Found some time this morning to put up 25 images of The Sutherland Trail that Gina and I hiked a couple of weeks ago. I’ll be writing a descriptive route account for the November issue of TGO magazine and the route itself will be the feature of an hour long television documentary I’m working on for the BBC. That will be broadcast at Christmas this year. There will also be a DVD available.

In short the route runs from Lochinver to Tongue in the north-west highlands of Scotland. It’s about 70-odd miles in length but you can lengthen that by climbing some of the marvellous hills en route, like Suilven, Canisp, Ben More Assynt and Conival, Glas Bheinn, Arkle, Meall Horn and Foinaven, Ben Hope and Ben Loyal. My own hope is that it will become a popular trail and bring some much-needed economic boost to the communities of Sutherland, one of the truly great wild areas of Scotland.
