TGO Challenge 2013 - Route Vetted!
The man from Seattle and the man from Blanefield says yes!
This year the weather will be superb.
My route takes me to the wilds of Torridon where I start off my little stroll across to Stonehaven.
If all goes to plan, I will celebrate my 200th Munro on route. But, if my last 3 pathetic crossings are anything to go by, then I will not.
Friday 10: over to Pollan Buidhe via Beinn Liath Mhor.
Saturday 11: over Sgurr Choinnich, Sgurr a Chaorachain and Maoile Lunndaidh.
Sunday 12: over Sgurr Fhuar-thuill, Sgurr a' Choire Ghlais, Carn nan Gobhar (where dehydrated champagne will be rehydrated and drunk!!) and then Sgurr na Ruaidhe
Monday 13: to Cannich
Tuesday 14: to Drumnadrochit
Wednesday 15: to Dalbeg
Thursday 16: to Aviemore
Friday 17: to Loch Avon via Bynach More
Saturday 18: to Cock Bridge
Sunday 19: to Ballater
Monday 20: to Gannoch
Tuesday 21: to Feughside
Wednesday 22: to Stonehaven.
And, if all goes to plan, I'll be on top of the World.
Much of my gear will be the same as before although I have invested in a Terra Nova Quasar 45 backpack.
I'll do a full gear list nearer the date.
I can recommend the TGO re-union at the Snake Pass Inn - March 8-10 - for anyone who enjoys a great meal in really good company!
Ok, I'll be there too - but don't let this put you off!
Oh, and the beer's good too.
This is not me! But, how cool is that!
Happy planning and vetting to all who are doing the 2013 TGOC.
