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

I walked to the main road from there i hitchhiked to Creagorry there is a co op supermarket there i should restocked there but i did not. You can get the w17 bus from Homore to Creagorry as well. From Creagorry i hitchhiked to Trinity Temple you can also get a bus there to.
Trinity Temple is in Carnish. Trinity Temple is a historic ruin, listed as of European significance and possibly Scotland’s oldest University. is the remains of a medieval monastery and college, founded by Beathag, daughter of Somerled. The building has been extended up to the 16th Century, but destroyed after the reformation. Again restored in the 19th Century by Dotair Ban.
