Body found in water in search for missing hiker, 65, who vanished on 'Britain's toughest walk' in the Scottish Highlands
A body has been found in the search for a hiker who disappeared while on 'Britain's toughest walk' in the Scottish Highlands. Bernard Trottet, 65, disappeared while traversing across the Cape Wrath path. He was last seen in Corryhully Bothy in Glenfinnan on Tuesday May 27. Scottish cops said the Swiss hiker was planning to walk north to Kinloch Hourn before heading to a campsite in the Morvich area, but he failed to arrive. Following a multi-day search, the force later said a body was found in the water in the Kinloch Hourn area just before 1pm on Monday. Police Scotland said: 'Formal identification has yet to take place, however, the family of Bernard Trottet, who was reported missing in the area, has been informed.' It added that it did not believe there were any suspicious circumstances surrounding the disappearance, and that a report will be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal, Scotland's public prosecution service. The Cape Wrath Trail is a 200-mile route the cuts through the Scottish Highlands and the West Coast of Scotland. It is considered one of the the toughest long distance walks in the UK. The difficulty of the route lies in it being completely unmarked, and running through extremely wild and rugged terrain. The trail is unlike other, prepared and marked routes that walkers can follow with ease. Instead, many parts of the route are pathless, meaning that a high level of navigational skill is required to attempt it. On top of this, there are also several unbridged river crossings that can be dangerous in the wrong circumstances.
