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.

Filmed on the 28/05/2017 since then my video skills and equipment has improved alot :) Trotternish is one of the most spectacular landscapes in Britain. The great ridge which forms its backbone is the longest on Skye, and its unique eastern escarpment has been broken by Europe's largest landslides into a remarkable landscape. A very long and challenging walk with much ascent and descent. There are some very steep parts up and down i managed it with a big backpack. You need a good level of fitness and know how to use a map or gps. Is possible to camp up on the ridge but its very exposed make sure you there no storms predicted. This part my Skye trail hike. I did this stage in one go. This stage is hard going if doing in one go with a backpack.
