Thanks, that's an excellent description of the walk with really good practical advice. I wouldn't be able to complete that in a day so it'll have to be a "fast and light" overnighter (without much "fast" I'm afraid!), hopefully next May/June.

Great effort! I think we heard you pass us just after Carn nan Gobhar summit around 5am, we were camped high. To do that round in less than 24 hours in THAT heat is impressive. The lack of water was a real challenge.

Fantastic achievement and amazing fitness levels and mental strength. Impressive that you all still had something left in the tank at the end :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: . Really enjoyed reading that and learned a lot - I'm planning on doing the circuit this year but over three days :D .

12 munros in a day....totally pointless , obviously no real interest in the hills , just ticking a list for bragging rights. Boring 😴

Hi mate,

first of all, what an absolutely amazing acheivement! The effort that must've been involved in completing the 12 of these in well under 24hrs is nothing short of astonishing!
I've been seeking out a challenge for me and a friend to raise money for charity and I belive this is the one for us. Would you be willing to get in touch with me privately through Facebook, Instagram, or even YouTube so that I could maybe pick your brains about this?

I go under the banner of Mountain'sPeak on most social media platforms and would be extremely grateful for your help with this.

Again, congratulations on what will surely be a experince never forgotten.

Well done! So far it took me 4 individual days to complete the round from different angles. Age is taking its toll but nonetheless I would try it again in one go (over 3 days of course)
Walking with the big pack slows one down but picking the wrong routes doesnt help either :roll:
