Scottish National Trail Part 3 River Loyne to Cape Wrath

On Sunday 23/06/24 I completed the Scottish National Trail in 15d 22h 26m. In total my route added up to 884.7 km and 19923 m of ascent, averaging 55 km per day, with the longest day just shy of 69 km. Basically an ultramarathon every day for over 2 weeks, all while carrying a pack. My style was lightweight but not fully ultralight backpacking, walking rather than running. I wild camped throughout apart from one night in Blackburn bothy. I was self supported - in the earlier stages I lived off the land, then picked up a 3 day cache just outside Fort Augustus. A second cache at Inverlael was compromised by pine martens, necessitating a return taxi ride to Ullapool to resupply. I came in just over 2 days slower than Matt Girvan's 2020 self supported FKT of 13d 19h 35m, but was fully 2 days faster than Graham Nash's 2015 supported run, which was the time that Matt was aiming to beat when he set out. The journey is presented in three stages, this is the third, from the River Loyne to Cape Wrath, 276.8 km over 5.5 days.
