Servus Tim,
thank you very much for your input ... seems there is a bit misunderstanding .. we're not going to climb Bidean CS at the end of the day but in the morning .. All alternatives calculate with this and we try to take in the account an elevation profile .. Please look on image
* C1 is supposed to be a first camp at the end of day #1
* C3 is supposed to be second camp at the end of day #2 .. B-D is 14km with elevation profile +/- 1500m (there's a bug in gpx.studio so the actually the elevation profile calculation is not accurate and we count with 150% ..)
* C4 is camp at the end of day #3
* C5 is camp at the end of day #4 - we'll do here a short side-trek to Fall of Glomach from C4
* in the day #5 the camp will be around somewhere between points J and K
* finally day #6 will be return back to the L
as I've noted earlier, we have multiple escape routes (and plans B and C) in case the trail won't go as good as we expect and we'll spend in Scotland 9 nights in total so there's one night in reserve assuming that we'll mandatory spend after arrival and before departure in Inverness
cheers, ~dan
