With a wide range of route alternatives, it's perfect for the ambitious and experienced backpacker. It's a tough test and you'll brave genuine wilderness, rugged terrain, rain, wind, midges, bog and remote river crossings. Whatever time of year you attempt the trail, it will test the limits of your endurance. And this guidebook gives you all the information you need about bothies, campsites and (rare) amenities en route as well as detailed OS mapping and route profiles to help you plan and prepare for your trip.

Iain Harper completed the Cape Wrath Trail in 2009. Armed with his research he approached Cicerone to write the definitive guidebook to the trek. Iain has walked extensively in the Highlands for 20 years and enjoys running ultra marathons. He lives in the Cotswolds with his wife Kay.
