Day 8 - Kinlochbervie to Cape Wrath
So. This is the day that takes you along the glorious beach of Sandwood Bay, to The Atlantic Sea proper and on to Cape Wrath and the Lighthouse, the most north-westerly point in the UK: A day to savour. It’s a deliberately shorter day. After finishing here, there will be a gradual minibus and ferry evacuation back to civilisation in the village of Durness, 15 miles away, and a fitting sea loch coastal symmetry with the start, 8 days earlier. Once based in Durness, we hope that you have time to visit the beautiful beach just below the campsite, and nearby Smoo cave. In the evening, it’s time to celebrate, and in the morning, time to climb onto coaches and wave goodbye to the far north of Scotland.

Warning
If you plan to explore the Day 8 route, please be aware that the northernmost section is owned by the Ministry of Defence, and they have a tendency to drop bombs fairly frequently. You are welcome to cross the area, just make sure you check to see if they have any activities planned first! If you see any red flags, that means you should not enter. There is usually information available on their planned activities at the Sandwood Bay car park, and online here. Feel free to contact us for more information.
