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 made a massive mistake on the way back yesterday i needed make it to Fort William bus station to catch the citylink bus to Glasgow or so i thought it turned out i got on the prebooked citylink bus a day early and they did not notice and i did not realise until i was sat in Glasgow bus station waiting for the national express bus to Birmingham when i looked at the ticket i realised i made a massive mistake and now i was in Glasgow a day early with no where to stay. What i could done is get the train to Loch lomond and wild camped there would saved alot money. But i was tired i looked at hotel prices i manged to get a travelodge for £39 which is a very good price as was in city centre but still hell lot money for me but hey it was a great treat.
My public transport coasts for the whole trip. I got the bus from Birmingham to Glasgow on National express if you book a good time in advance you can get the ticket as low as £5 one way. I got it for £22 return still very good value i got NX 336 bus from Birmingham at 22.30 and arrived in Glasgow at 06.20 the next day. If you sign up to
In this video for the first 15 mintues .31 seconds i talk about the coasts of the public transport if you wish to skip this bit to the the three lochs way bit. https://www.topcashback.co.uk/ref/freemoneycashback for free your get cashback on as well which i do. From Glasgow i booked the citylink bus online this way in advance you some times get a better deal i paid £13.70 for a one way from Glasgow to Oban. Adult on foot pays £15.15 one way from Oban to Castle bay on Barra. On Barra there is a bus service with a mini bus but hitchhiking is easy and a better option. The ferry from Barra to Eriskay South uist is £3.15 one way. again there are buses but your find it much faster by hitchhiking altho hitching is free feel free to offer some cash towards the fuel in Britain you do not have to but but if you wish to i am sure driver will appreciate that. North Uist to Harris on the ferry is £3.70. The bus service on Harris is alot better to be honest but you can also hitchhike there. it is £6.50 one way from Harris Tabert to Uig isle of skye. I no longer like hitchhiking on this busy parts of Skye as not so easy and there are buses. Isle of skye ferry to Mallaig is just £3.00. From Mallaig to Fort william £6.10 i booked in advance on the citylink website it is only a mini bus so you may want book incase its busy. Same for Fort william to Glasgow i booked online with citylink for £19.20.
Check out tiime at the travelodge was 11am and my coach back to Birmingham was not till 19.30 so having been to Balloch at the end of my Three Lochs Way hike i new i could get the train cheap there for just £6.20 for a day return from Glasgow queens street train station. Balloch also next to Loch Lomond and i was there in Winter 2016 when i did the whole Three lochs way. I think the stats for the three lochs way is only around 300 a year complete the whole trail in one go way more peaceful than The west highland way. But i do love the west highland way is social hike is not one to do if you like to be in peace. on this occasion i only walked up a high on the trail as it was just kill time while waiting for my bus. I have also added some photos when i did the whole trail back in 2016. So after a walk up the hill from Balloch on the three lochs way i headed back down to catch the train back to Glasgow. This train i think often is late so i got a more early train back incase and indeed there was a slight delay but no problem as i got a more ealy train. I had a under two hours wait at the bus station. I got back to Birmingham on time.
