I'm leaving for my walk across Scotland at the crack of dawn tomorrow,
and since I'm having trouble posting at the moment I decided to do it
now, while the going is good.

It's hard to believe that this day has come round so quickly! It seems
like only a month or so ago since I was reading the article in TGO and
worrying that I'd never get a place 🙂

Anyway, bye for now, y'all: I hope to see you again in 2.5 weeks. Play
nicely while I'm gone, now ;-)

Good luck and enjoy your trip !

All the best, Peewiglet.

Hope you have a great time......really jealous that I'm not on the
challenge (maybe next year(?))

Good luck and have fun. Mind you come home safe and sound
with plenty of photos and a TR so we can all 'join' you on the
route.

Enjoy your trip - and may the weather up there be like what it's here
right now: lots of sunshine. You know we're all looking forward to your
report!

Blimey that's early. I thought it always started about 12/13th. Which
route are you doing?

Two weeks of lugging a very heavy backpack along unforgiving Scottish roads

(for when you're in the internet cafe in Aviemore?Braemar ;-)...that sounds
a bit like a mix of the two routes I did. First time was Oban, Loch Etive,
Loch Rannoch, Loch Tummel, Blair Atholl, Glen Tilt, Braemar and out. Second
time was Shiel Bridge, Glen Affric, Loch Ness, Drumnadrochit and Ferry
across Loch, Aviemore, Braemar and out.

May the wind and the sun be always on your back and the midges and ticks
biting someone else...

Small technical point, but if the sun's always on your back then you
wouldn't actually go very far?? I mean you'd go broadly north, but the
whole east - west thing would only work if you restricted your walking
to afternoons.

Oh, and :-), just in case...

Come on then Bob, your ideas are...? Are there no maps in the RAL
library?

I'm at the other place, myself. Not now though, I'm at home.

Ah, that Tony Buckley. I'm at home myself (now). No time to peruse maps
then! I was going to try and find a well known peak for the picnic lunch.
The best I had was Grasmere to High Raise and then down NE to the road
again.

.... in boiling hot weather.

Nobody says you /have/ to go up Munros. The old drove roads are a
delight on the most part, mind you could well end up bog-slogging
along "paths" like that through An Caorann Mor. :-(

Just back from Loch Ba and not a midge in sight 🙂 There is still a little
snow in the crevices on the tops but not a lot. The weather reached 20°C on
Saturday although the wind was chilly at times and it was cold at night.
