Harvey Maps have just launched a map to the epic hillwalking challenge that is the Charlie Ramsay Round. Covering 24 Munros it is often tackled as a 24 hour challenge.
Harvey Maps say, “In June 1964 Philip Tranter, son of the author Nigel Tranter, was the first to cover all of these mountains in a single trip, taking in the Mamores, the Grey Corries, the Aonachs, Carn Mor Dearg and Ben Nevis. Could Tranter’s round be extended to 24 Munros within 24 hours? At 12 noon on Saturday 8th July 1978, Charlie Ramsay left Glen Nevis Youth Hostel, travelling anticlockwise, heading onto the Mamores. He returned to the youth hostel having completed the circuit in 23h 58m on Sunday 9th July with only 2 minutes to spare. The Charlie Ramsay Round was a reality. 24 Munros within 24 hours: The round’s original benchmark.
This map joins the extremely successful HARVEY maps of the Bob Graham Round and the Paddy Buckley Round.”
The map is 100% waterproof, is printed on virtually indestructible paper, and as well as Harvey’s distinctive mapping it contains history notes, useful advice and other information and is priced at £12. For further details see the Harvey Maps website.
