Cape Wrath Trail: rainy autumn brilliance

Blissful Hiker takes two out-and-backs from Oykel Bridge on the Cape Wrath Trail and learns that hiking in rain can still be soulful in fall colors. In this episode:It's rainy and bleak out to Knockdamph Bothy where Blissful meets the trail she walked to Glenn Douchery the previous day.The bothy is spooky and run-down, plus someone's already there, so they head back to Duag Bridge or "Schoolhouse" bothy, light and airy, cozy and, most important, empty. The following day is and easy walk but all in rain up the Oykel River where she discovers all the fishing huts along the way open and welcoming.MUSIC: Poema del Pastor Coya by Angel Lasala  as played by Alison Young, flute and Vicki Seldon, pianoSupport the Show.
