Episode 64: Kit Lists - Cape Wrath Trail
Wayne chats with Cathy about her wander along the UK's most remote long distance path; The Cape Wrath Trail.
After a 15 year search for two friends willing to trek 220 miles through Scotlands wilderness, Cathy chats about their fantastic 12 day trip involving camps, bivvies, bothies, hostels, river crossings and a LOT of bellowing stags. Listen to tips on planning, training, logisitics, spreadsheets, blister management, cooking, packing and clothing as well as middle age, dodgy knees and falling over.
And laughter. Lots of laughter.
