GPX file downloads

We are delighted to release the final and updated GPX file for the 2025 edition of the Cape Wrath Update. We strongly advise that you download these updated files to any navigational device(s) you intend to use during the event.

All the files have had some changes, and we would like to highlight the following important updates to you:

  • Day 1. Callop Pier, the footbridge crossing Gallop River about 1km before the Overnight Camp, has finally been repaired and is open to the public again. This means the route reverts to its original format, finishing at the Overnight Camp, rather than in the forest car park before the bridge. This is shown correctly on the event maps.

  • Day 4. The printed map is incorrect. We have a new Overnight Camp in Kinlochewe, which is located in the large and open fields immediately after the village. This is a very late change to the route due to complex stakeholder negotiations in this area. Because the map had already gone to print, this change is only shown on the digital Avenza map and the GPX files. One of the benefits of this change is that all the participants will now pass the shops and cafes in Kinlochewe, and the village pub is only 700m away. It has made days 4 and 5 fractionally shorter.

  • Day 5. Is slightly shorter, because the route now starts from the new Overnight Camp.

  • Day 6. The printed map is incorrect. Another late change due to stakeholder negotiations and ongoing harvesting operations in the forest. After the Oykel Bridge Hotel (~34km), through to Loch Ailish (~48km), the route will follow the path next to the River Oykel rather than deviate into the forest (as shown on the map). Please be alert to ‘Cape Wrath Trail’ signs in this area that will point you into the forest and away from the river path. Ignore these and follow the GPX file we have provided you.
