#HikeWithHiiker #HebrideanWay
🥾 The Hebridean Way 🏴4/10
ℹ️Stats - Date: 31st August 2022
Weather: sunny ☀️, blue skies and a little bit of wind 💨
From: jetty at cuinabunag
Start time: 6.45am
To: 3 miles before Loch Maddy
End time: 6.30pm
Accommodation: wild camped ⛺️
Terrain: road walking at the start and finish. With a boggy section near the start and some quite nice muddy/grassy paths later on. Plus some lovely beaches as well.
Bugs: midges - when we finished the days walk there was an insane amount flying about. They were everywhere. Luckily wearing head nets really did make a difference - especially when putting up the tents.
🥾Miles: 17.7
🦶Steps: 36,621
💰Costs: home made local fudge £3.45
Subjective feeling out of 10 on:
Enjoyment: 8 /10 - what a view to wake up to in the morning 😍
Fatigue: 7/10 - still feeling pretty tired and exhausted. I think I forgotten how hard it is walking with a backpack for long distances every day.
It normally takes me about a week for my body to adapt. But this hike will be over in 10 days.
I think going forward for the shorter hikes I need to give myself more time to take the pressure off. Because at the moment we are getting up super early and walking all day with very few beaks in order to get the miles done and make sure we get to where we need to get to.
Ease of terrain: 7/10 - tough terrain - especially on the feet. Lots of road walking , lots of hard surfaces and a few bogs to go through.
Highlights - incredible views over the moors. Recording a very funny TikTok on the trig point. buying home-made fudge from a gorgeous little pottery place 😋. They also refilled our water which was awesome.
Challenges - the midges are always challenging. As soon as they start flying about your face. It changes everything. 👉And what was once an enjoyable day becomes hellish. I would not wish this on anyone.
