Christmas at the Cape - It’s back on!
Lots of excitement brewing as it’s now official - Cape Wrath in Winter 2009 is on!
I should be clear that this unfortunately won’t be the full Cape Wrath Trail which I’m disappointed about. It will be a journey to the cape using Strathcarron as a starting point (it’s on the railway network). Am I disappointed? In some ways yes. I set out to do the whole thing in one go and anything else feels like a slight letdown.
However, I realise that to be up in that country at that time of year is a privilege and in the general scheme of things does it really matter?
I’ll be leaving Strathcarron around the 15th December and if all goes to plan arriving at the cape on Christmas day itself - an amazing experience. So many lessons have been learnt and the route has been totally revised (I will post this as soon as I can).
This one’s been hanging over me for two years now, so it feels like an immense relief to know that I’ll be back out there very soon, facing the elements, my boots pointed inexorably North.
A few words on this blog…I’ll be trying to keep it updated as much as possible but work commitments may mean that I can’t do this as often as I’d like. In the meantime, you can follow me on Twitter, where I’ll post some Cape Wrath musings as well as some inane ramblings about life (and my new mountain bike - you’ve been warned!).
