Re: A Challenge less challenging

There are many new tracks showing on the up to date OS maps now that would mean you can cross the Monadhliath much easier now with as little as 1km of open ground to cross between tracks. Other than that, there is the Corrieyairack Pass, which is a track all the way from the Great Glen to the Spey, but it is rough going and steep in places. Up to date maps and geograph.org will help.

Re: A Challenge less challenging

Hi Andy

Both Google Maps & Bing Maps have aerial photo views that often show tracks, wind farms & hydro schemes that are not yet on the latest maps - can be very useful.

You might also get the odd (sometimes very odd!) inspiration from the Challenge Diaries on the TGOC section at Doodlecat.com. These often note the distance and ascent of each day, and comment on the terrain encountered.

OK, the ones from the 1980s may be a tad out of date now, but there are quite a few contemporary accounts to browse.
