Whoops. How did that happen? I'll see if I can fix the title.

I've read quite a bit of his blog on his Dover-Cape Wrath walk, wild camp every night. I started reading it motivated by wanting to know where he managed to wild camp in the South east of England and ended up carrying on to Cape Wrath.

I was dipping in and out when on the GR5 - he seemed to get it done quickly.. but time seems odd these days..

He has a very understanding partner

53 days is a good lick

For years I've been wanting to do a straight line route up the UK (the only one possible, as it goes over the Fourth and Tay bridges), from the southern tip of Hayling island to the north coast East of Cape Wrath. Crossing private land in the SE looks like a challenge...
