The Cape Wrath Trail is a name that makes seasoned hikers raise an eyebrow. It’s 350km of wild terrain from Fort William to the far northwest tip of Scotland — much of it without a clear path.
In this episode, Magnus Ross joins us just five days after completing it. He talks about:
What it’s really like to walk the UK’s hardest trail
The long days of solitude and how they changed how he thinks about adventure
Why bothies are magical (but why camping is Magnus's favourite way to spend a night)
How to plan, pack, and prepare for a remote multi-day hike
Whether you’re dreaming of Cape Wrath or just love hearing about big adventures in wild places, this one’s full of inspiration and hard-earned insight.
