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

Filmed on the 31/05/2017 since then my video skills and equipment has improved alot :)
Skye Trail follows remote Glen Sligachan to the beautiful bay at Camasunary where there is an MBA bothy. From here a vertiginous cliff path with fantastic views across the water to the Cuillin reaches. Stage 5 does go all way to Elgol but i decided to wild camp at Glen Scaladal bay just before Elgol.
Pass Sligachan Hotel. cross the Dunvegan road and the old stone bridge, built by Thomas Telford and take the path up Glen Sligachan. You will pass Loch an Athain on the right and then the much large Loch na Creitheach. At Camasunary there is a bothy unforgettably there was a alcoholic there who thought he owned the place i was not going stay there anyway had enough of bothies now there retirement homes for alcoholics. After the bothy its on the coast path with truly magnificent views across the waters of Loch Scavaig to the Cuillin - often reckoned to be the finest coastal view in the British Isles. There is a short rocky section above a steep drop, and after a couple of kilometres the path passes above another steep cliff, at times perilously close to the edge. Take great care on this section as walkers have fallen here. Then is was a steep walk down to Glen Scaladal bay which is was i decided to wild camp just before Elgol
