I Solo Hiked Scotland’s Hardest Trail with My Dog | Starting the Cape Wrath Trail

☕ If you like the videos and want to support our next adventure: https://buymeacoffee.com/ellihikes The Cape Wrath Trail is often called one of the toughest long-distance hikes in the UK: 380km through some of Scotland’s wildest and most remote landscapes, with river crossings, rough and pathless terrain and very little civilisation along the way. In April 2026, my dog Otto and I set off to attempt a full thru-hike from Fort William to Cape Wrath. Come join us for part 1 of our adventure as we leave Fort William and slowly head deeper into the Highlands, walking through Cona Glen, Glenfinnan and Glen Dessarry. We started in seriously wet conditions, navigating our first boggy and pathless sections and I soon had my first low moment of the trail. But the scenery more than made up for it and when the sun finally came out, the constant wet feet and slow progress were quickly forgotten 😉 Stay tuned for part 2 ✌️ Happy Hiking and lots of love, Elli and Otto 🐕‍🦺 🔔 Please subscribe (it’s free :)) if you liked the video and don't want to miss our next hiking adventures :) 🙌 Do you want to help fuel our next adventure? ☕ https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Ellihikes ☕ https://ko-fi.com/ellihikes Your support goes a long way and helps me to keep creating videos!
