In August 2012 I'm braving the midges and the Highland weather and walking over 200 miles from the Great Glen to Cape Wrath at the North-Western tip of the British mainland, not by the shortest, quickest or easiest route, but via as many mountain tops as the weather will permit me, and all in aid of Cancer Research UK.

A gentle start

Yesterday I got out in my local hills for a 'gentle start' to my training.

25km, 600m ascent, 5 hours in total.  Here's a map of my route:


Overall a pretty good start - a fair distance, a heavy rucksack, and most importantly plenty of bog, clag and midges!


These are lovely hills with lovely views I'm sure, but aside the odd glimpse through the clag there wasn't much to see up there yesterday.  Here are some pictures:







All in all a nice start to the regime. Tomorrow I'm heading up North to take on a few munros and corbetts in Glen Spean, possibly a wee tad more challenging!

Thanks for all the donations so far, keep em coming for this brilliant cause!
