The most beautiful cabin in the world?
Hi team, I hope you’re all well during this difficult time. I wanted to share today a few moments from a hike earlier in the year to one of my favourite places on earth.
In northern Scotland there lay an area on the map which has very little access. Only by ferry or by foot, with a 20+ km hike, each way across an area often used by the military.
During summer the area of Cape Wrath is popular with a shorter hike and ferry ride. Off-season, this becomes a little more challenging, with no official route.
As many of you know, I’m not a writer. I’ll let the images do the talking. We hiked the 45km route, and I forgot my hiking shoes! A typical Jack Harding move!
I don’t feel it’s suitable to provide a guide on this location out of respect, you can find more information on the Cape Wrath area if you search on Google.
You might notice a little difference with the edits, these are all edited with an old preset from back in 2018. A bit different from my usual style. What are your thoughts?
Images and adventure with Sam Rogers earlier in the year.
Early views on the trail. We spotted a few seals on the way!
This is a military area during certain parts of each month, we spotted this smoke grenade.
Lunchtime views across the area. Scotland or the Maldives?
It’s me…. scoffing cashew nuts. This was around the mid point on the hike.
A slightly different view of the bothy. Can you spot the person on the beach?
What a view! Late afternoon light bouncing off the cliffs towards the bothy.
In the bothy!
The mornings were cold by the Atlantic Ocean. With it being early in the year we needed wool under-layers.
Looking out onto the cliffs of Cape Wrath. It is the most north-westerly point in mainland Britain.
Bothy walks.
Looking out to the Ocean before bed time. It was really starting to get cold at this point!
Sam Rogers Photography in his element.
We spotted a few deer in the distance. Shot @ 200mm.
Morning views of the bothy.
If you visit any bothy in Scotland please clean up and leave no trace.
Goodnight.
All images were shot on Sony Alpha A7RIII or A7RIV. Lenses include Zeiss Distagon 35 1.4, Zeiss Batis 85 and Sony GM 70-200 2.8.
For those who are interested, the boots I was wearing are here. Probably the best pair of shoes I’ve ever owned, and British! This is not an advert.
