Sorry to read that you had to drop out. At least you were able to enjoy the first part of the trip. I agree on these hydro tracks. The Allt Garbh one is an abomination

Ah William! So sorry to read you had to retire. I've been there, and it is miserable. When I retired in 2013 I'd had an (unusual for me) asthma attack and as I was heading alone into wild country it never even entered my head that I could continue. Last year I was suffering unbearable pain 24hrs a day, the Challenge has to be enjoyable or there's no point, so I understand your decision and empathise. You'll be back, I hope!

I will enter next year. I have the second half of my crossing vetted and approved! Just have to figure out where to start and how to get to the Red Bothy by different route.

William :flag-bb:

I'll send you details of the routes I've used in the past to get to Red Bothy. It won't be until Monday, I'm just nipping out for a quick walk.
