Hiking across the Scottish Highlands

This week my quest to walk from John O'Groats to Land's End sees me hiking across Scotland and into the heart of the highlands. I battle blisters, hiking across some of the infamous bogs of Scotland and face fierce weather, however, I am rewarded with some of Scotland's finest views, incredible bothies and a sense on unparalleled freedom.

    Sorry if this has been suggested already but if you can get your hands on some “1000 mile socks” that should help. They are double layered socks and they work really well for me for running, I guess you may be able to achieve the same result by just wearing two pairs of socks. Good luck, I’m loving the series, just watch out for yourself 👍

    I feel your pain. Walking in wet shoes and socks is death for the feet. I did that on the C2C and, when I took my shoes off, the skin that was normally under my heel was behind my heel. I thought I'd have to stop but took a 2-day break and, with a couple of ibuprofen before setting off each day, was able to keep going. Waterproof socks help.
