Description
The Cape Wrath Trail, is thought to be one of Britain's most challenging long-distance walks, it’s a 230-mile (370 kms) journey from Fort William to the secluded Cape Wrath lighthouse.
The route is unmarked, and runs through very wild and rugged terrain, often without a clear trail.
For Tales from the Trails at FWMF David Lintern ’will talk about his photo book ‘Thunder Road: Voices from the Cape Wrath Trail’, which combined portrait and landscape images made while walking the Cape Wrath Trail in May 2021, alongside the personal testimonies of those photographed, both visitor and resident.’ https://mountainfestival.co.uk/ticket/events/ocuk-tales-from-the-trails/
