This will depend on your plans and the situation that you find at the end. Generally speaking it’s not something I give much thought to at the start.
The “normal way” would be to walk to Cape Wrath, then exit to Durness either by shuttle bus then ferry or by foot then ferry. If on foot you could have a fine last night staying at Kearvaig Bothy en route.
If the bus is not running it’ll be by foot.
If the ferry is not running it’ll be a longish walk around the kyle to Durness. Unless of course you are a strong swimmer…
The situation when I was there precluded an exit via Durness. They were going to be bombing the next day, a Monday.
So after reaching the end I returned back southwards. Once I’d left the firing range I walked directly on a compass bearing to Strathchailleach bothy.
The following day was an easy walk out to the roadhead via the gorgeous Sandwood beach, from where I hitched in three easy steps to Ullapool.
