Day 1 – Knoydart – 25km, 1,400 altitude meters – aweful weather and too strenuous first day ðŸ¥º

At 10:15 I boarded the ferry to Inverie … with 20 other challengers … many of them in sneakers! How stupid is that!

Met a german on the ferry and we walked the first 3k together — eternally grateful, because he gave me his spare gas cartridge for my cooker — the german custom took it!

Pretty lousy weather and I can already say that it was miserable pretty much the whole day. The weather forecast said 15mm from 11-20:00 and a 40%-80% … well it was 40mm (my guess) and 100%!! And since it rained for the last few days here many rivers were impassable without taking your shoes off. All in all a terrible start … boots wet, clothes wet.

Below find some photos and videos of the first day. Took me over 8 hours without break 😥

Rained through the night and into the morning. So I left a little late … hope i can catch up with my plan.
