Cape Wrath Trail Guide - A new guide to Britain’s toughest backpacking route Am Buachaille, Sandwood Bay Britain’s toughest trail… The Cape Wrath Trail is the expedition of a lifetime, traversing 200 miles of Scotland's wildest and most beautiful country. The book A comprehensive guide to the Cape Wrath Trail, one of the most challenging long distance walks in the UK, published by Cicerone and now in a fully updated Second Edition. SleepMonsters Adventure Racing Reports - Cape Wrath Ultra - The Journey to Cape Wrath The Journey to Cape Wrath Author : Rob Howard ­ The inaugural Cape Wrath Ultra is about to begin and it is going to take 95 brave ultra runners on the journey of lifetime through the wild landscapes of North-West Scotland. The race is organised by Ourea Events, the company which revived the Dragon’s Back Race in Wales so successfully in 2012. That race is justifiably renowned as one of the world’s toughest multi-day ultras and the Cape Wrath Ultra is of the same pedigree – it may even be harder. It’s longer at 8 days and covers an extra 100km of mountain terrain.

The race is loosely based on the Cape Wrath Trail, which runs from Fort William to Cape Wrath, the North-western most tip of the UK. The Cape itself is only accessible by foot or boat, and the route is regarded as the toughest long distance trail in Britain, normally taking walkers around 20 days, though few have the experience to even attempt it. Ourea Events have modified the route for ultra running and so that they can logistically support the event in the same way they do the Dragon’s Back Race. Walkers attempting the route have to be largely self-sufficient – there are few supply points (in fact not many buildings at all) and no camp sites, nights are spent wild camping or sleeping in bothies (simple unattended mountain huts). The Cape Wrath Ultra runners will have camp and canteen set up for them each night and their kit bags moved forward each day. They’ll need the support as the route takes them into one of Europe’s great mountain wilderness areas, a place visited by relatively few. The North-West coast of Scotland is little known, even in the UK, where the vast majority of the population will never have heard of Cape Wrath.

The Highlands attract the adventurous tourists and walkers, and maybe they will get as far north as Fort William or Inverness, but few cross The Great Glen between the two to venture into the remote country further north. And it’s a long way north, Cape Wrath is nearer to the Arctic Circle than London. The route has been devised by Shane Ohly of Ourea, and Gary Tompsett, who has been appointed Race Director and planner. Tompsett was the planner of the 2007 AR World Championships in Scotland and he’s been refining the new 400km ultra route to take competitors through a mountain landscape unlike any other in the UK. The racers can expect to be crossing rough, rocky and boggy terrain, sometimes on paths or tracks, but not always. The newly produced race map will mark the route according to difficulty and 20% will be described as XT meaning; Trackless (XT): Typically rough ground that may be boulders, heather, tussock grass, flat grass, boggy grass (peat bog), peat (peat hag), or sand (which may not be rough!).

This ground is usually runnable if; a) it’s not steep in ascent, b) it’s not too wet, c) it’s not too rough, d) you are fit and practised enough and e) you have good traction. Most of these terrain types are possible to descend whilst running. Harvey’s mapping grade: Short intermittent dash and dots in red. On indistinct path or no visible path. The total ascent will be 11,200m but that figure does not fully take account of the toll the constant ups and downs and difficult foot placement will take. River crossings could be a particular hazard, the weather could do anything from blizzards to a heatwave, and everyone has been warned to check the ‘midge forecast’ as these tiny biting beasties can really make their presence felt. The racers will be fully supported by the Ourea logistics and safety team and will all be carrying YB satellite trackers, which can be used for two way communication if required. (That means you can also follow their progress on the race live tracking website and dot-watch your way to Cape Wrath.) For the competitors the race will be a journey into the unknown, physically, emotionally and by the end probably spiritually.

Not all who set out from Fort William will reach Cape Wrath on foot, and those who do may return with a different perspective on their every-day lives.

He's traveled the world reporting on and photographing adventure races and day-to-day he keeps his finger on the pulse of AR to ensure SleepMonsters is the heartbeat of the sport. More About This Event BBC - Coast Northern Scotland - Cape Wrath to Orkney Life on the Edge Living on the North coast of Scotland really is "living on the edge" of Britain  you are nearer to the Arctic Circle than you are to the south of England. This coast is home to some of the hardiest people you could find, generations who have had to innovate and improvise to earn a living. Cape Wrath Cape Wrath is one of the last untouched wilderness areas in Britain. Between the Kyle of Durness to the lighthouse on the tip of the Cape, where there was once a small community, there is now just rough terrain populated by deer and sea birds.

The wild-sounding name actually means "turning point" in Norse as over 1,000 years ago this was a welcome stopping-off point on the busy Viking sea routes from Scandinavia, not a remote headland. For most of the year this place is a haven of peace and tranquillity  but not always. Cape Wrath's other role in life is as one of the most important military training ranges in Europe. We visit the Cape at its busiest when air, land and sea forces from several countries work together on the military course "Neptune Warrior". All the elements that make it a hard place to survive - the remote location, the fierce nature of the weather and difficult terrain - are just what the armed forces need to test their men and their mettle. Between the Kyle of Durness and lighthouse on the tip of Cape Wrath, the land is known as the Parph: 207km of moorland containing a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and a Special Protection Area for birds. 5km east of the lighthouse are the Clo Mor Cliffs, the highest sheer cliffs in Britain with a drop of 281m (921ft).

They support an immense seabird colony with tens of thousands of puffins, razorbills, fulmars, kittiwakes and guillemots. The Cape can be accessed between May and September where a local ferry will take you across the Kyle of Durness and then a minibus can take you the 12 mile journey to the lighthouse. Stornoway Coastguard, Isle of Lewis The Outer Hebrides, a scattering of over 13 islands lying off Scotland's North West coast, are the first part of Great Britain to be hit by storms blowing in from the Atlantic Ocean. Many of the 26,000 people who live on these islands stay in small, isolated communities. When the winter storms hit, it's the team from the Stornoway Coastguard Search and Rescue that provides protection against the elements. Their helicopter is only one of 4 based in Scotland. They cover 2,900 miles of coastline and their daily job can take them from evacuating fishing boats in towering waters to attending medical emergencies in remote villages. In January 2005 the islands were hit by the largest storm in living memory.

Winds reached 124 mph, the highest recorded to that time, and the storm raged for 16 hours. Nicholas Crane discovers the scale of the devastation that the storm reaped. The Highland Clearances The Highland Clearances still leave a deep scar in the memories of Highlanders. In the 18th and 19th centuries Highland landowners decided that their land could be used more profitably for commercial sheep farming. In a systematic and often barbaric fashion the good grazing lands were cleared of people, who were sent to live on the far less hospitable north coast. The glen at Strathnaver was home to around 3,000 people in 1800; all were forcibly removed in the next 20 years, their homes burning behind them as they walked towards the sea carrying all their possessions. 200 locals who still live around the village of Bettyhill today joined Neil Oliver for a symbolic march to the coast and told us how the effects of the clearances still resonate in their lives today.

The local museum tells the story of the clearances, and the Strathnaver Trail takes in several clearances villages on its 16 site walk that explores local archaeology and geography. Dounreay Nuclear Power Station 50 years ago a remote farming and fishing community on Scotland's north coast was chosen to be the site for the most advanced nuclear reactor in the world. Dr Alice Roberts visits the site of Dounreay to look at the past, present and most importantly the future of this historic plant. In the 1950s the location was chosen precisely because of its isolated position, perched right on the edge of the British Isles. This was to be the world's first electricity-producing fast breeder reactor and would pioneer the development of fast breeder technology. The community was keen for the employment and investment the station would bring, and the population subsequently boomed from 3,000 to 9,000. But as the years passed, the optimism of the post-cold-war era faded and was replaced with concerns about the plant's safety. The programme's aim of generating electricity that was too cheap to be metered was never attained.

Now the funding for the fast breeder reactor programme has been withdrawn and the massive decommissioning programme has begun. The site and the community that surrounds it now finds itself pioneering decommissioning of a nuclear research site. It will take 30 years and around £2.7 billion to make the Dounreay site safe again. The Royal Oak: Scapa Flow, Orkney In both World Wars the Orkney Islands have played a vital role as base to the Home fleet. The large natural harbour of Scapa Flow afforded the Royal Navy a sheltered port and clear access out into the Atlantic. At the end of World War I the German fleet surrendered at Scapa Flow and the entire fleet was scuttled there in 1919. In World War II Scapa Flow was again used as the headquarters for the Royal Navy. They knew they would have to be vigilant to keep their fleet safe from the German forces, who were determined to seek vengeance for their previous humiliation. But they were not alert enough and the £2.5 million warship HMS Royal Oak was hit by a torpedo from the German U boat U-47 under the command of Lt Gunther Prien.

The strike resulted in the loss of 833 lives. The site in Scapa Flow is now an official war grave and Neil Oliver meets survivors Kenneth Toop and Arthur Smith as they travel back to Orkney to take part in the memorial service 60 years on. You can also still see a permanent legacy of the tragedy  The Churchill Barriers. Opened only four days after VE day, this five mile highway linked for the first time the Orkney mainland and the island of South Ronaldsy. It was hailed as one of the greatest civil engineering projects in the world - the defences and causeways were built of tonnes of quarried rock and concrete and ran where previously there had only been the rushing tide. The barriers were begun as defensive structures straight after the tragedy of the Royal Oak with the aim of making Scapa Flow impenetrable and secure once again. They now stand as a permanent reminders of the past. Dover to Cape Wrath - Peak Tours Dover to Cape Wrath Home / Shop / Tour / Guided / Dover to Cape Wrath Dover to Cape Wrath Photos Whilst most people have heard of the Lands End to John O’Groats route not many people have heard of the Dover to Cape Wrath route.

So what about the opposite two corners? This sensational tour takes in some of the best cycling the British Isles has to offer, including the Kentish Downs; Rutland; the Peak District; The Yorkshire Dales and the unbelievably beautiful islands and coastline of the Western Highlands. Have we whet your appetite? Welcome to the Dover to Cape Wrath tour The Dover to Cape Wrath cycle tour starts in the South East of England and takes in the quiet country lanes of The Kentish Hills and Cambridgeshire. We then head through Rutland, the Peak District and the Yorkshire Dales to Penrith and then on to the pretty village of Thornhill in Scotland before we take in the west coast of Scotland and also the beautiful islands of Arran, Mull and Skye before we reach the most north westerly point of mainland UK at Cape Wrath. Covering a total of 997 miles, this exciting and challenging tour provides another rewarding experience in a similar vein as the Lands End to John O’Groats tour. There is slightly more climbing on the “D2C” but you are rewarded grandly for your efforts as some of the days are unrivalled in the British Isles for their sheer grandeur and beauty.

You are provided with detailed route notes and maps. A tour leader cycles at the back of the group and there is a support vehicle on hand should you require assistance. We also carry a few spare bikes just in case you have a major mechanical problems. Lunches are provided at a pub or a café each day and all your luggage is moved for you. Whilst emphasis is always on safety we aim to provide a relaxed approach to cycle touring and wish to facilitate a fun and enjoyable tour with many laughs and memorable moments along the way. Our training days in the Peak District are designed to build confidence and discuss some of the logistics of completing a successful Dover to Cape Wrath tour. The distance we will travel is approximately 997 miles, with an average mileage of 72 miles per day. It should be borne in mind that a reasonably fit cyclist will average around 10-12 miles per hour (including hills) and therefore we will be in the saddle each day for around 6-8 hours. We will be at the start to meet you at Dover, and at the end we will take you from Durness to Inverness for our final meal.

If you are worried about getting your bike home at the end of the trip we can arrange for it to be packed, boxed and sent to your address for you so you can relax when you have completed the challenge. Fri 16th June – Sat 1st July 2017 – Places available Fri 11th – Sat 27th August 2017 – Places available Prices for 2017 are £1795 if sharing a twin/double, £2145 for a single or £2295 for sole occupancy of a double room. Dover to Brentwood (83 miles) We set off on our epic journey on the Dover to Folkestone Heritage Trail and then turn inland and climb to the quiet country lanes above the City. A good part of the day is spent stretching our eager legs through the lovely Kentish Downs before finally returning to civilization to cross the river Medway near Rochester. Further on, we cross the Thames at Gravesend on the Tilbury passenger ferry before a final push to arrive at our evenings accommodation in Brentwood in Essex.

Brentwood to St Ives (73 miles) A cracking little days cycling sees us on more quiet country lanes through the Essex and Cambridgeshire countryside. An unhurried Sunday lunch at The Cricketers owned by Jamie Oliver’s Mum and Dad will set us up for an afternoon of thatched cottages, winding roads and gentle streams through villages. The latter part of the day is spent on a great route through the vibrant University City of Cambridge, before joining the unique “Guided Busway” on our way to finally arriving at lovely St. Ives St Ives to Castle Donington (81 miles) After negotiating some lovely cycle path called “The Thicket” away from St Ives for the first few miles, we then navigate on cycle path around a few busy sections near Huntingdon but the morning soon gives way to more quality country roads as we head towards Rutland, Englands smallest county, passing close by the rather well to do public schools of Oundle and Uppingham and the impressive Welland Viaduct on our way to the hillier sections of Rutland and beyond.

This challenging, scenic day in the saddle is it’s own reward as we take a well earned rest in the tranquil setting by the river in Castle Donington. Castle Donington to Thornsett (64 miles) A shorter day today has us making our way through Nottinghamshire and on to some fantastic cycling through the picture postcard villages and terrain of the Peak District and all it has to offer. A great afternoon through this landscape then sees us descending out of the Peaks to the village of Thornsett in the North West tip of Derbyshire for some home cooked pub grub, fairly close to Peak Tours HQ. Thornsett to Settle (67 miles) A hilly but short day at 60 miles sees us continuing our journey skirting the edges of Derbyshire, Greater Manchester and finally Yorkshire by way of a mixture of some challenging but beautiful roads and some easier A and B roads. The edge of the Peak District allows some fine views out towards Manchester and on a clear day you can see as far as Wales. The evenings accommodation is in the small town of Settle at the foot of the Yorkshire Dales amongst some lovely scenery.

Settle to Penrith (61 miles) A fantastic day in the saddle sees us heading into the beautiful Yorkshire Dales where we join part of The Way of the Roses route, cycling through distinctive limestone hills and quiet country roads. Further on we pick up a gated road to Dent through some sublime scenery along a wonderfully peaceful section of The Dales. As if the Dales wasn’t enough, the latter section of this great day’s ride is spent exploring The Howgills, a lesser known part of The Lake District but no less beautiful for it. Penrith to Thornhill (79 miles) Today we cross the Scottish border as we pass through Gretna, Annan and onto Dumfries and Thornhill. An easy start sees us on part of the Coast to Coast ride in the morning, and later on those of you who have completed the LEJOG ride with us will began to recognise the roads just before Dalston.

There are some long flat sections to get stuck into in the afternoon, and after making our way through Dumfries we take quiet, undulating country roads to the pretty Scottish village of Thornhill Thornhill to Brodick (Arran) (67 miles) A moderate start today past castles and by quiet lanes next to gentle rivers gives way to cutting across the countryside in Ayrshire and then navigating on cycle paths, as we head to Ardrossan to catch the ferry to Brodick on the Isle of Arran. From here we begin the most exciting section of the trip as we continue northwards along the rugged, wild and untamed beauty of the West coast of Scotland. Brodick (Arran) to Craignure (Mull) (78 miles) A superb coastal road takes us northwards to Sannox Bay before cutting inland to the north coast of Arran where we will catch the ferry over to Kintyre. A cracking day with fantastic scenery takes us along Kintyre often hugging the coastline up to Oban where we will take the ferry to the Isle of Mull.

Craignure (Mull) to Mallaig (73 miles) A short cycle followed by an early ferry across the Sound of Mull takes us back onto the mainland. Here we cycle amongst some of the most spectacular scenery that our country has to offer, lets just hope the weather is on our side! We spend the night in the small coastal town of Mallaig, ready to catch the ferry in the morning. Mallaig to Kinlochewe (75 miles) An early start and another spectacular day takes us across the Isle of Skye to cross the impressive Skye Bridge at the Kyle of Lochalsh and back to the mainland. We have an optional detour to the picture-postcard little village of Plockton which was used as the back drop for Hamish McBeth, The Wicker Man and The Inspector Alleyn Mysteries. The second half of this day is as fine a days cycling as you will encounter anywhere within the British Isles. Kinlochewe to Ullapool (75 miles) Inching ever closer to our goal we continue past the impressive mountains around Beinn Eighe and Kinlochewe.

Cycling by the banks of Loch Maree we pass Loch Gairloch and Loch Ewe and pass the Isle of Ewe and also Gruinard Island before passing the Falls of Measach and onto the picturesque fishing village of Ullapool. Ullapool to Durness (68 miles) This will be our last full day in the saddle as we position ourselves at Durness ready for the final stretch to our destination at Cape Wrath. Yet more stunning scenery awaits around every turn, plus the best descent of the trip, as we inch closer to our destination. Durness is a beautiful little village situated a stones throw away from the last section over the Kyle of Durness towards Cape Wrath. Durness to Cape Wrath (and back) (24 miles) Getting to Cape Wrath is logistically challenging but it is worth the extra effort to get to the most north westerly point of mainland UK. Firstly we need to hire mountain bikes and take a small boat over to the road that takes us to Cape Wrath.

Once over the water, feeling strange on our hire bikes, we tackle a 12 mile section of road that is in bad condition and also the area is often used by the army as a firing range! After a victory conga and hugs all round at the lighthouse we need to get back to Durness and to our coach which will take everyone to Inverness for a last night celebratory meal. What’s Included? The tour price includes 15 nights accommodation, 15 breakfasts, 14 lunches, snacks, tea, coffee, & hot chocolate, full trip support including a tour leader that cycles with the group, back up van with spare parts and a few spare bikes, detailed route notes so that you can cycle at your own pace, certificate, cycle shirt, luggage transfer each day, transfer from Dover Station to your hotel and transfer from Durness to Inverness at the end of the tour. What’s Not Included? Evening meals, cycle hire (available for a fee), mountain bike hire for Cape Wrath (£50), ferries (seven in all, should be around £35), transport to Dover, transport from Inverness.

Group Size The group will be a minimum of 8 and a maximum of 25 people. We feel that this size of group works best as there will always be enough in the group for some good company but there won’t be so many people that it becomes overcrowded. Accommodation We stay in a mixture of B&B’s and hotels. The price quoted assumes that you will be sharing a twin or double room. If you are travelling alone you will share a twin room rotated with others that have chosen the same accommodation option. If you choose the single room option then you will have your own room throughout. Route Although the most direct route is much shorter, our route of 997 miles avoids main roads and takes in some of the UK’s most beautiful scenery. Wherever possible we cycle along quiet country lanes and cycleways and only join main roads when we absolutely have to. The terrain is varied but hillier in the middle through the Peaks and Dales and also the West Coast of Scotland. Food All of your breakfasts and lunches are included in the price of the trip. You will have a choice of full English, toast, cereals, fruit juices, tea, coffee etc.

Lunches will be provided each day and will generally be a buffet at a cafe or a country pub. Evening meals can be bought at your accommodation or in a nearby pub. The back up van also stops to brews and snacks in the morning and afternoon. Back Up An experienced tour leader will cycle with you each day and be on hand to help with any bike problems that may occur. You will have detailed route notes so that you can go slower or faster than the leader if you prefer or you can cycle at the back with the tour leader so that you don’t have to navigate at all. A back up van will leap frog the group a number of times each day so that help is never far away. We carry a range of spare parts so that repairs can be made en-route and we will have a spare bike available in the event that your bike has a serious breakdown. Bikes We highly recommend that you use a bike that you are used to and feel comfortable riding. Your bike should be fully serviced and in good condition before you start, this will reduce the risk of mechanical problems and unnecessary stoppages along the way. Either a road bike or a hybrid bike is preferable, however the ride can be done on a mountain bike if you prefer.

We have a range of road and hybrid bikes available for hire (£100 – £200 per person) if you don’t have your own bike. At the end of your trip we can arrange for your bike to be sent to your address (£70.00) if you don’t want the hassle of transporting it yourself. Fitness This tour is suitable for someone with a good level of fitness and who wants a challenge. If you do plenty of training beforehand you should have no problem completing the ride. We will have a training day in the Peak District available if you would like to join the group before the main event. It must be stressed that a good amount of training before the ride will make your tour much more enjoyable and ensure that you finish your ride. We are always happy to advise you about training plans in preparation for the ride. Clothing and Equipment Clothing for all weathers is recommended so waterproofs are essential. A full recommended kit list is provided & we are always happy to answer any questions that you may have. You can do washing at many of the B&B’s so that you don’t have to bring a mountain of clothes. What happens when I arrive?

If you would like collecting from Dover we will meet you at the station and take you, your luggage and your bike to the hotel where we will spend our first night. Just let us know when you want picking up and we will meet you then. We will have a group meal at 20:00 on the Saturday night so if you are arriving much earlier you have the time free to yourself. How do I get to Dover? You can get to Dover by Car, train & ferry (or you could cycle). We can pick you up at Dover when you arrive on Friday and transport you and your bike to our first nights accommodation. If you could let us know when you will be arriving and we will make arrangements to collect you if required. To get to Dover: By Car If you are using a hire car there are plenty of car hire companies who have a depot at Dover. Just let us know when you want picking up and we can collect you once you have dropped off the car. By Train There are frequent trains from London to Dover Priory and the journey takes between 1 hour 8 minutes to 2 hours 5 minutes depending on the time you are travelling and the station you are travelling from.

Your ticket should cost between £30 – £40. For train timetables tel: 08457 48 49 50 or book online at Why is the arrival day Friday and not Saturday? The reason that we start cycling on the Saturday and not Sunday is that we use the Gravesend to Tilbury ferry to cross the Thames. We use this ferry to avoid cycling through Greater London and the ferry doesn’t operate on Sundays. What happens at the end? We arrive in Durness on Thurday so that we are in place to catch the small boat across the estuary so that we can cycle the final 12 miles (each way) to reach the lighthouse at Cape Wrath. As Cape Wrath is the most north westerly point on mainland UK it marks our final destination. The road can only be accessed by boat and the road isn’t in a good state of repair. This section is only suitable for mountain bikes really. As many people will be using road bikes, we hire mountain bikes (this will cost £50) to complete the final section of the trip (if you had fairly wide tyres on your hybrid bike you could try it but we wouldn’t really recommend it).

Once we have arrived at the lighthouse we need to cycle back 12 miles to meet the boat back across the estuary to Durness. A coach will then take us to Inverness and we will spend the final night (Friday) in Inverness. You will then be in place for onward travel from either Inverness airport or the station. N.B If last minute weather scuppers our plans to get over to Cape Wrath, the mountain bikes still have to be paid for unfortunately as they are ordered and paid for in advance. If you are taking your bike back with you then we will transport your bike to Inverness for you or if you choose the ‘return transport’ option then your bikes will be packed & couriered back to your address for you. What mechanical knowledge do I need? We don’t expect you to be an expert bike mechanic but there are a few simple skills that will be a great benefit to you. The most important skill you need to know is how to fix a puncture. It is quite likely that at some point you will have a puncture or two so it is essential that you carry a puncture repair kit & a spare tube or two with you.

It is also helpful if you know how to change your brake pads and adjust your brakes & gears however this isn’t essential. Our guides will help you with any repairs & adjustments en-route. What are the lunches like? We arrange a buffet lunch at a pub or café each day. This will be a mixture of sandwiches, pasta salads, soup, quiche, salads etc and will be different at each place. There will always be enough to go round so don’t worry if you are at the back of the group. The lunch stops provide a good opportunity to re-group & catch up with others and compare notes. Will I be left behind? No, a tour leader cycles at the back of the group so that you won’t be left behind if you are worried about cycling too slowly. Throughout the group there will be a mix of abilities and cycling speeds so you will usually be able to cycle with others that cycle at a similar pace. Some people like to cycle fast whilst others prefer to take their time, stop for coffee and cake or stop to take photos etc so whether you are a ‘speed demon’ or more of a ‘tourer’ there will usually be someone to cycle with each day. Do I need to be super fit?

No, you don’t need to be super fit but a good level of fitness is important as the D2C is a challenging ride. The fitter you are & the more training that you do beforehand will add to the enjoyment of your tour and improve your chances of succeeding the challenge. If you need any advice about fitness please contact us and we will be happy to discuss any questions & concerns that you may have. What are the groups like? Obviously each group is different but generally they are a fun, friendly, helpful and adventurous bunch. There will be people of all ages and from all walks of life. We tend to get quite a few older riders although there will always be a few younger riders as well. So far our youngest rider was 15 and the eldest 78. We think that a group of 15-25 is ideal as there will be plenty of people with similar interests and character without being such a big group that it becomes too much. Generally the group will be split 50/50 between people travelling alone and people that travel as a pair such as two brothers, two friends, two partners. There will be plenty of people to socialise with throughout the day and in the evening.

How do I get my bike home at the end of the trip? If you are flying then you will need to box your bike before you board the plane. If you choose to do this you will need to send your bike box or bag to the final destination at the hotel in Durness as we don’t have space in the back up van to carry bike boxes or bags for everyone (Exceptions of one or two foldable cases are sometimes made fro overseas travellers). If you are travelling by train you will need to ensure that your bike is booked on each leg of your journey. We will transport your bike back to Inverness for you. An easy alternative to transporting your bike yourself is to use the services of Ticket to Ride ( Whilst we don’t take any responsibility for any outside bike couriering services previous customers have used them and have reported that they offer an excellent service. The way it works is that we will transport your bikes back to Inverness where a member of the Ticket to Ride staff will meet us at the airport/station & take any bikes that are to be posted or they will collect bikes from Durness.

The bikes will then be boxed (this usually means that they will remove the front wheel, pedals, saddle & handlebars) and posted to your address. The price for this service is £70.00 per bike. If you would like to use this service please let us know & we will book it in for you. What happens in the evenings? Once you have arrived at your accommodation you should have chance for some time to relax, have a shower etc before the evening meal. We usually arrange somewhere to eat for the evening meal so that we can all get together and you won’t be left alone if you would like to eat with others. Quite often we will simply arrange a certain pub to meet up and just drift in when you are ready whilst at other places we have a set time to eat – it just depends on the location. Does the support vehicle follow the group? No, the back up van doesn’t drive behind the group at all times but the van shouldn’t be too far away if you require assistance. In the morning we have a group brief and set off cycling, meanwhile the backup driver will collect all the luggage from the various B&B’s and hostels.

Once all of the luggage has been loaded, the support vehicle will leapfrog the group stopping when necessary. The backup driver will be at the lunch stop should you need anything from the van & in the afternoon will go on ahead to ensure that your luggage is in place before you arrive. How much luggage can I take? There is limited space in the back up van to store luggage. We therefore request that you try to keep your luggage size to a minimum & try not to bring too much with you. Washing clothes can be done en-route so you shouldn’t need to bring a clean set of clothes for every day. The ideal size for luggage is 70 x 50 x 30 cm and a weight of 15-18kg (or less). What training should I do? The more the better. We will provide a training guide for you so that you can build up your cycling strength and prepare for the ride in the correct way. It is important that you cycle two long days back to back whilst training & also that you cycle on some hills.

We hold training weekends at the start of the season so that you can meet with others in the group, ask any questions you may have & also test yourselves amongst the hills of the Peak District. What bike should I use? The most suitable bike for this trip is a hybrid/touring bike or a road bike, however it is entirely up to you what type of bike you use. Some people may be riding mountain bikes, others hybrids & others on racing bikes. Please ensure that your bike is fully serviced and in good working order before the start of the trip. If you are riding a mountain bike then it is advisable to use slick tyres. If you are using a lightweight racing bike it would be better to use a slightly wider tyre than 23mm if possible for touring long distances, for comfort and the different road surfaces you may encounter.

A great challenging ride through the most magnificent countryside the mainland of Great Britain can offer. John Mills, August 2016 Amazed that we had to go on so few ‘A’ roads. Bill Baker, August 2016 This is the third tour I have done with you – it’s been the hardest and probably the most enjoyable. Continue to do what you do – you do it well. Colin Sewell, August 2016 I have had two wonderful holidays with Peak tours and I am looking forward to Ireland or Italy in 2017. Andrew Thomas, May/June 2016 I can’t recall anything going wrong, either before we begun or whilst we were on the route.

If it did then it was sorted behind the scenes, so for us riders it was as smooth as the Lochs and seas in Scotland (which were like glass!) I loved it. We were so fortunate with the weather and I realise that made the tour much easier. During and after every climb we were always rewarded with spectacular views. I was riding with 4 others and we praised the route all the time while we were riding, always amazed at how you found all of the quiet roads we were riding. We stopped in some fab places for lunch and the accommodation was great. Marika Amat D2C August 2015 All B&B’s and hotels were of a really good standard. Well done. Overall, the routes each day provided us with great views using roads with light traffic and photo opportunities galore. The lunches were always plentiful and well balanced for our specific needs. The brew stops were most welcome and always provided tasty and nutritious snacks. This was my first tour and I was really impressed by the whole tour experience. I felt valued and Tom and Niv were always courteous, concerned and advisory when needed. Any bike concerns were dealt with promptly. The daily briefing and back up was outstanding. A really enjoyable first cycle tour.

Challenging at times but always fulfilling, a great adventure for a 60yr+ old especially. Steve Jefferys D2C August 2015 I had an absolutely amazing trip & everyone was adamant that it was certainly a far more scenic trip than the LEJOG, so congrats to you and Lee for devising such a brilliant route!!

Tony Webb Dover to Cape Wrath June/July 2014 I have completed multi day cycling holidays with a few companies in various parts of the world and whilst I was impressed with their organisation, Peak Tours gets my No 1 vote.

This is the second tour I have done with Peak Tours and will not be the last Paul Phillips Dover to Cape Wrath August 2013 Brillant organisation. It all seemed to work well, with no fuss and no glitches – organised but not militarily so, even when ensuring we were in time for the ferries. Lee and Phil were both fantastic. They managed to be organised and informative, fun to be with, helpful and sensitive to difficulties and both clearly loved being out on bikes and exploring the country.

The arrangements all went well, and the support from the Peak Tours staff was excellent when any assistance was required. Martin Venning Dover to Cape Wrath July 2013 I think you do an excellent job and especially with the trip on the last day when so many things could have gone wrong.

The back up was excellent! Gill Caine Dover to Cape Wrath July 2013 Thanks for putting together such a fantastic tour. I thought the food, lunches and accommodation were all excellent- The route and route notes were up to the usual Peak Tours standard. It was the best cycling I’ve ever done and I think it will be hard to top this tour. Robin Grimmer Dover to Cape Wrath July 2013 The following extras are available for this tour: Country diary: Cape Wrath, Sutherland: echoes, and a haunting musical lament of seals singing | Environment | The Guardian Country diary Echoes, and a haunting musical lament of seals singing Cape Wrath, Sutherland: I felt my heart race and the hair on my neck prickle at this disembodied song, so loud, unexpected Sealed with a song … an Atlantic grey seal on the west coast of Scotland. Photograph: Alamy Share on Messenger Close Wrath is from the old Norse hvarf, meaning turning point, so that’s what we did, altering course from west to south on reaching Robert Stevenson ’s lighthouse, tramping down a crumbling road in bright sunshine before striking out across the boggy moor to work our way back to the sea.

The coast around Cape Wrath is among the most dramatic in Britain. East of Kearvaig are the cliffs of Clò Mòr, at almost 1,000ft the highest on the mainland. South of the cape, the sandstone is softer and so more eroded and rotten, seamed with gullies. Approaching Geodha Ruadh na Fola, the clifftop lost its verdant edge to become a blasted wasteland of grit and pebbles. The Gaelic translates as bloody cove, and I could see why. The dizzying red cliffs, hundreds of feet high, were haemorrhaging sand blown up the cliff by the brisk northwesterly to tear at its rim. As we turned to leave, a mournful howl emerged from the cliffs, amplified by the walls of rock so that it swelled as it climbed, a round, musical lament with no apparent source. I felt my heart race and the hair on my neck prickle at this disembodied song, so loud and unexpected. Then I spotted them. Six grey seals, out on a platform beneath the cliffs, and two more in the water.

They were more than 200 metres away and yet their singing was all around us. In The People of the Sea , David Thomson’s haunting exploration of seals as shapeshifters – the selkie myths – he records how men were drawn to this singing to discover seal-women who had shed their skins, on land and were vulnerable. Those who knew better let them slip back into the waves unmolested. Their song is echoed in local music, and there are stories of seals that picked up a tune where its human singer left it. Lacking the skill, we turned away and walked on to Sandwood Bay. Meadowlands (TV Series 2007) - IMDb IMDb There was an error trying to load your rating for this title.

I knew nothing at all about it going into the first episode but I will definitely be watching more. I don't want to give anything away as to what Meadowlands is about but I would best describe it as a cross between The Prisoner and Twin Peaks. Nice to see an English cast and UK filming. I thought Showtime were an American company?

If you like your TV a bit out of the ordinary with quirky characters and an air of mystery then this is for you. This series has huge potential.

Hotel has 40,000 acres of protected land, much of which is a site of special scientific interest; under the stewardship of SNH due to the rare flora and fauna, such as the unique Primula Scotica, waiting to enchant you and of course, the famous Clo Mor Cliffs, 281 meters (920 ft), the highest cliffs in the country, which are home to thousands of sea birds.

All the lochs are fly only, and boats are available for hire.

The lochs can be found on OS Map 9 "Cape Wrath" 1:50,000 series.

The Cape Wrath Lochs Borralie This loch lies at the back of the hotel. It is a large loch with an island about half way down. Casting from the bank is fairly easy, but the water is usually crystal clear so you have to be wary of scaring any fish lying near the bank. The fish in these lochs are very silvery with lots of black spots, more like sea trout than browns, they also grow very big with a 2lb trout being a small one so fish with a stronger tippet than usual. Lanlish Situated on the golf course this small loch holds some of the biggest fish, with fish under 2 lbs to be returned to the water.

The wind in this corner of Scotland can be very strong and this loch with its open aspect can be difficult to fish, but it is worth the effort when you hook up to a fighting powerhouse that will take all your skill to land. Croispol You can look down on this loch from the road leading to Balnakeil Bay. The water is very clear and the weed on the bottom can be clearly seen from the boat with the bolt holes of the trout dotted here and there. A very demanding loch to fish.
