incredibly expensive in Norway. On top of that Norway increased its sugar tax 83% the year I hiked! £5 for a small bar of chocolate? £5 for a can of coke? I paid those prices in the more rural stores... Any chance to resupply outside of Norway should not be missed! Kilpisjärvi is just over the border in Finland and not far from the Three-Country Cairn where Norway, Finland and Sweden meet. This is a very popular tourist destination in the summer and accommodation can be scarce in Kilpisjärvi.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b><u>Øvre Dividal National Park 18-24 July</u></b><br /><br />Now back in Norway, it's a wonderful hike through the Øvre Dividal National Park and Rohkunborri before leaving Norway again to resupply in Abisko (Sweden). Some of this section is along the border so you pass, unnoticed, between Norway and Sweden numerous times. This really is a superb section and one of the most memorable sections in northern Norway.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b><u>Abisko (Sweden) to Sulitjelma (Norway) 24-31 July</u></b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />There's quite a lot of swapping from Sweden to Norway, and vice-versa, on this section. Mostly while hiking you don't know what country you're in, it matters not out here. I followed the Nordkalottleden Trail which I'd hiked a few years earlier. It perhaps spends a bit too much time in Sweden, for a Norge på langs hike, but it's such a spectacular section that I really wanted to do it again.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b><u>Junkerdal and Saltfjellet-Svartisen National Parks 3-6 Aug</u></b><br /><br />The dramatic landscapes of the previous section continue here. It's also here that you pass through the Arctic Circle which is quite a big moment on any Norge på langs hike. The Arctic circle marks the northernmost point at which the centre of the noon sun is just visible on the December solstice and the southernmost point at which the centre of the midnight sun is just visible on the June solstice. It's marked on the map but does move around each year.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">According to Wikipedia Blåfjella–Skjækerfjella is the third-largest national park on the Norwegian mainland and one of the largest remaining true wilderness areas. It's certainly a very wild and undeveloped area. I'd been following the E1 hiking route, on and off, for a while and mostly it follows established hiking trails but through Blåfjella and Skjækerfjella it's very vague. Looking at the E1 map there's just an odd waypoint every 20km or so with a straight line joining those points together. Basically, there are no trails here, and therefore no E1 route, and you must make your own way. Normally I relish sections like this but given the heavy rains and rapidly rising rivers I was a little apprehensive. Actually, the hiking here was mostly ok, it did rain the entire time but it was easy enough to keep follow a bearing. The main issue experienced were the gorges that intersected my route at regular intervals and took a bit of effort to find suitable, and safe, crossing points.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b><u>Reinheimen & Breheimen National Parks 2-6 Sept</u></b><br /><br />My lasting memories of both these national parks is just how tough the hiking can be. The terrain is mostly rock and boulders. Sometimes these boulders might be small, sometimes these boulders are as big as cars, but there will always be boulders in your way, and you cannot bypass them! The only "green" areas are the valleys which seemed to be around 20km apart. 20km/day is about as far as I could cover in a full days hiking out here. Camping outside of these green valleys is nearly impossible as you will not likely find a rock-free area to pitch. It's certainly a stunning and memorable area, with those high rocky mountains and Glaciers, and makes a lovely summers hike. It's not so nice in the wind and freezing rain I mostly suffered!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b><u>Hardangervidda National Park 8-10 Sept</u></b><br /><br />Hardangervidda is where I made a decision to head a little further east and finish in Kristiansand rather than Mandal. That change would take me around the endless boulder fields which had got a bit monotonous! Crossing boulder fields is slow but can be fun when they are dry but, at best, they were always wet and slippery and for at least the 1st few hours, each day, also frozen. Totally treacherous!</span><br />

<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">The decision to detour around the boulder fields turned out to be a good one when the snows that had been threatening for weeks arrived the following day. Looking back towards the high mountains, I'd crossed only yesterday, I could see they were completely covered in a white blanket. I considered myself lucky to have got through. My route from here would still be mountainous, for a while longer, but would hit the more built-up areas sooner than my original route.</span></div>

It's now 2020 and I'm adding in that missing content in a more photo-based blog post, this trip was from 2018*</span></b><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I wrote a piece for <a href="https://pocketmags.com/tgo-the-great-outdoors-magazine/august-2018">TGO</a> magazine about this hike that I recommend reading, it's available as a back issue for £4.99.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">For more info on the Wainwright's then look <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Wainwrights" target="_blank">here</a> and for the Outlying Fells <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Outlying_Fells_of_Lakeland" target="_blank">here</a>. For more info on bagging try <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peak_bagging" target="_blank">here</a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">To be honest I didn't know a lot about the Wainwright's or even the man himself. My first long-distance hike was Wainwright's Coast to Coast and that was about the level of my knowledge at that point. Of course, I was aware of the 214 Wainwright's which are extremely popular peaks to bag, but I'd never even heard of his 116 additional Outlying Fells.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">In fact, hiking the Wainwright's had been something I'd thought about ever since a friend attempted it around 8yrs earlier. That attempt wasn't successful but I liked the idea which surprised me as I'd never considered myself a bagger. Of course, I am a bagger but instead of bagging peaks, I've spent my life bagging trails. Trails or peaks, it's still bagging and I'm a bagger! In 2016 another friend mentioned they were thinking of hiking the Wainwright's and this time it really got my interest. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The following winter I spent the dark evenings researching how best to link all those 214 Wainwright's together into a continuous hike when I stumbled across the Outlying Fells, instantly I knew I had add them. A continuous round of the Wainwright's has been many times but I couldn't find anybody that had hiked all the Outlying Fells and certainly, nobody had hiked a continuous round of all 330 Wainwright's and Outlying Fells. Challenge accepted!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Looking deeper the reason nobody had hiked the Outlying Fells is kind of self-explanatory. Outlying Fells are scattered around the Lake District and are often in the farthest corners, well away from the more popular peaks and hiking areas. Linking them together into a continuous round would mean long link sections just to sometimes bag 1 or 2 peaks. A continuous round didn't make sense. However, if you were already hiking the Wainwright's then the Outliers simply became an extension of what you were already doing, it made perfect sense and I was surprised nobody had already done this.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">My route was based on Steve Birkinshaw's record-breaking fell running route for the Wainwright's but modified for hiking. I would need to resupply and sometimes the quickest route between fells isn't the best when hiking. To this modified route I added in additional spurs for the Outliers. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">What I really enjoyed about this hike was there was never a dull moment. On most hikes, there are sections that, frankly, are a bit dull. On all long hikes, you have link sections between areas of most interest and they might be on roads, 4*4 tracks or just not through particularly nice areas. It's part of every long hike and they can be fairly short (a day or 2) or much longer (sometimes weeks). This hike didn't really have that because it's contained within the beautiful and compact Lake District. Also when bagging, on average, 8 peaks/day I was never far from the next and always had something to aim for. Of course, there are some road sections and some of the Outliers are out of the way, and a bit remote, but those sections are short. I actually enjoyed the Outliers most because they got me into areas of the Lake District I would never have normally visited and given how quiet some of those areas were it's clear not many others do too.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I've been asked how the Outliers compare to the Wainwright's and mostly they are very different. Wainwright's are normally much grander and have a proper identifiable summit. It's very clear why Wainwright picked them. Outliers can sometimes be like that too, and a number of them could easily have made the Wainwright list, but others can be nothing more than a slight lump in the ground. Occasionally I had to spend time with the GPS to actually find the official top. Some Wainwright's and Outliers only look at their best if approached from a certain direction which will be as described in his guidebooks. Because of the way I linked them together I often didn't take the more normal routes so didn't get to appreciate them as Wainwright intended. This was particularly obvious with the first Outlier, just outside of Kendal, which is just a pile of stones on a patch of grass when bagged from that direction.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I started in Kendal on the 23 April, mainly for logistical reasons, but also Wainwright's original guidebooks were printed here so it felt right.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The first 2 weeks were very wet but from then on there was a heatwave and water became a real issue. There's not a lot of water up high at the best of times but what little there was soon dried up. The Lake District is, of course, full of lakes but that water was always 600+m meter down in the valleys and I didn't want to drop that height just for water. I did mostly find water but it was of variable quality. Of course in the heat, the bogs dried up beautifully and really helped with my hike.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br />Back in 2015 I cycled around Scotland and Northern England but also took a packraft. While I enjoyed that trip I didn't use the packraft nearly as much as I thought I would. The reason for that, quite honestly, is that packrafts are not enjoyable, or comfortable, to paddle long distances on still-waters. On top of that, at best, you can paddle a packraft at walking pace but as soon as there's any headwind then forget it! If you're still going forward then it's a bonus in those conditions! Don't get me wrong, packrafts are fantastic in many ways and are ideal for short still-water crossings, moving rivers and rapids, hiking and so on but would I want to do a 30km Loch paddle loaded with my bike and gear? No way!</span><span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />

<b><u><span style="font-size: large;">The Plan</span></u></b><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Many years ago I read <a href="http://www.spanglefish.com/TillyandMartinsexpeditions/index.asp?pageid=96958" target="_blank">this</a> blog about a couple who cycled around Scotland, on a folding tandem bike, towing a trailer with an Ally folding canoe. They cycled Loch to Loch and when they got to water they packed everything in the canoe and paddled to the other side before then getting back on the bike. I loved the idea so much I bought an Ally canoe myself. That canoe is fantastic but with its sheer slab sides and rocker shaped hull, it's too much of a handful for 1 person on a windy Loch. It's also very bulky when packed and slow to assemble. However, once assembled its a brilliant canoe and one day I will use it more. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">My plan for this trip was to do something similar to what Tilly and Martin had done in 2008. I would tour around Scotland, cycling from Loch to Loch, and where possible paddle the length of the Loch and continuing cycling from the far end</span><span style="font-size: large;">.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">So that's what I did and it worked really well. I loved the variety you got on a trip like this, somedays you paddled, somedays you cycled, somedays you did both. I enjoyed it so much I have more plans for similar trips in the future, including another further north in Scotland.</span><br />

<b><u><span style="font-size: large;">The boat</span></u></b><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span>
</span><span style="font-size: large;">With the Ally out I looked at the idea of an inflatable kayak. These would be lighter than the Ally, have a smaller pack size, and should be quick to assemble. Inflatable kayaks have a terrible reputation in the UK but actually, there are some really, really, good ones out there now. The good ones aren't cheap and they're certainly not pool toys. Most of the kayaks I looked at were of traditional design and would be no good for carrying a bike, trailer and all the rest of my gear. They were 'kayak shaped' and would have been very unstable with such a heavy load up high on the deck, even if there was room. I looked deeper and came across an American manufacturer that made the Sea Eagle range of kayaks, even better they have a <a href="https://shop.spindriftltd.com/fast-track-kayaks-18-c.asp" target="_blank">UK distributor</a>. Looking at their range I could see some models that had features ideal for my trip. I was particularly interested in the Sea Eagle 385 Fast Track. The Fast Track is one of their more performance orientated kayaks but still had the features I needed -</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Open deck for easy loading and storage of gear.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Flat bottom hull for stability with heavy loads (even when heavily loaded I think it's nearly impossible to capsize this boat!).</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Shaped, and tapered, bow for good progress through big waves and strong winds. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Multiple air-filled tubes should it spring a leak. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Big enough for 2 people on day trips, or at a squeeze 2 people and camping gear, it's certainly big enough for carrying 1 tall lanky person (me!) + folding bike + trailer + all the camping gear in comfort.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Comfortable seats (I get a sore back in a packraft very quickly but I never did in these seats).</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Footrest option (really important when paddling hard).</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Plenty of attachment points for gear and a sail.</span></li>
</ul>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><u>The bike</u></b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The bike was easy as I already had the <a href="http://airnimal.eu/products/joey/sport/#.XhHdei2cZQI" target="_blank">Airnimal Joey</a>. Folding bikes are always a compromise between packed size, weight and riding performance. For folders packed size and weight are normally the priority and it shows... Simply, most folders ride like pigs! No way would I have wanted to do this trip with something like a Brompton. Actually, I think it would be dangerous to attempt this on a bike like that. The trailer, fully loaded, was around 30kg and when descending steep and long hills that weight is pushing on the rear of the bike and you can really feel it. You need excellent and reliable brakes and bikes with 16" wheels, and rim brakes, would soon overheat. M</span><span style="font-size: large;">y biggest concern with this rig was losing control of the rear wheel on steep descents when braking hard. With 30kg+ pushing from the rear, on a lightly loaded rear wheel, under heavy braking I thought it quite possible to jackknife resulting in a very nasty crash. Because of that I loaded as much weight as possible on the rear rack to keep that tyre firmly on the ground. It worked and no matter how hard I braked the rear wheel never showed any signs of breaking away. The 16" wheels on most folders</span><span style="font-size: large;"> would also have been limiting offroad. I didn't do much single track with this rig but a lot of rough tracks.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">If I could have bought any bike, at any price, I would still pick the Airnimal Joey because it's a folding bike that feels very close to that of a full-sized bike and is absolutely perfect for trips like this.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Airnimal Joey features</span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">24" wheels are close to the standard 26" fitted on (older) mountain bikes.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Good range of tyres suitable for on and off-road.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Mechanical disk brakes front and rear work well in all conditions.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Lots of gears (essential), some folders have less than 6 gears and with this rig you need LOADS! Joeys have normal gearing, or even a Rohloff.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Rides beautifully on and off-road and is very comfortable to ride for long periods. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">The fold isn't the quickest, or smallest, but that didn't matter here.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Uses standard off the shelf components available anywhere.</span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><u>The trailer</u></b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I used the <a href="https://www.burley.com/product/flatbed/" target="_blank">Burley Flatbed Cargo</a> trailer because I already had it and it was the perfect size for the packed Sea Eagle kayak. In many ways, it's a great trailer. It's light, packs completely flat and you hardly know it's there when peddling (except on hills then you really feel that 30kg behind you!). My only issue with it was the towing arm would jam in the frame and couldn't be released without brut force. It wasn't like that when new and it appears the rubber bushes have expanded over time.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Getting all this gear to the start wasn't going to be easy and I soon ruled out public transport, it's just all too heavy and bulky. I ended up getting a oneway car hire to Inverness, dropped my gear off first at a campsite in Beauly, took the car back to Inverness then returned to Beauly on the bus.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<b><u><span style="font-size: large;">Glen Strathfarrar 12-14 Aug</span></u></b><br />
<b><u><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></u></b>
<span style="font-size: large;">Starting in Beauly I took backroads to Struy before heading up Glen Strathfarrar to Loch Monar, it's a private road up there and cars can only get through, with permission, and at set times. Those on foot and bikes can use it anytime. I intended to paddle around Loch Monar but when I arrived there the water level was so low, and the Loch so uninviting, I immediately turned around and headed back to Loch a' Mhuillidh. This is a much smaller Loch but, on this day, much prettier. There I had a very gentle paddle and practised changing from biking to paddling modes before finding a camping spot above its shores. In the morning I paddled right around the Loch before packing up camp and cycling to a campsite at Cannich. The weather was terrible so I ended up staying an extra night on the campsite.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">It was a tough ride down the Great Glen Way, parallel to Loch Ness, on one of the few sections that had proper single track riding. Then it was an easy cycle path and into Glen Garry where I had access to some big Lochs, all of which I paddled. Those Lochs were Loch Garry (paddled twice to miss the busy A87 Skye road), Loch Quoich and Loch Beag (sea loch). On the way back I took a detour up the old Skye road to Glen Loyne which has the dammed Loch Loyne. Loch Loyne is interesting because the old Skye road now disappears into the depths of Loch, pops up briefly on an island (which I camped on), before disappearing again before finally emerging on the far bank. This used to be the main road to Skye but was lost when the dam was built and the waters raised. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">After leaving Glen Garry it was onto Fort William to resupply but I took in Loch Arkaig on the way. There's a small sealed road on the north side of the Loch which I cycled up before paddling back. I camped by the Loch that night. While not many photos from that loch made this blog post Loch Arkaig was actually one of my favourites.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">I really needed to change the brake pads on the bike so took a day off in Fort William to give the bike some TLC. All that weight and steep hills really took it out on the brakes. The following day I took a short ferry trip over to Camusnagaul. I could have paddled across but this is a busy waterway and the sea was rough. I only cycled a few miles that day as the rain was torrential and I was soon soaked to the skin. Sometimes it's better to right off days like that! The following day it was onto Loch Teacuis via Loch Arienas. The original plan was to paddle around the coast from Loch Teacuis into Loch Sunart but it was way too windy and rough for that. Instead, I headed back to Loch Arienas where it was more sheltered and made camp before going out for a paddle.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">From Loch Arienas I took the road to Strontian and stayed in the campsite. I'd timed it about right for the tides so went out for a paddle. Loch Sunart is famous for its Otters and I really wanted to see one but unfortunately, I didn't. Maybe next time!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">At last, the winds had eased and the sun came out. Tomorrow I wanted to get out and do a bit of sea paddling so cycled to Loch Moidart, made camp, then padded for a bit. It was a great day but the tides were all wrong to get out into the sea proper but I hoped the tides and weather would be fine tomorrow, and it was! That day I was able to paddle the classic loop around Eilean Shona and it was a highlight of the trip. This type of boat isn't really a sea kayak so it's only possible in good conditions but it was fine then. That night I camped near the castle at Moidart</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Loch Shiel is a 30km paddle and the longest I'd done so far. It's on Lochs like this that you really appreciate bringing an inflatable kayak over a packraft. Luckily the wind was in my favour and in the afternoon I was even able to get the sail up. One of the highlights was the ruined church on Eilean Fhianain.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Timings for this trip revolved around the Grand Finale which was to be a crossing of the Great Glen Canoe Trail with my friend Clover. Both of us had wanted to do this trail for years. She had set dates so I had to manage my time to fit in with her. I had plenty of spare time so headed over to Aviemore to met up with some old friends for a few days before heading down to, and paddling, Loch Rannoch, Loch Laidon and finally Loch Ericht. Then it was back to Inverness where I would meet up with Clover.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b><u>Great Glen Canoe Trail 24-28 Sept</u></b></span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">This is the national trail of UK canoe routes, think of the West Highland Way but on water. Starting on the West Coast, at Fort William, you head right across the country to Inverness, on the East Coast, using a mixture of Lochs and canals. The canals were built to get military ships from one side of the country to the other, quickly, without having to sail all the way around the northern tip of Scotland. Nowadays it's used mainly by tourist boats, a few fishing boats and kayakers. It's a superb paddle for those of limited experience and I thoroughly recommend it. My only word of caution is while it's mostly easy going you do paddle some very big Lochs, including Loch Ness, and they can easily generate huge sea like waves when windy. Check the weather, pick a sheltered bank to hug and be prepared to stop and sit out the weather if necessary. I did read that inflatable kayaks are not recommended for this trip which of course is a bit of a generalisation and going back to the old days of inflatables only being pool toys. A good inflatable is of course perfectly fine and I paddled in far worse conditions than this on some of the other Lochs. Just be sensible with your choice of craft and know its limitations. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Actually, this was the first time I'd used the Sea Eagle 385 Fast Track with 2 people and we found it only just big enough with camping gear. I certainly had no room for the bike and trailer and had to leave that with friends. There is a larger version of the Fast Track which might be better for 2 people + gear. Also, having the extra weight of 2 people did change its performance a little and I found it took on water easier in rough conditions as it now pushed through the bigger waves rather than rode over them. It wasn't a big issue but it was a wetter experience for sure. </span></div>

It's now 2020 and I'm adding in that missing content in a more photo-based blog post, this trip was from 2017*</b><br /><br /> This trip didn't go well for a number of reasons and was abandoned early on. It would have been easy to just erase this memory by not blogging about it but trips don't always go to plan and it's those trips that we learn most from.</span><a name='more'></a><span style="font-size: large;">The plan had been straightforward enough. I would hike from the most northerly point of mainland Norway to its most southerly, then cycle around Europe to the most northerly part of mainland UK. It was then, and still is, a great trip idea.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I had always been worried about the timings for this trip and the lack of slack to allow for unforeseen issues, like weather, illness and motivation (all 3 of which I experienced). There wasn't much I could do about the start date as that was dictated by the Arctic winter. Starting as early as possible, in June, left just enough time for the 7500km hike/bike, but no slack. I knew it would be tough but in a normal year, it would be possible. Unfortunately for me 2017 wasn't a normal year and areas that should have been snow-free still had 1.5m+ of snow coverage! I knew snow was still an issue before setting off so had packed snowshoes but I still remember being shocked, on the flight north from Oslo, when seeing at least 1000km of unbroken snow right up to the tip of Norway. Even assuming the melt started immediately it would take many weeks to clear that amount of snow. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Soon after starting I began to wonder if I'd made an enormous error with my start date! However, a local reindeer herder I met on day 2 reassured me when he said he'd not experienced this much snow for 40yrs. </span><span style="font-size: large;">As beautiful as it was out there, and it was an unforgettable experience, it was soon obvious there was no way I would hike the length of Norway in the 3 months I'd allowed. After 5 great, but slow, days I made the tough decision to abandon and fly back to Oslo, where there was no snow. From Oslo I would hike north, to its northern tip, before flying back to Oslo to start the bike section. In the hiking world, this is called flipping and I hate flipping! Flipping is popular on hikes like the PCT and CDT as it allows you to do all sections in more ideal conditions. It allows you to hike the desert sections in cooler conditions, hike the snowy sections after its cleared, etc. That's great, and I don't have an issue with those that do it that way, but I like my trips to be a continuous journey from start to finish. Flipping just isn't for me and as soon as I did my motivation vanished. Also, starting in Oslo just didn't feel right. It is on a fjord, so technically it was ok, but there's a lot more of Norway further south than Oslo and a hike the length of Norway, starting from Oslo, made me uneasy. On top of all this, since day 1, I'd not been well. I was usually ok when hiking but in the morning I would have an upset stomach and just felt ill. This happened every morning. What I didn't know then is that I have an intolerance to some foods, and that food was what I was carrying on this hike. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I did hike north from Oslo, for around a week, but when I got to Lillehammer I decided to stop and call it a day. I did that knowing this trip wouldn't be really over, I would come back. I did return the following year and hiked the length of Norway successfully, but that's for another post.</span><br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;">*This is one of many trips that didn't get posted when I all but abandoned this blog back in 2015. It's now 2019 and I'm adding in that missing content in a more photo-based blog post, this trip was from 2016*</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b>
<span style="font-size: large;">After last years poor showing on the Continental Divide Trail (CDT), which ended in a fractured foot, it's now time for a 2nd attempt. Like last year I would hike south which I'm convinced is the best way for any CDT hike. Why? Well, a northbound hike will likely hit heavy snowpack, leftover from winter, forcing a compromised route through some of the best hiking that the CDT has to offer in Colorado. 90% of hikers will head north and securing permits can be an issue for the busy Yellowstone and Glacier National Parks. However, for me, the main reason for my southbound hike was I didn't want to experience an overcrowded trail like I had on my previous hike across the USA, on the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT). I love hiking in the USA because of the true wilderness that we just don't have in Europe and large numbers of other hikers can spoil that for me</span><span style="font-size: large;">. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-size: large;">Hiking southbound does have its own issues and it can feel like a bit of a race. You will almost certainly have some snow on the higher passes in Glacier and you are straight into high mountains so is a harder start than the flat deserts of southern New Mexico. However, the snows in Glacier should be nothing like you will experience in Colorado and after that first week, you probably won't need your snow gear again. Mostly though the issue with a southbound hike is that you really need to clear Colorado by the end of September or winter can end your hike. Clearing Colorado is the single biggest issue for any southbound hike and it will always be in the back of your mind. It will affect your route choice and you may end up taking shorter routes, rather than the best route, to save time. Speaking of routes, one of the great things about the CDT is the many options, while there is an official route there are also thousands of optional add-ons which means that almost everyone will hike a slightly different CDT. In good weather then you might take in a 4000m+ summit, feeling a bit tired then you can take a lower valley route. Most days on the CDT you have those choices which make this a very different hiking experience to that of the PCT. <br /><br />A question I'm often asked is how hard the CDT is and how does it compare to the PCT? The CDT is known to be a tough trail and it is certainly a harder hike than the PCT. You do need better mountain skills for sure, but physically I found the CDT only a little tougher, particularly if you spend most of your time on the official route. Be warned though that some of the optional routes can really change that. Overal both the PCT and CDT are fairly easy trails to hike when I compare them to some of my other hikes, on a scale of 1 to 10 I would place the PCT as a 5 and the CDT as 6 or 7. For comparison, my hike the length of Norway is a 10.</span><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Onto the CDT post! This is a long post, with over 200 photos, but it's impossible to compress a 5000km hike, of this beauty, into less and still get a good feel for it. Even so, this post does not cover many areas of the CDT. The CDT is a truely incredible trail and certainly one of my hiking highlights.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b><u>Glacier National Park - Montana - 23 June</u></b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">There are 2 starting points for the CDT with the official being Waterton Park and the other is the much more accessible point of Chief Mountain. Which you choose will likely be dictated by your start date and snow conditions. It was an easy choice for me because Waterton was still closed so the only permits being issued were for Chief Mountain. Glacier National Park is known for its beauty and it doesn't disappoint, it's also known for its bears. I've been twice now and I've always seen bears, grizzlies and blacks. I recommend carrying bear spray in Glacier, and indeed it's wise to carry spray until at least Colorado on the CDT. Glacier National Park is a very popular hiking destination and you should try and organise permits well in advance (April is a good time), those that left it late sometimes had to camp many miles off route.</span><br />

<b><u><span style="font-size: large;">Helena National Forest - Montana - 8 July</span></u></b><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">This is a much easier section but being at lower altitude it's a lot hotter and water can be hard to find. With the scenery being decidedly average, not many photos have made it in this post. Helena was where I was forced to abandon the previous year so it was good to arrive in excellent physical condition.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Wow, just wow! This was an unexpected section and a real pleasure to hike. Really quiet hiking in the grandest of surroundings. Challenging but totally worth it. The 2nd half of this section is along the Idaho/Montana border before dropping down to the desert town of Leadore.</span><br />

<b><u><span style="font-size: large;">Leadore - Idaho - 30 July</span></u></b><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The plan had been for a quick 1/2 day rest/resupply in Leadore before getting back on the trail. There were a few other hikers in Leadore so that evening we settled down for a pizza and had a lovely evening. The following day I found a lot of very ill-looking hikers, food poisoning they said. I felt fine so set off but I'd only been on the trail a few minutes when I came across 2 more hikers looking very sick and heading back to town, food poisoning they said. Still, I felt fine. Fast forward a few hours and I no longer felt fine, I felt terrible! Too far from town I settled down for a miserable camp and woke up feeling even worse. I had no choice but to slowly head back to town. I was stuck in that town for 6 days recovering from that pizza! Leadore is a desert town and the hiking around the hills there is semi-desert, its hot, dusty and dry. The only water you will find is from cow troughs.</span><br />

<b><u><span style="font-size: large;">Yellowstone - Wyoming - 8 Aug</span></u></b><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">There can be few places as well known as Yellowstone National Park and I was certainly looking forward to my first visit. I really wanted to see Bison and of course the Geysers, I saw the Geysers but didn't see any Bison. Actually, Yellowstone was a bit of a disappointment as it's a very popular hiking destination so camping permits can be an issue and the section of Yellowstone the CDT passes through was badly damaged by fire a few years ago and is only just recovering. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The Parting of the Waters is an interesting place where the waters divide, more or less equally, west to the Pacific ocean, or east to the Atlantic ocean.

<b><u><span style="font-size: large;">Brooks Lake - Shoshone National Forest - Wyoming - 13 Aug</span></u></b><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">One of the big issues with wilderness hiking is resupply. I'm happy carrying 7-10 days food (14 at a pinch) but even then resupplying can mean making a 60mi+ trip, each way, which will normally mean at least one hitch. You can waste a lot of time resupplying. One way of reducing this is to send supply parcels ahead to the more remote places, be that Ranches, Hotels, or in this case a Luxury Lodge. Brooks Lake Lodge is a very high-end place where no hiker could afford to stay but they happily take food parcels for CDT hikers for no cost and knowing that they will make no money out of us. To places like that, I would like to say thank you!</span><br />

<b><u><span style="font-size: large;">Great Divide Basin - Wyoming - 19 Aug</span></u></b><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The Continental Divide splits in central Wyoming and the CDT follows the eastern rim of the Basin. In the Basin, it's hot, very dry and the roads are straight and seemingly never-ending! Down there there's no shade and you walk from dawn to dusk. No point stopping earlier as its too hot to pitch a tent before dark. Any drinkable water comes from cattle troughs. It's here my 2nd set of shoes finally died, they did well at 1000mi.</span><br />

<b><u><span style="font-size: large;">Northern Colorado - 28 Aug</span></u></b><br />
<b><u><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></u></b></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">After hiking in the Basin it's a relief to finally cross into Colorado and get back in the mountains. Hiking in Colorado is probably the highlight of any southbound CDT hike and once you clear Colorado then it's unlikely winter will stop you finishing your CDT hike. Finally, that pressure to get here quickly that you've felt since day 1 will be over! The trail through Colorado is often very high but always mountainous. Expect to be hiking at 10-14000ft and if winter should arrive before you clear these mountains then, at the very least, you will have to drastically change your plans. The snows did come, and the remains of a hurricane, but it wasn't full winter or a show stopper.</span><br />

<b><u><span style="font-size: large;">Mount Zirkel Wilderness - Colorado - 29 Aug</span></u></b><br />
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Colorado starts off fairly tame and eases you into the altitude. One of the major issues with a Northbound hike, after the snowpack, is electrical storms. Colorado's electrical storms are insane! I discovered just how bad they can be on my Colorado Trail hike in 2011 and its something I've never forgotten. Fortunately for those hiking south the worst will be over by the time you arrive. Another good reason to hike south!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b><u>Grays Peak - Roosevelt National Forest - Colorado - 7 Sept</u></b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">At 14262ft Grays Peak is the highest point on the official CDT route and is also a very popular peak to climb in general. While in the UK we may "bag" Munros or Wainwrights, in Colorado you "bag" the 14000ft Peaks. Any peak of 14000ft or greater will likely be busy and the climb up Grays Peak felt like the tourist route up Ben Nevis, just with less oxygen! Once off the summit, you will soon be alone on a superb high altitude ridge walk.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b><u>Copper Mountain - Colorado - 11 Sept</u></b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">There are many ski resorts in Colorado and some even produce their own snow for the summer. It's odd hiking in 30C temperatures while watching people ski. My first thought was, perhaps oddly, how much energy must it waste to produce and maintain this snow year-round.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">San Luis Peak isn't on the official route but is easily accessible from the CDT. I first climbed this peak in 2011 on the Colorado Trail and loved its quiet isolation. Peaks over 14000ft will likely be busy with "baggers" but this peak, at only 13993ft, is largely ignored because it's 7ft too short... Like last time I had this peak all to myself.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Creede is another place I had visited on the Colorado Trail and it is a lovely old mining town. No mining is done nowadays, just tourism, but unlike many places it still feels like a genuine mining town. Here I had to make a big decision over route choices. The main route takes a spectacular way through the San Juan mountains and is quite possibly the best hiking on the CDT. Unfortunately, the weather had other ideas and was telling me that the remnants of a hurricane would be passing over Colorado bringing 5 days of gales with blizzard conditions on the summits. There is another official route that cuts out these mountains and stays a little lower and should be much safer in bad weather. The choice wasn't about taking the San Juan route, that was clearly out right now, but if I should stay put for 5 days and then see how much snow had been dumped. But to be honest, I didn't fancy sitting put for so long, particularly after already taking 6 days off sick in Leadore. Reluctantly I took the lower route.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The CDT crosses Route 17 highway at Cumbres Pass (Colorado) and I needed to get into Chama (New Mexico) to resupply. From Cumbres you have 3 options, hike 20km each way, hitch, or take the tourist steam train. Given it was early morning the steam train comes through in the afternoon that was out. I wasn't keen on an extra 20km hike down into the hot desert, so hitch it was. Unfortunately, nobody wanted to stop and give me a lift! After about an hour I was joined by 3 other hikers which would only make hitching harder. Another hour later and still no luck but then a lovely couple stopped and picked us all up, drove us into town, then drove us around town doing our chores before finally taking us all out for dinner! Well worth the wait and it's moments like this that you never forget. Thank you! </span></div>

<b><u><span style="font-size: large;">Carson National Forest - New Mexico - 01 Oct</span></u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The first few days in New Mexico are surprisingly mountainous before gradually dropping into the desert. On a southbound hike, the desert is actually very pleasant at this time of year. The desert is also surprisingly beautiful and not at all like what you experience on the PCT in southern California.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The Gila is known for its river, monsters (a lizard) and its cliff dwellings dating from the late 1200's. The new official CDT route misses out the river and these dwellings but most CDT hikers take the old route which does go to these places. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">South of Cuba is where you enter the desert proper. Most peoples idea of the desert is probably deep golden sand, with no living creatures, but most deserts are not like that at all. They have a certain beauty that I love and are packed with life of all types. Cactus, snakes, tarantulas, scorpions and many lizards are but a few that call this home, along with a surprising number of mammals.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Lordsburg is the final town on the CDT. I resupplied and stayed in the motel overnight and then set off to the border. Any hiking near the border can be potentially hazardous because there some issues with drug gangs and illegals coming over the border and there's also a lot of heavily armed border guards patrolling the area. It's not recommended to hike alone and by chance, I met up with the guy I'd walked the first couple of weeks with, with way back in Glacier. We ended up walking this section and finishing together.</span></div>

<b><span style="font-size: large;">*This is one of many trips that didn't get posted when I all but abandoned this blog back in 2015. It's now 2019 and I'm adding in that missing content in a more photo-based blog post, this trip was from 2015*</span></b><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />After the disappointment of abandoning the CDT, with a fractured foot, I was looking for a trip that could be done while the healing process continued. Hiking trips were still not possible but my doctor said I would be ok to cycle in stiff cycling shoes. Great, but I'm not sure he had a 2600km cycle tour in mind! </span><br />
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-size: large;">For once there wasn't really a plan for this trip but I had about 6 weeks. I'd always fancied cycling the Pennine Bridleway so thought that would make a good start, then I'd re-role the bike to a more mixed-road configuration, strap-on a packraft and head north. Turned out to be a great idea and just what I needed!<br /><br /><u><b>Trip Route and Stats</b></u><br /><br />The route I took can be viewed in more detail and downloaded <a href="http://www.shareyouradventure.com/map/59237/Tramplite/Fixie-foot-tour-">here</a><br /><br />My start was the nearest train station to the Pennine Bridleway (Cromford) and the finish was the train station in Perth.<br /><br /><b>The official stats of the route are (recorded by Garmin GPS)</b> <br /><br />Distance 2636km<br />Ascent 24728m<br />Cycling Days 40</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><u><b>Pennine Bridleway</b></u><br /><br />For the first few days, I had company with my good friend Shirley. Unfortunately, Shirley hadn't cycled for a few years and given that the Pennine Bridleway is quite challenging we soon released this was not going to be enjoyable so we departed from the official route and joined the Sustrans cycle network, mostly parallel, through the Yorkshire Dales. A full Pennine Bridleway ride would have to remain on my list for a few more years (finally cycled it end-end in 2019).</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />I'm based near York so headed that way to convert the bike from its full off-road configuration, of a suspension fork and wide supper grippy off-road tyres, to something more suitable for general cycling. A fixed fork along with slicker tyres were fitted and while the bike (Thorn Nomad) could still do challenging off-road in this configuration it would be much more pleasant to ride on mixed surfaces. The route home to York took me past the Black Sheep Brewery so it would have been rude not to stop... Also, it happened to be the Ripley Scarecrow Festival.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">The route continues up the coast then through Edinburgh, once over the Forth it's onto Route 76, then 766 around Fife, and onto Perth. From Perth, I headed west and picked up Route 7 at Lochearnhead. Route 7 would take you directly to Inverness but I had friends to visit in Grantown-on-Spey so took a long way around. From Inverness Route 1 heads north to Lairg where I turned west up to near Cape Wrath. Once in Scotland wild camping was very easy and I even got the Packraft out a few times.</span></div>

<u><b><span style="font-size: large;">Cape Wrath to Orkney</span></b></u><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">From Durness, the route goes west to Tongue where you pick up Route 1 to Thurso. From Thurso, I took the ferry over to Orkney. Orkney was an amazing place but not the greatest place to cycle. It had relatively busy roads and I found it difficult to camp, however, the place is packed with history and well worth a visit.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Heading back south towards Inverness I varied the route as much as possible, had I stuck to the Sustrans cycle network then I would have been travelling over a lot of old ground. From Inverness, I again picked up Route 1 and followed it east along the Moray coast and then south down past Aberdeen and Dundee and onto Perth, where this cycle ride would finish.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">For the last few years the blog side of this site has been missing and that's purely down to my laziness! I really don't enjoy writing blog posts, they take way too much time and others do it far better! Nevertheless, I do want my trips to be recorded in some form, and I have enjoyed looking back at my previous trip reports. I often wonder why I take photos on my trips when they never get seen, I've 10’s of thousands of unedited photos sitting on hard drives! But I do enjoy taking photos and I need to find a good compromise between a conventional blog and a simple social media </span>service like Instagram. Instagram works fine for a here-and-now kind of post but isn't much good for the longer-term. A<span style="font-family: inherit;">s a trial I plan to restart the blog here but make it more photo based, with minimal words, and see how that works for me. It will start where the old blog left off, in 2015, and that </span>content <span style="font-family: inherit;">will be added over the next few weeks/months. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">This is a rare opportunity to get the latest 2019 Tramplite Backpacker shelter, with no wait! I have new, slight 2nd quality, outer complete with 1st quality inner that I'm offering at a £55 discount (10% reduction on outer). Unfortunately I had a bad day and there was a minor sewing mishap when fitting the zip leading to some additional holes in the DCF fabric, oops! This has been professionally, and permanently, repaired with an additional strip of DCF fabric, sewn and bonded, into the zip assembly during manufacture. It will not affect performance, or shelter life, and is almost invisible.</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> This shelter is ready to go with </span>next day<span style="font-family: inherit;"> delivery and all normal warranties will apply. This shelter will be offered to those on my email list first, if unsold by 18th Mar it will then be available to all.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Tramplite shelters began as a MYOG (Make Your Own Gear) project in 2013 for my New Zealand Te Araroa hike because I was increasingly underwhelmed with commercial Cuben Fiber shelters (Cuben Fiber has since been renamed Dyneema Composite Fabrics or DCF). I wanted a small, light, but stormproof shelter and many failed when it came to the last point as, generally, DCF shelters are designed in the USA for use below tree-line. Unhappy with what was available I made my own. That original shelter was a huge success and that design has been further refined over 10000’s miles hiking, cycling and paddling north of the Arctic Circle in Norway/Sweden/Finland, Scotland, England and USA. Version 2 was released in late 2016 that saw further refinements to the outer and the ability for the inner and outer to be pitched as a single unit. The much-requested option of an extended, lower, front door was added and has become standard on all 2019 shelters. 2017 saw additional options of inner tent pockets, 2 styles of groundsheet protectors and an extreme weather kit. The extreme weather kit and inner pockets are now standard on all 2019 shelters.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b style="font-family: inherit;"><u>Solo Backpacker Lite</u></b> <br /><br /><span style="font-family: inherit;">This is the original Tramplite extended zipped doored shelter, updated for 2019, and is for the ultralight hiker looking for class-leading performance at the lowest weight. The Backpacker Lite is the shelter that <a href="http://www.tramplite.com/p/about-me_6.html">Tramplite</a> has personally used on every hike since 2013. It’s been trail tested over 10000’s miles in Scotland, New Zealand and Arctic Scandinavia, among others. It’s tough, very light and resists wind well. For 2019 a new 2-way venting zip is fitted, tougher Hybrid-DCF dome and a </span>simpler<span style="font-family: inherit;"> automatic zip strain relief system. 4 external guys are now standard on the Backpacker Lite and the new, exclusive to Tramplite, Backbone System (see Solo Backpacker for details) can be fitted as an optional extra if you need even better foul weather performance. The Backpacker Lite requires a minimum of 7 pegs (full pitch, including external guys, requires 10).</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b><u>Solo Backpacker</u></b> <br /><br />The Backpacker is new for 2019 and is an uprated version of the Backpacker Lite for those that need exceptional poor weather performance at the lowest possible weight. The Backpacker features 4 extra pegging points, to keep those panels really taut and reduce flapping, and all pegging points use heavier duty Hybrid-DCF fabric. The front porch has extra weather protection with a new 2 position door that can be operated, without ever leaving your sleeping bag, using a simple pulley system (a conventional and slightly lighter guy can be fitted, if preferred). The Backpacker is supplied fitted with the new, and exclusive to Tramplite shelters, Backbone System which uses the 2nd hiking pole as a brace for the rear panel without requiring any additional hardware (pole extenders etc). This unique system places the 2nd hiking pole handle into the outer dome, effectively creating a big hinge, and the tip end is locked in place by the external guying system. The Backbone System really stiffens up the structure and takes the performance of the Tramplite Solo Backpacker to a new level for such a light shelter. The Backpacker requires a minimum of 7 pegs (</span><span style="font-size: large;">full pitch, including external guys, requires 14</span><span style="font-size: large;">).</span><br />

<span style="color: #454545; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">New for 2019 both shelters feature a double venting door zip which allows better condensation control when the shelter has to be zipped up in particularly foul weather. Also new is the zip strain relief system which automatically reduces the tension on the zip as you tighten the front door guy, no more messing around with buckles! Both shelters feature adjustable Line-locs, on all pegging points, that uses a unique Dyneema cord arrangement that will never slip. The front and rear guys use mini Clamceat Line-lok's with tough Dyneema cord of a thickness that reduces the likelihood of tangles. The mini-beak gives good rain protection even with both doors open. The inner can be left attached to the outer using a system of shock cord and toggles. There are hanging points to support a bivi bag. A Cuben storage sack is included.</span><br />

Tramplite inners feature a proper bathtub floor, with fully sealed seams, and have a ’T’ zipped door arrangement which allows better access to the inner. All inners have solid side and rear panels, to keep off drafts and condensation, while the front doors have a solid lower panel with a mesh upper for ventilation.

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">At Tramplite Gear we are only interested in supplying you with the finest kit. Both shelters use tough 0.74oz DCF for the outer fabric and inner base. Outer zips are water-resistant YKK No 3. The dome is lined with Hybrid-DCF fabric. The solid inner uses a very breathable, high quality, 30D yellow coloured nylon fabric and all mesh is midge-proof. Webbing and hardware fittings are the finest available.</span></div>

<b><u><span style="font-size: large;">Optional Groundsheet Protectors</span></u></b><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /><span style="font-family: inherit;">DCF is tough but not very abrasion resistant and unless pitching on grass a groundsheet protector is recommended. We can supply simple custom-sized protectors in lightweight clear plastic or Tyvek. Tyvek has superb puncture resistance, is almost indestructible, and is recommended for areas where you will likely be camping on sharp rocks, or around spiky plants (desert campers this is for you!). Plastic is much lighter, completely waterproof, and offers good abrasion resistance, but has less puncture protection. At Tramplite Gear we’ve tried many different plastics over the years and these are the best by far. Plastic won’t last as long as Tyvek, and if punctured must be taped before it tears, but with minimal care, I normally get at least 1 long hike (5-6 months) from each protector - <b>NOTE</b> this is continuous use and it is likely you will get many years of more normal use. We bond all edges of our clear plastic protectors to help prevent rips and if you do puncture them they are easily patched with most tapes.</span><br /><br /><b><u>The Tramplite Way</u></b></span><br />
<span style="color: #454545; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #454545; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Tramplite shelters are designed, and expertly handmade, in the UK with exposed Northern European conditions in mind, that alone makes them unique. Every shelter has been designed, tested, and built by a hiker of considerable experience who still manages to hike 4-5 months/year and the shelters you see here are identical to the shelters used, and continuously developed, on those hikes. Tramplite shelters are very light but strong, fully weatherproof (including taped seams) and remarkably stable for the weight. These shelters are premium products and no compromises are made in the selection of materials or construction methods. Most manufacturers simply stick their shelters together with double-sided tape leading to designs that are weaker, and pitch less taut, than a Tramplite shelter. Simply, if you want to resist wind effectively then you need a tough and taut shell. With a Tramplite shelter, every major seam is rolled twice, double sewn and finally over-bonded. This gives an immensely tough seam, comprising of a minimum 6 individual layers of DCF, that is immune to fabric de-lamination while allowing immense pressure to be applied to the pegging/guying points (which are directly attached to the seams). With shelters that are stuck together, you are effectively only bonding the 2 outer faces of plastic film together and any de-lamination of the DCF fabric can lead to catastrophic failures. Any shelter built this way and used on exposed sites, and in consistently high winds, is more likely to delaminate over time but even when new, and performing as designed, is still much weaker than a Tramplite and will flap easily. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">
<br />
So why are most DCF shelters simply stuck together? Profit! You can build 3 of those shelters in the time it takes Tramplite Gear to lovingly craft 1. For the customer, there are no advantages other than sometimes a cheaper price.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><i>"Why are your DCF shelters so expensive?"</i> is a question we are often asked. Actually, Tramplite DCF shelters are incredibly cheap given the expense of the fabrics, the quality of the product, and the experience of the team. All DCF fabric comes from a single factory in the USA and has to be imported. By the time DCF arrives with us, it costs around £35/m. A solo Tramplite shelter uses 9m of DCF giving a total DCF fabric cost of £315. Add to that the specialist adhesives, other fabrics/webbings/fittings and you see there's not a lot left. And that's before our time is added in. Most DCF manufacturers are based in the USA and don't have to pay postage and import duties, most manufacturers sell a compromised product and stick their shelters together with double-sided tape. We don't do that at Tramplite Gear.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">DCF shelters will normally last one long thru-hike, it's likely there will still be some life in the product but not enough to take on another long thru-hike. One long thru-hike is considered to be PCT/CDT sized (4-5000km) and around 5-6 months of continuous use. For the more normal hiker, this will be many years! You can be kind to your shelter by not leaving it pitched in sunlight more than necessary, drying it carefully after each use, and cleaning the zips regularly. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">The Lake District is a National Park and UNESCO World Heritage Site in Northern England. Famous for its outstanding beauty, Lakes, Fells (mountains) and the writings of William Wordsworth, Beatrix Potter and John Ruskin among others.</span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">

<div style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #454545; font-family: inherit;">In 1952 Alfred Wainwright began a 13 year project producing the famous “Pictorial Guides to the Lakeland Fells”. In this seven volume series he identified 214 Fells which have become known as the Wainwrights. Many walkers like to climb all these Fells, called bagging, and that normally takes many years. A few hikers have been known to tackle all 214 Fells in one trip and a couple of Fell runners have done the same, only quicker. Lesser know is Alfred’s 8th book called the “Outlying Fells of Lakeland” which was written some 8 years later. These 116 additional Fells often aren’t as grand as the Wainwrights and are sometimes in the furthest corners of the park, and occasionally even outside the park. Being much less famous, and often miles away from anywhere, they aren’t bagged as often. </span><span style="color: #454545; font-family: inherit;">Surprisingly, as far as I can tell, nobody has ever done a continuous hike of the Outlying Fells.</span></span></div>

<div style="color: #454545; line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">The seed for me hiking the Wainwrights had been sewn many years ago when a friend of mine attempted them but unfortunately was unsuccessful. A few years later another friend watered that seed when they expressed their wish to hike them but for a number of reasons that hasn’t happened yet. While I don’t consider myself a bagger, though some would say I bag trails rather than mountains, something about the Wainwrights appealed and I’ve known for a while now it was only a matter of time before I’d give it a go. However, when I began planning it became apparent that this could be a far greater hike if you combined all the Wainwrights, and the Outlying Fells, into one super hike covering 330 Lakeland Fells. </span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px; text-align: justify;">

</div>
<div style="color: #454545; line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">The Lake District covers 2362 square kilometres and with those 330 Fells crammed into such a small area planning is the key to a successful hike. It took many weeks of winter evenings studying maps and aerial photography to come up with a practical, and efficient, route linking all the Fells together that allowed reasonably easy resupply. I started with record breaker Steve Birkinshaw Fell running route, which he has very kindly posted online as a gpx file, and modified that. His route is very roughly planed and as a runner he seemed mainly interested in speed between peaks so this route wasn’t always the best for a backpacker. What his route did give me was a great starting point for efficiently linking the 214 Wainwrights that just needed some refining. To that basic route I then added spurs for the additional 116 Outlying Fells and resupply options. </span></div>

<div style="color: #454545; line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">I plan to start hiking the route on the 23rd April covering 1061km (659mi) and will climb 330 Lakeland Fells with 56225m (184465ft) of elevation gain. I’m not sure how long this will take but I’ve estimated about 6 weeks, time however isn’t an issue.</span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px; text-align: justify;">

<div style="color: #454545; line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">I’ve put together a set of personal rules for this hike :</span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">The hike must be continuous, and always on foot, with the exception of resupply when I may take a bus or train into town. Then, I will always return to the exact same spot and continue, on foot, to maintain the continuity of the hike.</span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">I must visit the summit of all 330 Fells, where possible. Most Fells are on public, or access land, and there should be no issues bagging those. Some are on private land which I have no legal right to access, however it appears most landowners tolerate walkers bagging those Fells. The exception to that is Williamson Monument where the landowner strictly refuses all public access. It’s also possible I may be refused access to other private Fells for a number of reasons (perhaps farming work).</span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="color: #454545; line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="color: #454545; line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">With this in mind I will bag all Fells on public and access land and where possible bag those on private land. If access to private land is refused then I will get as near as I can legally to that Fell. I’m hopeful there will only be access issues with the one Fell already mentioned and I will decide what to do about that when the time arrives.</span></div>

<div style="line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">This years adventure is a little different from my norm and a mixture of hiking and cycling. Starting 1st June I will hike from the tip of northern Norway, for around 2900km, down to the southern tip of Norway and from there swop over to my bicycle and cycle the remaining 4600km to the northern tip of Scotland. At around 7500km this is the longest trip I've undertaken but with a large chunk on the </span>bicycle<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;"> I hope to finish within 5 months, sometime in late October</span><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">. I’m not starting at the absolute most northerly point of mainland Norway, or finishing at the most southerly, but I’ve picked points that are on the coast, reasonably close to the official points, but logistically easier and that fit with my allocated time for the hike. For the hiking route I’ve linked together existing trails, where possible, and made my own up in-between. The first 950km will be north of the Arctic Circle and after my <a href="http://www.tramplite.com/2014/10/arctic-trail-trip-report-part-1.html">previous hike</a> there in 2014 I’m looking forward to returning. The route largely remains in Norway but I do pass into Finland (very briefly) and Sweden (for a section) but I wanted to concentrate on Norway having enjoyed its mountains so much on my previous hike. You will notice a spur down to Oslo on the route map and that is an optional, quicker, route down to the ferry over to Denmark should I get delayed (injured?) and run short of time, I don't intend to use it but it’s there if needed. There’s actually quite a lot of information out there on hiking Scandinavia end-end and it looks like around 10 people/year attempt it, mostly heading north, though I’m not aware of anybody thats then cycled back to Scotland! </span></span></div>

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Planning the cycle section was easy as the North Sea Cycle Route goes exactly where I want and with the exception of an additional section I’ve added in through Belgium, France and southern England it’s just a case of following this established route. The 4600km cycling section takes me through Denmark, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, France, England and Scotland. I’ve not cycled at all through the first 5 countries before so that will be new and exciting for me. There are a number of ferry journeys, big and small, on the cycling section but I've tried to limit them to the minimum where possible.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">My first major Make Your Own Gear (MYOG) item was a pack and I've never used a commercial one since. Tramplite packs have evolved beyond recognition since that early example but the core principle of being as light as possible, while still comfort, remains. My 2017 packs have had a major update with a new frame design, increased ventilation and some additional new features.</span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Tramplite packs feature an adjustable, internal, tensioned carbon fibre frame. This is comprised of 2 carbon rods held in an arc by a length of adjustable cord. Packs are custom sized to the user but the adjustable arc allows some variation in pack back length and pack shape. Tightening both frames shortens the back length but pushes the pack further away from the body, so ventilation is increased - nice if you have a light pack and are hiking in a hot environment. Lengthening the frame raises the straps and pulls the pack closer to the body - perfect for carrying heavy loads. Each side of the frame can be adjusted individually, if you have one shoulder/hipbone higher then the other then you will appreciate this! Adjustments can be made, on trail, without emptying the pack. In addition there are 4 horizontal carbon rods, on the back panel, that keep the pack shape, help vent the lower back, and transfer the load directly to the hipbelt. The curved back panel doesn't touch the lower back to allow for ventilation, the upper of the pack is in contact with the back but is covered in 3D mesh for comfort. The vertical frames can be easily removed for lightweight trips, or if you prefer a frameless pack, saving 31g. The horizontal rods are not removeable.</span></span></div>

If you over-stress it, chip it, kneel on it, trap it in a car door, sit on it, etc etc, then it can fracture. A fractured frame is easily replaced on your return and can be splinted on trail. Worst case the frame can be removed and the pack used as a conventional frameless pack. If you are heavy on gear then carbon fibre may not be for you and I can offer a slightly heavier but much tougher (and stiffer) fibreglass frame at no additional cost.</i></b></span></span></div>

Pack capacity, of both packs, can be further increased using accessories. Packs have side and rear volume compression cords, 40L packs have a simple single cord side compression system while the 50L pack has a full side compression system from top of pack to side pocket.</span></span></span></div>

This is a feature you will appreciate if you do really long hikes and, as far as I’m aware, exclusive to Tramplite packs (Gossamer Gear used to have open straps years ago). This medical grade Evazote foam is held in 2 clipped chambers and then covered in 3mm 3D mesh for ventilation and additional padding. You could vary the amount of padding in each chamber, or remove it completely (there really isn't much need for padding in the lower chamber), and replace it completely should it get thin on a long hike. Shoulder straps adjust using linelocs and nylon covered dyneema cord threaded so they never slip, even after 3000mi continuous hiking on the CDT I never had to re-adjust these straps. Should the cord ever wear out it's easily replaced without tools.</span></span></span></div>

Side pockets are ice axe compatible, slot your ice axe through the side compression cord and the shaft fits through a slit in the side pocket base. Having your axe here allows access without removing your pack. There are also 2 conventional ice axe loops on the rear if you prefer your axe there. The rear mesh pocket uses a tougher mesh than on many lightweight packs but it's the lightest that I've failed to tear on a long multi-month hike.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /><b><u>Manufacture/materials</u></b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large; text-align: justify;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large; text-align: justify;">Packs are individually handmade in the UK, by Tramplite, using the finest materials from around the world. My background is in aeronautical engineering where doing every job correctly, and to a standard above the norm, is all I knew for 23 yrs. That's something I try and bring to my packs.</span></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Packs are currently made from 210 denier Gridstop Fabric as it’s one of the best pack fabrics available and most suited to these packs. All seams are at least double sewn, many are triple sewn, and some parts are bonded. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Packs are available in a single colour of jet black or grey, or a twin colour of jet black (straps, backpanel, hipbelt) and your choice of autumn orange, slate blue, moss green for everything else.</span><br />
<b><u><br /></u></b>
<b><u><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Standard features</span></u></b><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Packs come with a built-in safety whistle on the top opening, 3 position adjustable chest strap (removable), daisy chain webbing on straps and hipbelt for pockets and other accessories.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The hipbelt has 2 clips for directly attaching Tramplite accessories. I use 2 accessories on my hikes, a 4L waterbag (for desert crossings), and if I need to increase pack capacity then my bear food hanging bag attaches directly, and can carry another 5-7 days food. Carrying heavy items, like 4ltr water, up front has a number of advantages in balance and space saving and whatever you carry up front, when attached directly to the hipbelt, will not be felt on your shoulders. Other items that could be carried here are a packraft or heavy camera system. </span><br />

The tips of the hiking poles slip into a cord brace which is attached to the bottom of the pack. This gives you a solid backrest that will stay put on any surface (on a particularly smooth surface, such as flat sun baked mud, I recommend fastening the hipbelt to stop the pack bottom sliding).</span></span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-size: large;">When building a pack I will assume the upper edge of the hipbelt will sit 2.5cm above your iliac crest, this is normally regarded as the ideal position for a hipbelt. In this position, with a lightly loaded pack, the shoulder straps will normally be a little higher than the tops of your shoulders. We are, however, all different and you may prefer your hipbelt elsewhere. Where your hipbelt sits obviously alters the pack back length so it’s important to let me know if you like your hipbelt to sit higher or lower than 2.5cm above your iliac crest. For instance some female hikers prefer the hipbelt to sit much higher than this.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-size: large;">A Medium belt has 76 cm of padding, and 38 cm of webbing. It will adjust from 82-114 cm. This adjustment allows space in front of the padding for the buckle. If you are within the Adjusts range then the belt should fit fine. Even if you are near the lower limit there is no need to size down. The exception to this is if you are near the lower limit and expect to drop weight, in that case size down so that you have room for adjustment. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">After getting the all-clear last week to do anything other than running, or heavy hiking, I’ve decided to go away on the bike for a while and ease the foot back into outdoor action. Hiking isn't a realistic option just yet (foot needs another 4 weeks) so I’ve decided to cycle/packraft instead. Part 1 of my tour is 330km of off-road biking along the Pennine Bridleway, before returning home, to fit more road friendly tires and the packraft and cycle north. I don’t have much of a plan at this stage, and I have no idea know how long I will go for, but it’s just nice to be getting out there again.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Sometimes hikes just don’t turn out as planed and unfortunately that’s been the case with the CDT. Regrettably I’ve been back in the UK for 3 weeks, with a fractured foot, after only covering 307mi of Montana (around 1/10th of the total CDT). Things had been going so well and I was already a couple of days ahead of schedule, conditions were perfect with snow levels throughout Glacier National Park the lowest they'd been for years. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><a name='more'></a></span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">My problems began with a decision to stick to the official CDT route around Benchmark Ranch as I wasn't resupplying there, unlike 99.9% of other CDT hikers. That decision proved costly and took me on a section of trail that was rarely hiked. It was plastered with blowdowns (fallen trees over the trail) and it was crossing one of these, on a particularly treacherous and steep section, where I stumbled and jammed my foot hard between some branches. One of those branches pierced the upper of my right hiking shoe, I cursed but as there was little pain I thought I had got away rather lightly… fast-forward 30 minutes and I felt this unusual pain from the piecing site… If you hike a lot then you get to know your body and its aches and pains rather well, there are many that you know to safely ignore and they will soon be walked off, others you recognise as more serious and know they will need care for a while. This was different from anything I had experienced before though, it came on rapidly and at times was intense, any flexing of the foot, even through normal walking was particularly bad. Rough ground that twisted and flexed the foot simultaneously was almost unbearable, and the CDT is always rough in Montana. Still, with the aid of my hiking poles, I limped on for a further 100 miles hoping that I could walk this off. Deep down I feared the worst and suspected it might be fractured. Over the following days the pain intensified, as did the swelling, and it was obvious this needed attention. In the trail town of Helena, and after frantic emails exchanges with a doctor friend of mine (thanks Max!), a visit to Helena Urgent Care was recommended and X-Rays confirmed my fear, a fracture of the 3rd metatarsal and the end of my hike. However, a followup appointment to the Orthopaedic Clinic the next day threw a spanner in the works when I was told that is wasn't fractured after all and that the X-Ray was just showing an artery hole in the bone. This was completely normal and their diagnosis was just a badly bruised foot that needed a few days rest and I would soon be fine to continue. This was excellent news! The medical staff were so keen to get me back out on the CDT they even offered to drive me the 15 miles back to the trail in a few days time! Pleased with this new diagnosis I returned to my motel and negotiated a deal for 7 nights which should be more than enough recovery time. 7 days of doing nothing in a motel room wasn't much fun but luckily the tour de France and Wimbledon were on so I even got to watch some of my favourite sporting events, things were looking good! Problem was after 7 days there was little improvement and it was obvious that I would not be getting back out on the trail this year. One of the issues with hiking the CDT southbound is that you are always racing against the seasons and if you don’t clear Colorado by the end of September then winter will likely overtake you. I had no chance of doing that when I could barely walk 1/2mi at this stage, and that was in considerable discomfort. A tough decision was made to abandon the CDT and return to the UK for further treatment. Back in the UK a new set of X-Rays clearly showed an un-displaced fracture of the 3rd Metatarsal, right below the knuckle, and clean through the bone. This fracture hadn't been visible at all on the initial X-Rays. The good news was that it was healing nicely but sill needed around 3 further weeks, there was no way I could have completed the CDT. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I’m writing this blog post 2 weeks after the new X-Rays and now feel almost fixed, there is no pain from the foot and I’m even cycling 20 miles most days. I return to the hospital next week and hope to get the all clear so that I can go away and salvage something from what remains of the year. Of course I’m bitterly disappointed not to have finished the CDT on my first attempt, but me and the CDT are not finished and as Arnold Schwarzenegger would say “I’ll be back!”.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">There are many products out there that promise to make life better. Mostly they fail or cause more problems than they solve, but just occasionally you find one that really does what it promises. The </span><a href="http://www.compasscaddy.com/" style="font-family: inherit;">Compass Caddy</a><span style="font-family: inherit;"> is one of those.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a name='more'></a><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Consider this. I almost always hike with 2 poles so my hands are full. I often hike off-trail so the way isn’t obvious. I need to be checking my compass bearing regularly, problem is it’s round my neck, or zipped away safely in a pocket. I need to stop, put-down my strapless poles, check my compass bearing, pick-up poles, carry-on, repeat. This isn’t too much hassle on a very short section but do that for hours and it gets more than a little annoying. Sometimes I might even give-up with the poles completely and put them away. At all times I can guarantee I won’t check my bearing as often as I should. Enter the Compass Caddy.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The Compass Caddy is a simple plastic compass holder that firmly attaches to a hiking pole. Having your compass on a hiking pole means that, once set, I don't need to stop or put down a pole to check a bearing. Just lift the pole, which has a useful secondary role as a sighting rod, check and carry on. No stopping, no putting poles down = frustration free compass navigation! Even for more general on-trail navigation it’s handy to have your compass accessible and I find myself checking my direction more often, when before I might have taken a chance. I would have loved to have one on my last hike, along the </span><a href="http://www.tramplite.com/2015/05/scottish-trail-report.html" style="font-family: inherit;">Scottish Trail</a><span style="font-family: inherit;">, because I was forever having to mess around with compass bearings along the </span><a href="http://capewrathtrailguide.org/" style="font-family: inherit;">Cape Wrath Trail</a><span style="font-family: inherit;"> section. The Compass Caddy would have excelled there. </span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">In use the Compass Caddy grips the compass baseplate tightly, so it’s unlikely to ever fall out, but can still be removed by the user quickly with a firm pull. This is a clever design that fits most standard poles and compasses, with or without a lanyard attached. If you have special requirements, such as </span>super thin<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;"> </span>lightweight<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;"> poles, then you can order a Custom Caddy. My prototype Compass Caddy came supplied with a zip-tie, in </span>case<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;"> you have any </span>slippage<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;"> problems, which I found a bit... cheap! I suggested </span>they<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;"> look at friction tape which they are now investigating.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">I’ve only had chance to use the Compass Caddy around my local area so far but I can already see huge potential, so much so I’ve bought one to take on my 5000km CDT hike in a couple of weeks. Expect an in-depth longterm review after that.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">The Scottish Trail, or <a href="http://www.walkhighlands.co.uk/scottish-national-trail.shtml" target="_blank">Scottish National Trail</a> to give it its full name, is a 865km hike, end to end, through Scotland that will take somewhere between 4-6 weeks. Starting at the end of the <a href="http://www.nationaltrail.co.uk/pennine-way" target="_blank">Pennine Way</a>, in the borders, it winds its way slowly north along a mix of established trails, tracks, canals, road links and at times tough trackless terrain, to finish at the most north west tip of Scotland, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cape_Wrath" target="_blank">Cape Wrath</a>. This was to be my warmup hike for the much longer <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continental_Divide_Trail" target="_blank">Continental Divide</a> starting in June. It did that job nicely!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">I want to be clear from the start that this isn’t really a trail but a route. I’ve hiked many trails worldwide and mostly that word means that there will be some sort of way-marking, or blazing. Normally it also means that there will actually be a path of some sort to hike on, forget that with the Scottish Trail. There isn’t one marker the entire length of the trail, and there are big sections up north that are completely trackless, a trail without any markings or track is normally call a route. Down south you will often be hiking on existing way-marked trails so navigation is relatively easy, it just a case of remembering to turn off one trail and join another, up north you join the magnificent Cape Wrath Trail (described as Britain's<span style="font-family: inherit;"> toughest trail) which again is certainly not a trail! This is a tough and rough section, that is often trackless and over remote challenging terrain which needs careful navigation. I met one American guy on my way home who felt calling the Cape Wrath Trail, a trail, was misleading and would encouraged hikers that may not have the necessary skills to take it on, I completely agree. These are both routes and not trails.</span> That's not to say the pre Cape Wrath Trail section is tough, it isn't, but do not expect to have any help with route finding.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The Scottish Trail was devised by <a href="http://cameronmcneish.wix.com/cameronmcneish" target="_blank">Cameron McNeish</a> and officially opened in 2012. It's difficult to say how many have thru-hiked this trail but I think it's still in single figures. It’s a trail of two very different halves and gets progressively tougher as it heads north. The first half is generally easy hiking on established trails including the St. Cuthbert's Way, Southern Upland Way, West Highland Way, Rob Roy Way and Great Glen Way. These routes will be linked by tracks, roads, canals and other rights of way before, bam! the Cape Wrath Trail kicks in and the toughness level goes up by around 10 levels! </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">This isn't my normal type of hiking route and I generally prefer a higher, more remote, experience but there was still much to enjoy on this hike. The Southern Upland Way has always been a favourite of mine, the Pentland Hills were a new pleasure, as was the Falkirk Tunnel and the amazing engineering masterpiece that is the Falkirk Wheel. The Cairngorms were my local playground for many years so it was good to catchup, and the whole Cape Wrath Trail was a delight. </span></div>

All long hikes have sections like this and overall I have very fond memories of the Scottish Trail. It certainly fulfilled it’s aim and warmed me up for the CDT. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">If you are interested in hiking the trail then the place to start your planning is at the <a href="http://www.walkhighlands.co.uk/scottish-national-trail.shtml" target="_blank">Walkhighlands</a> website. Here you will find detailed information on each section along with gpx tracks of your route. Everything you need is on this excellent website and that makes planning for the Scottish Trail very easy. I will only add my personal details on travel as nothing else is needed. The easiest way to get to the start at Kirk Yetholm is to take a <a href="http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/" target="_blank">train</a> to Berwick-upon-Tweed. This is on the main east coast rail line so has a very regular and fast train service from most major cities. If you are flying into the UK then you can get a train direct from London or Edinburgh. From there you take a <a href="http://www.perrymansbuses.co.uk/timetables" target="_blank">bus</a> to Kelso and then a further <a href="http://www.roadhoggs.net/services/" target="_blank">bus</a> to Kirk Yetholm. Getting back from Cape Wrath take the tourist <a href="http://www.visitcapewrath.com/" target="_blank">minibus</a> (£6 and only if space allows) or hike to the <a href="https://capewrathferry.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">ferry</a> (£4.50) , and a further 3 km hike/hitch will get you to the town of Durness, where you will likely have to overnight, before getting the morning <a href="http://www.thedurnessbus.com/lairg.php" target="_blank">minibus</a> down to Lairg. Lairg has a direct train service to Inverness, which has an airport, or you can get another bus/train south to most cities (including Edinburgh and London). </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">Resupplying on the trail is fairly easy, particularly the southern half, as you often pass through towns with good facilities. The final Cape Wrath Trail section is much more remote and I sent a resupply box to the post office at Kinlochewe to cover the final 6 days. Generally thought I only needed to carry 3-5 days food and could have carried less. Water is never an issue in Scotland, it's everywhere! Accommodation including B&B’s, hotels, hostels, campsites and bothies (free open shelters) are widely available though can often be expensive, I used 3 hotels, 1 campsite and wild camped the rest of the time. <a href="http://www.visitscotland.com/see-do/activities/walking/wild-camping" target="_blank">Wild camping</a> is normally legal in Scotland but there are some areas of the trail that will be affected by a new bylaw that <a href="http://www.thisisyourpark.org.uk/your-park-recommendations-explained/" target="_blank">bans</a> lochside camping. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">I hiked in May which is generally a good month for Scotland. Weather is often fine and more settled and it’s too early for the bugs to be an issue (with the exception of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tick" target="_blank">ticks</a>). Daytime temps will be perfect for hiking and not too cold overnight. Not this year! This has been the wettest May in Scotland that I can remember and 3 out of 4 weeks were seriously wet, the ground was saturated to the point that you would sink to ankle depth with every step, the rivers where very high and sometimes difficult to cross. It rained, snowed, hailed, thundered and occasionally the sun came out, not the best hiking weather. It was never cold though and didn't even drop below freezing, normally at this time of year I would expect the occasional night down to around -5C. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: large;">Bring gear suitable for very wet and windy </span></span><span style="font-size: large;">weather, your hike might not be as wet as mine but it knows how to rain in Scotland , so don't skimp on the waterproofs. Footwear should have a good deep tread to cope with slippery and muddy trails. A tent that can cope with exposed campsites is recommended as is a sleeping bag that keeps you warm at 0C, you can wear extra clothes should it be colder. Keep your gear dry with a good waterproof pack liner. Gas and meths (alcohol) is readily available in many places, I took meths but often saw gas canisters. A gps will be very hand up north. Hiking poles are useful when slipping in the mud.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I like gadgets, I always have. It’s a weakness and I often carry many. A device that measures windspeed, temperature, pressure and humidity serves little real purpose on the trail yet I often take one. I justify it by telling myself that I need to know just how wind resistant my latest shelter is, or how low that new bag can be pushed and still keep me warm, but actually I’m just a sucker for gadgets.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="http://www.windoo.ch/en" style="font-family: inherit;" target="_blank">Windoo</a><span style="font-family: inherit;"> is gadget lovers delight, a simple device that plugs into the headphone socket of an Apple or Android phone and magically transforms it into a competent weather station. It appears tough and well made and is powered directly by the smartphone, so needs no batteries. I was initially skeptical about the accuracy of device like this but having used it everyday for 1 month I'm very pleasantly surprised. Compared to my previous weather and wind-meter, a <a href="http://kestrelmeters.com/products/kestrel-2500-weather-meter" target="_blank">Kestrel 2500</a>, the readings are almost identical yet the Windoo offers more features, for a fraction of the weight and bulk, and is cheaper. Measuring 52*20mm and 19g in its protective aluminium and carbon fibre case Windoo 3 is small and very light, perhaps to the point of being easy to misplace. There are 3 versions with different sensors and I have the top of the range Windoo 3 which offers windspeed, pressure, humidity and temperature. Cost is around £75. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Operating Windoo is easy enough, plug it into your smartphones headphone socket, open the free App and push the volume to max. A few seconds later your readings should appear. Windspeed is updated every 1 sec and other readings every 3 sec. Windoo has been designed to work with your phone fitted in a standard thin case and sits a little proud of the phone without one. I use <a href="http://www.lifeproof.com/en/" target="_blank">Lifeproof</a> </span>waterproof<span style="font-family: inherit;"> cases that are too bulky for Windoo but fortunately you can use a small extension cable just fine. Check that Windoo is compatible with your smartphone and a full list is on the website. I found it out of date as the iPhone 6 is classed as incompatible (in testing) yet it works fine (and the App has been updated to support it). </span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The App is a little basic and I found it crashed more than I would like (tested on iPhone 5S and 6+). It’s certainly an area that could be improved. Opening the App takes you to the Live Data page which shows you the basic sensor readings but pressing the arrow below each reading takes you to a more in-depth page with realtime graphs and additional information which might include min/max/average, dew point, windchill etc depending on the sensor selected. </span></span><span style="font-size: large; text-align: justify;">You can change the measurement units for any sensor through the App which is great as I like temperature in C but windspeed in mph.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Things I don’t like about the App </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">include that it’s a GPS hog. Windoo uses the GPS to correct pressure readings for altitude but rather than getting that and switching off it keeps the GPS on and drains your battery, you </span>can<span style="font-family: inherit;"> stop </span>this<span style="font-family: inherit;"> by denying Windoo access to Location Services but then you will </span>only<span style="font-family: inherit;"> get actual pressure which is less useful. The App will also not work in the background so you couldn't leave it recording all night (good job given the GPS drain already mentioned). Sensor readings can sometimes be slow to appear on the screen, and occasionally the readings are just wrong (-24C in Scotland during May, I don't think so!) but closing the App and re-opening generally sorts it out and when all is working fine it is very accurate (when compared against my Kestrel). </span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="font-family: inherit;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Overall this is a nice weather/wind gadget and is so small and light that I now always carry it. Generally very accurate the App needs more development to really shine but even as it is this is a very usable gadget that does exactly what it says. I don't see myself carrying the Kestrel again anytime soon and if you have a need for a gadget like this then the Windoo 3 is recommended.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">My 2015 hikes have been planned for a while but I’ve just never got around to updating the blog, sorry! This should be a great year and because it has been almost 7 months since my last trip I’m starting off with a nice easy warmup hike along the Scottish National Trail (SNT). That will be followed, almost immediately, by my main hike the Continental Divide Trail (CDT). After such a long time off the trail I can’t wait to get started! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The SNT is a relatively new 864km trail that opened in 2012. It was devised by ex-</span><a href="http://www.tgomagazine.co.uk/" style="font-family: inherit;">TGO</a><span style="font-family: inherit;"> editor </span><a href="http://cameronmcneish.wix.com/cameronmcneish" style="font-family: inherit;">Cameron McNeish</a><span style="font-family: inherit;"> and links together existing smaller trails. It starts where the </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pennine_Way" style="font-family: inherit;">Pennine Way</a><span style="font-family: inherit;"> finishes in the Scottish Borders, at Kirk Yethholm, and winds its way slowly up to the northern tip of West Scotland at Cape Wrath. If you are interested in the route then I recommend reading </span><a href="http://www.walkhighlands.co.uk/scottish-national-trail.shtml" style="font-family: inherit;">walkhighlands</a><span style="font-family: inherit;"> comprehensive guide to the trail. A lot of this trail, particularly the southern half, isn't particularly challenging but as a warmup hike for the CDT it looks ideal. I’ve also wanted to hike the tougher northern section, along the </span><a href="http://capewrathtrailguide.org/" style="font-family: inherit;">Cape Wrath Trail</a><span style="font-family: inherit;">, for some time so this is an ideal opportunity to do that. The Cape Wrath Trail is described as Britain's toughest trail, though I find that very hard to believe and would consider the </span><a href="http://www.christownsendoutdoors.com/2012/12/walking-watershed-of-scotland.html" style="font-family: inherit;">Scottish Watershed</a><span style="font-family: inherit;"> to be much more challenging. I will start the SNT on the 24th April and expect to finish around 22nd May, for those of you out on the TGO Challenge this year I may bump into you when I head west from the Cairngorms. Say hello!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The CDT is my 2nd of the big 3 USA hikes and is generally classed as the most challenging, at around 5000km it’s also my longest hike to date. It starts at the Canadian border, in Montana, and heads south through Wyoming, Colorado and finishes at the Mexico border in New Mexico. I’ve taken the slightly unusual decision to hike south because I didn't like the overcrowded trails I experienced early on </span>during<span style="font-family: inherit;"> my previous USA hike, the PCT. The CDT is always much quieter than the PCT but it is getting more popular and with the majority of hikers going north, and starting within a week or 2 of each other, it has the potential to be busier than I would like. There is also a push to make the CDT more accessible and this years northbound hikers have the luxury of a shuttle service to the start, water caches in the drier sections, and for the first time a kickoff party. I won’t have these luxuries and to be honest I’m all the happier for that. It’s not advisable to start a southbound hike until around mid June because of late snows in Glacier National Park, so I don't expect to finish until early November. I still need to obtain permits for Glacier but all being well I will set off on 16th June. </span></span></div>
