Did not want to do it again after the completed 2022 challenge. But hey … what else should I do in May?
I learned from my experiences from TGOC 2022 — bought a new tent (DURSTON MID) with only 800g, and also a down quilt instead of a normal sleeping bag (500g) — see LEARNINGS SUMMARY TGOC 2022 — or better just see the post below.
I got a DURSTON tent (800g) and a 0 degree quilt (Thermarest) and planned an overall trip with just few MUNROS (mountains over 3.000 feet), but typically 30km per day.
I will spend Night 3 in a super-remote Youthostel (Loch Ossian), Night 6 in a clamping unit in Blair Atholl, and Day 10 in a nice Hotel (Glen Glova) … all other nights in my one man tent.
I will travel on May 12th by train to FRANKFURT airport and then fly to GLASGOW. Transfer to the QUEEN STATION train station for the scenic ride to OBAN, where I should arrive early evening. If I still need supplies I will be able to buy them in the morning and then off I go for a long first day (10 hour hike).
