Backpacking and camping over 6 or 7 days, to find out if I can handle October temperatures.
Anyone else interested?

Starting it on 15th October & planning to do Ben Lomond, (maybe Ben Challum), Beinn Dorian/Beinn an Dothaidh & Mam Na Gualainn along the way (weather permitting).

We're taking the B&B & baggage carrier option though :)

Be interested to hear how you get on

Enjoy

Done it twice before Andrew. You can easily spot the people carrying their gear for the week, they're the ones who look done in. :wink:

We'll be the ones with the 25l packs & a spring in our steps.
