Cape Wrath Ultra from Fort William to Cape Wrath - an 8 day adventure!!
Cape Wrath Ultra from Fort William to Cape Wrath , 400km over some pretty harsh terrain over 8 days what could possibly go wrong! Finally after 28 months of waiting and training, and two cancellations (May 2020 and May 2021) we finally set off last Sunday 1 st Aug!! I had purposely not reccied the route, so the whole route was new to me!! Day 1 Fort William to Glenfinnan Approx. 23miles, 500m elevation Kit check and briefing had all been carried out on the Sat. so all we had to do was get the ferry across Loch Linnhe for the start. Start was planned for 10am, but 2 nd ferry group was a bit late in arriving so we eventually set off at about 10.15am. Departing Fort William Everyone was just raring to get going, I think the really long lead into the event, all the planning for kit check etc I for one was desperate just to get started. Cape Wrath Ultra start - did we know what we were getting into!!? First section was mainly road and then gradual rise up the forest road, up Cona
