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.

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 ...

Summer solstice countdown 13/06/2019 Last night i camped at devils crack my secret wild camping location. This morning i will be heading back to Uig. On the way to Uig i found what looked like a ancient cairn of some type not listed on the OS map. Weather is a little bit better today. I made it to Uig where i charged up my gear for a bit while waiting for the 57C stagecoach bus to Portree. In Portree i got some fish and chips from from the harbour fish and chip take away. The fish and chips was not that crisp so can not say there in my top list of fish and chips but was ok. I had alook around portree not sure why as i have million times before was just kill time. There is a nice like coast path walk in the town. I got the  52 stagecoach bus to Broadford....
