Nice to see you made it up Tinto - I remember suggesting it a while back and you being horrified , you must be getting fitter!

elantan

Fitter might be pushing it a bit lol .... Skinty it was hard going just shy if two hours to summit it

skint_spice

as far as I can remember it was hard going when I did it cos of all the scree - only seemed to affect the adults right enough!

elantan

Yeah the scree was hard going on the legs and feet ... We kept trying to walk off the path as much as we could but it was busier than sauchiehall street .... When I saw people running up it I was like !!!!!! ... Lol were gonna do Lanark falls of Clyde next the the hill that's next to tinto ... When I come back from my hols that is


Can u recommend any others ?

skint_spice

Not really done many up that way but Galloway hills are lovely - The Merrick? There are lots of campsites about if it's a bit far...

elantan

Thanks will have a look and add them to my list

elantan

anyone still interested either p.m me or let me know on the thread ...

I have still not done any exercise but the weight is coming off so I would be interested as long as it doesn't clash with my Uganda trip and as long as I get a bath each night!!

Hi El - I'm worried about the whole arthritis thing, tbh - I think I'm ducking out I know walking is low impact, compared to running, but some joints in my feet are in pain all the time even now - I do want to get fit, but I think it has to be *extremely* low impact, like swimming sorry El.

elantan

hi all ... i had written a big wordy thing for here but it got lost in cyber space ...


kc no worries about it chica you have to put your health first


ok here is the script so far
the walk has been divided into 6 days walking and as many nights as each person wants at fort william .... the reasons for this are namely money ,,, we looked at bunkhouses and youth hostels which worked out much cheaper than b&b (which was extortionate) the cost for the rooms comes to £101 with the bag carrying facility at £40 ( you can ofcourse carry your own bag) one breakfast is included in the price but no other meals so that has to be factored in as well

the date is officially may 29th 2011 at milngavie i will be booking things within the next two weeks so if you are going get in touch with me and we can arrange for things to move forward ...

run down of walk is this

day one milngavie to balmaha 20 miles
day two balmaha to rowardennan 7 miles
day three rowardennan to crainlarich 18 miles
day four crainlarich to bridge of orchy 13 miles
day five bridge of orchy to kinlochleven 21 miles (the longest walk)
day six kinlochleven to fortwilliam 14 miles


so thats it all official like ,,, let me know
