I started the Cape Wrath Trail last month and walked from Fort William to Dornie and then stopped due to an injury. Saturday morning I pick up the trail again and I hope to reach Cape Wrath in about ten days. But the big question is, what sort of weather can I expect this time of year? Also, what has the weather been like over the last 6 weeks or so? When I started in May it was very dry with a lot of the streams being completely dry, so what has the rainfall situation been like? More to the point, what are the chances of me being hit by a gale, particularly in the exposed bit between Rhiconich and Cape Wrath?

Well, it' Saturday and I have reached Rhiconich and it's tipping it down with rain with strong winds which forced me off the hills early. I'm a day ahead of schedule anyway so it doesn't really matter but it has been very dry up until now. Temperature about 8c last night at the bothy I was at. Just right for sleeping!
