Good start Robin, despite the blisters and err... 'other problem' 😁. I've attempted the CWT twice and still haven't completed it for one reason or another. On both of my attempts (the first time was in 2000) I used the original North to the Cape book so the route you did was all new to me, the two routes converge in Glen Dessary. If/when I get around to having another go, I will try the Glenfinnan route. All the best, Gary.

@@WalkWithWallace The original North to the Cape book goes across on the ferry and then follows the road alongside Loch Eil for around nine miles. It then crosses the road to Glenfinnan before passing close to Gulvain en route to Strathan. The road section is tedious after the first couple of miles but the route is shorter.

It was bliss, but the weight of the food was the biggest problem, and that was only for 3 days and nights. I had metatarsal numbness for about 8 months afterwards, and I wore walking boots. And despite all the food I took, it still wasn't quite enough - I was starving when I got home!

Cheers Mark. I was using Gehwol foot cream to begin with as a lot of hikers rave about the stuff, I didn't get on with it though. These blisters were human error for me. I didn't tighten my laces across the whole foot allowing a bit of heel rub. School boy error. Sudacreme is a bit thick now you mention it. 😄

Cheers Olly, I think it's more common starting from the south. Finishing at the lighthouse is more appealing than Fort William. However getting the logistics out of the way first does make a northern start advantageous. 😁
