Cape Wrath Trail: most remote bothy in Scotland

Send us a text

Blissful Hiker hikes the Cape Wrath Trail in a kind "sampler, platter" managing to fit in a hike to stunning Maol Bhuide.

In this episode:

1. Blissful and her companion give the trail one more try in sections and drive from Fort William up to Strathcarron and begin a bog trot in brilliant sunshine to Maol Bhuide (pronounced mee-OWL VOO-tee)
2. They share it with two young men and decide to stay an entire day to explore the remote highlands surrounded by massive Munros. 
3.  The day is clear with stunning yellow "spotlights" from the sun, leaving the far off mountains black as rain comes and goes. 
4. Returning means one tricky river crossing, but the visit is worth it for the solitude and views. 

MUSIC: Poema del Pastor Coya by Angel Lasala  as played by Alison Young, flute and Vicki Seldon, piano
