TGO Challenge 2018 Dairy: Ardnamurchan Point to Kinnaber Links



A little late, but here's my take on Phil's, Andy's and my last year's Challenge, from the Point of Ardnamurchan cafe to the Charleton Farm cafe and Kinnaber Links.

The first two posts are now up on my blog:

Ardnamurchan Point to Kinnaber Links, Direct! The Prologue

and

Ardnamurchan Point to Kinnaber Links, Direct! DAY 0

Enjoy!

Nice! Very, very nice!

I'm chomping at the bit, waiting to read the rest of the report - bring it on :-)

DAY 1 is now up and ready for your delight and delectation. In which we sit out a storm in a wonderful cafe, eating fine comestibles and then sup fine wines in the Great Hall... It's true, I tell you!

Day Two of the Jolly Boys outing across Scotland! In which JJ is maligned, threatened with death, and worse... (Whoops!)

There's also a bonus track of our 25th Annual PreWalkDaunder, held this year in the English Lake District.

Ardnamurchan Point to Kinnaber Links, Direct! DAY 2

Well with an intro like that you're bound to get more hits on your blog!

Re: TGO Challenge 2018 Dairy: Ardnamurchan Point to Kinnaber Links

As Blogger doesn’t like me commenting, I shall comment here! Haven’t you realised Andy is actually a cyborg and if he’s not been in communication with the internet for more than 48 hours, his systems go into standby mode, hence his bowels go on strike :sweat_smile:

Will you finish your 2018 diary before the start of the 2019 Challenge? It's going to be close.

Day Three of the Gang of Three's walk within the narrow confines of our ten kilometre corridor. In which we meet Gussie Fink-Nottle and the Fragrant Sue to escort us on our oh-so-important Easy Day Three. Two pubs, purely for re-hydration's sake and flat cotton sheets and fluffy towels.

It's all here! Rufty-Tufty B*st*rds or what?

Ardnamurchan Point to Kinnaber Links, Direct! DAY 3

Enjoy!

Re: TGO Challenge 2018 Dairy: Ardnamurchan Point to Kinnaber Links



Okay, there's been a little gap since the last update but keen followers of Challenge Misery will be please to learn that another two episodes are now written up.

DAY 4: In which Lord Elpus ventilates his private parts and the Joint Coordinator requests a bolt gun.

DAY 5: Loons' nadgers, dodging a bolt gun, a cunning plan and hell in paradise.

Enjoy!

:grinning:

Re: TGO Challenge 2018 Dairy: Ardnamurchan Point to Kinnaber Links



Things are moving along quite nicely now and the next two days are now written up for your entertainment.


DAY SIX: High voltage northings, Hilaire Belloc, lunchtime lassitude, the wrong hill and a cheese and wine party.

DAY SEVEN: Heaven on Earth, shared with some Scallywags


Enjoy!

:slightly_smiling_face:

Re: TGO Challenge 2018 Dairy: Ardnamurchan Point to Kinnaber Links



And moving on again, Days 8 & 9 are now finished. At this rate I might even finish 2018's write up before we start walking 2020's Challenge...

DAY EIGHT: Tips for 1st timers and a young cavalry officer remembers...

DAY NINE: Lunch with a Great Aunt, Harry & Meghan, and the Marquess of Montrose. Sunshine & happiness


:slightly_smiling_face:

Re: TGO Challenge 2018 Dairy: Ardnamurchan Point to Kinnaber Links



Days 10, 11 and 12 are now up on my blog:

DAY TEN: Dead men walking and Gorblimey Trousers

DAYS ELEVEN & TWELVE: Bogs, Assault bridges and an electrocution


Enjoy!

Re: TGO Challenge 2018 Dairy: Ardnamurchan Point to Kinnaber Links



I've finished the write up, just a year or so late... You can find the Index by clicking on the link below, Clicking on each of the links in the index opens that day's post in a new tab.

Now all I need to do is write up 2019's crossing before we head to the west coast for this year's walk...

Enjoy!
