I agree with Louise - be prepared for 4 seasons over the duration of the Challenge.

I've been in blizzards in June and September and have heard that it can snow in any

month of the year in Scotland.

I think the only certainty is we will have lots of weather. In the 14 challenges I've completed the score is on 14 it rained, on 14 it was sunny, on 14 it hailed, on 14 it was windy, on 13 it snowed. The Challenge motto should be: Be prepared for the worst, hope for the best.

Cheers for the comments. I'm prepped for the cold and rain but just wanted to gage what others thought of the weather this year.
Not long now, Woohoo.

Phil I was having the same dilemma,trail shoes or boots ?. On a recent trip staying at the Taft Hotel I woke up to a couple of inches of snow, so on with the Sealskin socks and all was well with the world. Trail shoes it is for me.
