I completed it at the beginning of April just gone. It was indeed a life changing experience. Some hair raising moments along the way, but I’ll never forget the memories. What a trip! Your book helped a great deal - thanks.
Looking at doing this next year : got your book - superb! Alas, I have a meniscus problem that is being rehab’d and with luck... I should be good to go !
It’s a good question. You could look at an emergency satellite messenger like Garmin Inreach. Newer iPhones also allow emergency SMS. Often you can send SMS when calls are impossible so might be worth registering with www.emergencysms.net/ - and the tried and trusted method of giving someone full details of your route with pre arranged check ins (allowing time for delays)
I don't I'm afraid, I've enjoyed his hospitality a few times. Unfortunately I think Covid will have been tough for a lot of the more remote places, here's hoping they can bounce back and get back on their feet with our support.
Some sections are up there in terms of difficult terrain, but it's mainly lowish level so for me it's the cumulative effect of needing to be quite self-sufficient (which adds weight) and the trackless and often soggy terrain (plus river crossings) that often catches people out.

Superb video! I plan on attempting it next year in 12 days. Watching this has inspired me even more.
very well made video. i look forward to my hike in june 2023
Beautifully filmed
Thank you very much for your effort, Mr Harper!
I love the Cape Wrath trail, too.
Thanks, Hans - it is no effort when you love that part of the world as much as we do. Best wishes.
Your, newly published, guide was an invaluable friend during my CWT in 2013. Many thanks for all your hard work.
Thanks David - really appreciate that, glad it was useful!
Thanks very much, Iain.
I did it in the early 2000s and used that first Cicerone guide, maybe its time to do it again with the updated version.
Looking at doing this next year : got your book - superb! Alas, I have a meniscus problem that is being rehab’d and with luck... I should be good to go !
Wishing you the best of luck for your trip.
Looks Really Nice. Thanks a Lot
Great video Iain. Nice to put a face to an author! I’ve thumbed your book for a few years. Ready for the plunge! Alex, Glasgow
Thanks Alex - take the plunge - you won't regret it!
Hi,
I'm planning to walk the route in April this year. I was wondering, how you prepare for an emergency when you can 't use your phone.

Wow🤯 Great job✌️
Thank you lain great video 👍👍
Thanks for watching!
fabulous publisher
Can't recommend Cicerone enough. As an author they are amazing to work with - a lovely, family-run concern we are lucky to have.
Any idea what happened to Joe at Kinloch hourne?

Not walked it. But in my opinion looks,one of the hardest cool temperate trails out there here.
