Another trip up the Pap pf Glencoe before work this morning; pretty much a walk-up, jog-down type of affair!
The highest mountains in Glencoe were claggy in the early hours but the top of the pap was free of cloud. Sheets of light rain passed through and it was breezy but not too windy. In general, it felt warmer than yesterday and there had been no fresh snow overnight.
I have been up the Pap in training lots of times now but I felt that today passed much more quickly than usual due to the help of an audiobook on my ipod. A useful tactic for staving off boredom!!
To raise money for the John Muir Trust and WaterAid, my challenge was to traverse the UK BIG 3 mountain rounds in one BIG multi-day push - solo!! This included the Bob Graham Round (England), Paddy Buckley Round (Wales) and Ramsay Round (Scotland), and covers 187 miles, 113 mountain summits and 83,000ft of ascent (that's about 3 times Everest)! I tried to complete this challenge in ten days during May 2011. Read on to find out how it went....
