Welcome to my latest long distance hike.
In this series, I take on probably the toughest of all the UK hikes.
It may not be the longest, but this one is generally considered to be gruelling.
Difficulty aside, the views and landscapes that you are rewarded with on a daily basis are just stunning. They certainly make up for the rough paths, bogs and river crossings.
You will definitely get wet on this one. It is a cracking hike though.
I hope this inspires someone to consider taking it on.
John.

Great video and awsome to see some of the scenery you guys passed. Tony has shared lots of tales and photos from his time on the CWT but even better to be able to see him in your video. Thak you x

Wow the footage on this video is stunning. A beautiful first day to get the legs warmed up that's for sure. Scotland never disappoints does it john. Really enjoyed this first episode. Just on episode 2 now 😊

@thunder_roaming 8 месяцев назад

The Highlands of Scotland is an amazing place Emma. I love it there. Thanks for watching. I hope you enjoy it.

Well done John, looking forward to part 2! 👍 Great stuff! I'm on the trail again in April doing the Nation Trail so looking forward to the CWT part again! 😉

@thunder_roaming 9 месяцев назад

Glad you enjoyed it mate. April you say. We may bump into each other. As you will see in a future episode, I am going back in April to try and settle a score with the CWT.

@andrew_hikes 8 месяцев назад

Might see you there? Hoping to start on April 16th…

@thunder_roaming 8 месяцев назад

@andrewmurrayhikes I'll likely be starting a few days after that but commencing from where I left off so you never know, our paths may cross Andrew.

Count us in! New subscriber here. Love most all of these CWT Films. And what with global warming early winter/spring season looks like a great time to do the trail. Great stuff 👍🏼

@thunder_roaming 8 месяцев назад

Thank you Fraser. It's great to have you onboard. I chose the back end of April because the weather tends to improve slightly around that time. It's also early enough that the midge isn't too much of a problem. There were still plenty of tick about though.

@andrew_hikes 8 месяцев назад

Thanks for sharing John! What were the overnight temperatures last April? How did the Altras cope with the wet sections? My Lone Peaks aren’t the best on steep and boggy ground. Hoping to start on the CWT in mid April. New Sub

@thunder_roaming 8 месяцев назад

Temperatures were OK Andrew. It was chilly the night I camped high up but not uncomfortable. It was that wet and boggy that no footwear would be perfect in my opinion. I will be using the same this year. Altra's and waterproof socks. The socks are only waterproof for so long though. I had wet feet every day apart from day 1 and the last day.

@macinthewild8116 9 месяцев назад

Nice video mate, but crikey you went off quick ! Keen to see if you kept that pace going 👍

@thunder_roaming 9 месяцев назад

Thanks for watching Mac. I certainly don't keep that pace up mate. On steady trails without too much ascent/descent, I normally walk at around twenty miles per day. I'm up early, steady away and walk until evening. I'm comfortable with that pace. Once the difficult terrain starts, as in day two onwards, my pace drops accordingly.

Excellent vid John, bringing back amazing memories. Was great walking with you.

@Tonydcz yeah am good yourself? That's class pal, it's some journey 👏 I had finished it in 12 walking days and 1 rest day so 13 days total. I had to walk back off cape wrath aswell, nightmare! 🤣 half planning doing the walk again this year.
