Cape Wrath Trail – tough but worth it
The CWT was tough, not what I expected, but so spectacular it was really worth it!
Cape Wrath Trail – Kinlochbrieve to Cape Wrath
After our last leg of the CWT (Ullapool to Inchnadamph) we had decided to take a bit of a break. We spent a few weeks hanging out with family. While at Mellon Udrigle on the west coast with a large crew of cousins we spotted a weather window of two dry-ish days so we decided to go for it. We knew there was a bus from Durness back to Kinlochbrieve […]

Unfortunately my ankles have been playing up – so definitely going to have to sort that out before we start hiking!In a bit […]
Koh Samui (Thailand) for a week
We are officially on our way to the UK!!! We had planned to stop through Sri Lanka to see some friends on our way, but with the current travel status and curfews the friends suggested we’d be better off going somewhere else. So two weeks out we googled direct flights to affordable resorty places and ended up in Koh Samui. The island is very much a resort place, with guest […]
