Food, a log fire and friendship on the Cape Wrath Trail
February 16th 2021
Gerry’s hostel is a firm favourite with Cape Wrath Trail walkers. Most stay at Gerry’s hostel after a night at Maol-Bhuidhe Bothy, which is run by the Mountain Bothies Association. After a much more comfortable night at Gerry’s Hostel many then walk on to stay at Kinlochewe Bunkhouse another lovely hostel in the Independent Hostel UK network.
