This is my first day of being a slightly reluctant blogger. The reason for doing it is that I am going to walk a variation of the Cape Wrath Trail in Scotland this April and want to share that experience with my readers. I also hope to raise some money to buy some playground furniture for the school I work at (The Stonehenge School) in Amesbury, and hope this blog will provide evidence that I have completed the walk!
I hope to download pictures and comments on my route so that other walkers can benefit from my experience of walking the Cape Wrath Trail. I have been keenly following other peoples' experiences of this arduous route in an attempt to find the best route for me, and will be describing this walk as I go.
I have also become quite interested in 'kit', to the extent that I have bought a Vargo hexagonal wood-burning stove, weighing in at an astonishing 116g. I believe that this stove, used in conjunction with my trangia meths burner, will be an ideal cooking combination for my trip.
