Highland Trail 550 2018 - Day 6

We reckon as we leave the shop in Ullapool that we are about 3 hours down on last years time, so a decent day will give us a chance of beating our 2017 time.

How things change given a bit of perseverance.

The first challenge of the day the Coffin route over to Dundonnell. Steep up up up.


Next over the hill towards Strath na Sealga.


Shenavall bothy which was busy though long before nightfall.


No wet feet getting to the river crossing, nor in crossing it.


We rode most of the valley climb this time before the proper steep stuff.





Then after the delights of Fisherfield, we have the Postman's path to Kinlochewe.


The midges chased us to Kinlochewe, and the toilets there were locked.

Camping again was a midgetastic nightmare.
