DAY 12 — TGOC 2023 – St. Cyrus to Challenge Control in Montrose

Final Summary Video
A little stroll from St. Cyrus, where I completed the challenge yesterday to Montrose — passing the “traditional” strawberry factory (aka CHARLTON FRUIT FARM)

What another great day — weather and mood wise. I left my camping site at around 09:30 and was at the CHARLTON FRUIT FARM about an hour later for a full scotish breakfast and a strawberry tart.

Then I walked down to Kinnaber Links where I ended up last year and followed the beautiful and rather empty beach stretch to Montrose and the Park Hotel to sign out and receive my certificate, mug, and T-shirt.

MF – TGOC 2023 – and now 5km to Montrose

… and the first Cider … followed by another one …

At 19:00 we have a Challenge Dinner — I expect about 75 attendees. Tomorrow morning I will leave towards Edinburgh airport by train at around 07:45 for a flight to Düsseldorf leaving at noon.

DONE! Thanks for reading up and following my trip … next year I will (likely) pause and strongly consider doing it again 2025!
