The descent was interesting through the rocks and past numerous deer, all watching me sceptically. Basically, there are two ways to get to Loch an Nid via Bealach na Croise from Kinlochewe. In a rare  moment of pique, they shrilly report that “pedants” had removed signs put up by the landowner that advised walkers to trek around the boundary of the forest – and that this removal could have literally caused the death of inexperienced walkers. So, I decided just to walk upstream for a while until I could identify the pass out of the glen. I offered the crofter some money for his fuel and bother. Ironically, as I was finishing lunch at the loch,  two walkers I’d briefly met the day before went past on their way down to Bealach na Croise – the narrow pass to Loch an Nid that B&H describe as feeling “very closed in and isolated.” The pass is visible from the loch and B&H’s words are accurate. But first, before checking in and before buying more breadrolls and cheese, I stopped at the Pumpkin Cafe and sat down to latte and chocolate cake. Last year when I walked the trail I kept a pretty good pace, and my experience on recent trips showed me that 5 km/h is a reasonable pace for me. Was there a place to get a cup of coffee? But three hours later I was at the end, it was pouring down – the only big soaking of the entire walk – and I was knocking on the door of the B&B at the tea rooms. B&H recommend that you camp a little further up the river at the end of the previous day and if, like me, you stayed at Sourlies instead, then you should soon be passing the area they favour where the river is marked by crashing waterfalls, big pools and snake-like twists as it heads deeper into the glen and Knoydart. “Oh, I’m only interested in the rocks,” he said. I was initially confused by this pass because I had been expecting to see a lochan at the bottom of it.

Ignore it and continue straight on or you’ll get badly lost. He mumbled something about Morvich and the fact that he didn’t tackle the Falls of Glomach because he didn’t have trekking poles (I missed the falls out too, but not because I didn’t have any poles). Our favorite bothies along the Cape Wrath Trail, from the cozy to the absolutely epic. The pass between Glas Bheinn and Beinn Uidhe, looking back towards the loch . I assumed they were part of a university ecological research project. B&H remark that the descent to Sourlies is ‘unsparing, undefined and steep in places.’ It is steep, yes, but it is on a clear path and, as you descend further, you may, as I did, enjoy intoxicating natural perfumes blending the smells of wild flowers, wood and water. Etc, etc. Irgendwie fühlt es sich gerade schon nach Zieleinlauf an. Irgendwie zieht es mich im Urlaub meist nach Norden. Trouble is, there are a lot of rocks and a lot of trees in and near the river. And there are supplies available at Gerry’s bunkhouse, a few miles up the road from Strathcarron, which is where I headed after a night at the Strathcarron Hotel – or at least in a field over the road, which is where they let me camp when I found out all the rooms were full.

OS then shows the path crossing the river Elchaig near Cragog in the glen. Und wasserdichte Socken! Not a bad place for lunch. In retrospect I wish I’d stopped the day’s walking at Barrisdale Bay and stayed at the bunkhouse there, which costs £3 a night and has luxuries like running water and a flushing toilet. Blog. Nach meinem Verständnis sollten hier eigentlich die Tourberichte von einem selbst verfasst werden und nicht von anderen. Here, beside Loch Meallan an Fhudair, Kinlochewe wasn’t that far away on the map, but the combination of mountain peaks, rough trackless terrain and grey cloud and water at that loch made it seem very distant. Dort schaffe ich mit meinem vollgepackten Rucksack im Laufschritt im letzten Moment – der Fährmann macht sich schon an den Tauen zu schaffen – die Mittagsfähre nach Camusnagaul, den Startpunkt des CWT. After a spell of road-walking on the A87 down to Loch Duich, the path turned north east past the busy caravan site at Morvich. With no other people around, and no sign of any habitation, I could see why the author Tom Atkinson called his book about North West Scotland ‘The Empty Lands.’  After walking an estimated kilometre, and unable to line up my OS map with the shapes of the peaks and tops along the top of the glen, I decided to head up the shortest way I could find. I kept walking to the nearby Kintail Outdoor Centre, which is marked on OS as a place of tourist interest. And this is perhaps because while there is a signposted hill track heading north east from Strathan, it takes you to Loch Quoich – while, towards the west, the path heads straight to Loch Nevis via some lovely little lochans – and there’s a popular little bothy to stay in on the beach a few miles beyond it too. The CWT can certainly be a rough, tough walk – probably the toughest in Britain – but it needn’t be off-limits to all but a band of ‘been there, done that’ walking elite. I’m glad I did because the woodland walking beside and over numerous burns, some slow moving, some roaring with white water, was rewarding. But if this sign name is a mistake by the society, it wouldn’t be the first since there’s a really confusing one near Kinlochewe which gets the names of two passes mixed up. I could imagine hunter-gatherer people living down there in ancient times. Or, you could avoid the road walking by getting a lift to Achnashellach Station and then continue the walk to Kinlochewe. I was sad to leave Camas-luinie and would have gladly stayed a few days in quiet Glen Elchaig, which is a world way in feeling from busy Loch Duich, with its tourist traffic passing to and from Skye, just over the other side of the hill. However, I was booked into the Sail Mhor Croft bunkhouse at Camasnagaul, a few more miles up the road, which left a problem as to how I was going to get to Ullapool the next day. So, if you want to walk the trail, do it now rather than later. B&H  remark that there is a ‘faint path’ heading across this ground. The craggy tops and smooth rock faces enclosing the loch now looked interesting rather than forbidding and I began to see why B&H recommended the site as a fine place to wild camp.

At the top the path breaks out into open moorland with clear  views over to Beinn Eighe. Although B&H suggest you next keep the river on your right and the fence on your left after leaving the forest (or rather ex-forest), I lost the path and ended up splashing over the water where I could to the A896  which goes directly to Kinlochewe past the entrance to the Beinn Eighe National Nature Reserve.

The second woodland of the day, above Kinlochewe, gave B&H same problems since they report that blown trees meant it took them an hour to cover the 1.5km through it – not that they were meant to walk through it at all.
