Taming Torridon

Fantastic stuff dude, isn't Torridon just awesome I'm glad to have helped you get 2 weeks off work And feel for Rob falling in a bog right at the end...may or may not have done that on Monday

Thanks for advice on the order. I'm probably going to stay in hostels too to keep the focus on the walking.

No probs. I hope you get the weather

Possibly the best week of the year to have been in Torridon - fantastic .

Decent time for the etape too. It took me a good 50 minutes longer (plus some breaks on top of that) to plod round the route on a quiet day back at the start of January...and I thought I was going quite fast!

Cheers Malky. I think i've had three week long holidays in Torridon since 2015 and a single day where it actually rained. That's either reason to be very positive about my next week there in October, or very worried

4:30 was bang on what I'd hoped to do the Etape in. I almost did it to the second I just had one quick break at about 43 miles, plus I didn't have traffic to contend with on the A82. I drove up that way after Kinlochleven on the Saturday and having seen some of the driving/overtakes on it, there's absolutely no way I'd bike it on a normal day

Thanks Jackie, and thanks for organising the meet, even if I could only stay one night and be relatively sensible

I love Torridon and have a bit of a pipedream to live there one day, though this will need a lottery win or something

Falling in a bog during the driest May week for years is bad enough, but just to top it off there was a group of about 12 folk sunbathing on the rocks beside him when it happened. The whole Glen probably heard him swear.

That's an impressive TR jupe, and some cracking photo's too

Didn't happen to film it did you?

If only It wasn't a full-on faceplant, more a right-up-to-the-knees one. Indeed I think he was the only one to suffer that fate all week.

Thanks Mamoset
