Thanks. Seen both of those. That’s probably why this popped up on my YouTube suggestions.Robin, Walk with Wallace just posting up his atm

This is good timing. Looking at planning a route for September. Will probably only have time for half of it but gives me a great idea as to what to expect from the terrain.I enjoyed this guy’s CWT videos. He did the first part with his dog. I like his self deprecating manner.

There's supermarkets in Fort William, Ullapool and Durness. Small village shops in Shiel Bridge, Torridon, Poolewe and Kinlochbervie. Not sure about Kinlochewe I didn't go there. Don't know about sending yourself parcels but I don't see why not if you ask first.

The most I carried was 4 days of food and didn't post anywhere. But then I was quite fast (9 days, started at glenfinnan and had a nero in Ullapool) so would have been maybe 5-6 days max going a bit slower.
That is the difficulty for me, as I will be coming across to Uk a week earlier for stuff in London and having to quarantine as well, so I will be planning 3 weeks out. Really would like to take lighter 5C synthetic quilt to handle the moisture betterI took an 8c PHD Racer bag when we did it, last week in August first week in September, I'll probably take the same again this year but I'll check nearer the time.
Have a good trip.i am starting to confirm my plans for September. I will have about 10 days so plan to skip the first section: catch train to glenfinnian and start from there. Will see how far I get, but the plan will be to walk for 10-12h per day not much else to do! Would like to do a resupply, but need to figure out where.
Watched a few YT videos and looked at the maps: the acent/descents do not concern me (live in the alps), but with the boggy terrain, not sure what a good average pace is to use for planning. 2mph?
@craige To give me some idea of your pace, you were averaging approx 20+ miles per day for 9 days? How many hours a day were you hiking? thanks
Thank you - yes i think that will be the way to go. Had not thought about mailing it home. Great idea.Could you bring both and make a call before you leave the big smoke? Maybe someone could hold onto the redundant one until your finished or arrange to post it home to you? I don't mind helping out but presume you have friends/family over here anyway
