Day Three on the The Cambrian Way mountain trail 479 km (298 miles) with a total ascent of 22,460 m (73,700 ft). I think it could be Britain's hardest long distance trail. Its hard to say but looking at the map i think i started todays episode around the Mynydd Garnclochdy area i want give exact camping locations away. I was so wet from the rain all night i set about getting ready to walk around 4am just to keep warm. I was no risk at cold from the time of Year and in good health. So walked back up towards Mynydd Garnclochdy i think. The rain came back on top the hill. The rain was very bad so much so i could only see about couple of meters ahead what with the mist as well as the dark even with two powerful lights. By this time my cannon camera was destroyed by the weather i should know by now and my phone was useless take note people think phone navigation fine lucky i know this i used my garmin fenix3 gps watch with the track loaded onto so i knew i was heading in the general dir

Teampull Mor ancient ruins on a marsh island & wild camping
My pre summer solstice trip to Scotland June 2019.
Summer solstice countdown 09/June/2019 day 5
Last night i camped on a beach near Daliburgh in the morning i had a Summit To Eat Beef Stew With Potato and a Lyons No3 Coffee Bag for me coffee. From there i walked back to Co-op Food at Daliburgh to restock on food i did not need. No buses today so its going be hitchhiking but if i was to catch a bus to Howmore i would get the w17. Ok so i got a lift with a local always interesting speaking to the locals 99% locals i spoke to did not seem to keen on the increase in tourism here where as i am trying promote tourism in a echo friendly way that i hope is good for locals in some way and good for the tourist learning some thing new and maybe spending on local produced goods and independent local business ok i guess the co op does put some money back into the local area but if possible i do shop in independent shops.
At Howmore is Teampull Mor which is a group of ruined chapels churches and a sparsely occupied graveyard that occupies much of the area of the complex.on what use be a island sounded by marshland. One of its most important attractions is also one of its least obvious. There is Caibeal Dubhghaill, Dougall's Chapel. Teampull Mor, also know as St Mary's or the Large Church. Caibeal Dhairmaid, St Dermot's Chapel. Caibeal Chlann 'ic Ailein, Clan Ranald's Chapel. Teampull Mor may have origins as early as the 1200s. Until it was stolen in 1990, Clan Ranald's Chapel was home to the Clan Ranald Stone. After the stone was recovered in London five years later, it was put on display in the nearby Kildonan Museum. What seems to be the most recent grave is also the most poignant. Outside the walled area and a little way back towards the road is a simple wooden enclosure. Within it lies a military headstone commemorating "A Sailor of the Great War - Royal Navy
I wild camped at the mouth of the river on the beach there there some benches and wild camping spots. Camper vans seem camp up by the church that is still in use. There is a Hostel which is right next to the ruins as well.
