Blissful Hiker is forced by torrential rain to quit the Cape Wrath Trail but makes the most of it by bagging the highest mountain in the UK.
In this episode:
- Blissful and her companions are soaked through when they reach the cafe at Kinloch Hourn, finding it closed when it was supposed to be open and camping in puddly grass.
- The next section is high, exposed and has two dangerous river crossings – worse so in spate, or flood – and so they hitch a ride out.
- Taking a bus back to the start in Fort William, they climb towering Ben Nevis is mist, rain, sleet and snow.
MUSIC: Poema del Pastor Coya by Angel Lasala as played by Alison Young, flute and Vicki Seldon, piano
