Britain 1: (Durness to) Cape Wrath to Durness

Posted on 14 May 20102 April 2021 by Rob Ainsley


Finally got to Cape Wrath today, to start the trip proper. Getting there involves a tiny, infrequent ferry boat from Durness across to the virtually uninhabited Cape Wrath peninsula.


On the peninsula itself, it’s a desolate 11-mile track to the lighthouse, the notional most north-westerly point on the British mainland.


Everyone else on the boat was going by minibus, so I had the road to myself both ways. It was all a bit fab.

Miles today: 26
Miles since Cape Wrath: 13
