Mandy had wanted to try do a TGOC crossing with the whole family this year, before the boys finish school and all go their separate ways. By the time registration came around, Mandy had started a new full-time job 😢, and Ty was planning some summer races😠- so that left Ben, Sam and I. I am sad that Mandy and Ty won't be there, but I am excited I will get to share the experience with Sam and Ben.
We have submitted an ambitious route planned, but I know the boys are up to the task - as long as they wait up for their old man! Highlights will include:
- Loch Morar and the Sgurr na h-Aide ridge
- Glen Finnan Viaduct (from the Harry Potter movies)
- Seeing and walking around Ben Nevis (tallest mountain in the UK)
- The bridge at Corrour Station (from the Trainspotting movie)
- Camping near Falls of Tarff, and walking up Glen Tilt again
- Climbing Lochnagar
- Experiencing Tarfside for the first time
- Finishing on the beach at St. Cyrus again
I am on the mend from a pretty serious back issue that had me off my feet for the better part of two months, but my recovery has been progressing, and I will try to do all the right things to make sure I am ready in time. Fingers crossed, and please send any positive vibes you can!
