As a medical man, I think I'd downgrade the diagnosis to "pleasantly potty", in the full knowledge that it's highly contagious, and we've all got it to a degree, whether just as carriers and or as full blown sufferers..

Maybe you'd have felt a little better if you hadn't had that "paste" for your tea... :wink:

Well done on yet another marathon hill trip. You certainly push yourself to the limit but you are always cheerful with it! Love the two photos of Loch Ossian - that must make it all worth-while.

Wow, that's another long walk/big ascent to be carrying a heavy pack over. I'm impressed! I love the idea of camping in the middle of nowhere, but don't much like the idea of lugging gear there and back. It's bad enough flogging up a steep climb at the end of a long day with only a few kgs on one's back...

Smashing report, and some great pics, as usual. :clap: :clap: :clap:

Great report and very inspiring.

I hope you don't mind me asking but :wink:

What pack weight do you carry when you start a walk like this?

Thanks

:crazy:

My bag is usually between 14-15 kilos when I start and have all the food and water with me and goes down to 12 kilos at the end (which is a much better weight) :D
