Isle of Bute Coastal Circumnavigation (United Kingdom)

Submitted by Martin Rutherford on Sat, 10/24/2020 - 06:31am
Description

The route is not an 'official' route and so there are no distinctive way markers for the route, the only real way mark is to keep to the coast line with the water on your right or left depending on which direction, clockwise or anticlockwise you go. The terrain is part tarmac but mostly rocky and sandy beaches with a few open land trails. It is essential that the water tide times are taken into account when doing this route as some sections are not passable without low tide, I have put a further more detailed description of my attempt below.

McClellan Butte (WA)

Description

This trail is largely for those interested in heading up, steeply. Moderated with switchbacks at times, and with a gradual traverse when you need it, the rewards here are not without effort. The actual summit is a rock-scramble, but the views and the flower-packed west facing slope near the top can be enjoyed without making the true top. More than a few remaining old-growth trees and a soft tread make this a well-rounded hike whether it is a training hike or your weekend reward.

Wasatch 7 (UT)

Description

The Wasatch 7 is made up of the seven major peaks in the Wasatch range that surround Utah Valley. They include: Lone Peak, Mt. Timpanogos, Cascade Mountain, Provo Peak, Spanish Fork Peak, Loafer Mountain, and Mt. Nebo. Different routes will produce different total distances and elevation gains. Each peak gives a beautiful view of the valley and the other mountains in the Wasatch 7. FKT times start from the first step on the first peak to the last step on the last peak, so try to summit all 7 peaks in as few days as possible.

Description

From Grouse Gulch (Silverton side):  Run up the trail to American Grouse Pass (2.2 miles or so) then drop down about .75 miles towards American Basin. When the trail splits take the right and follow it up to Handies Pk (14,080 ft).  Note that the Hardrock 100 uses this route.
