I had been using my GPS as an altimeter, taking regular readings in order to get the elevation figure and track my progress in ascent. But now, as I took a further reading, I got a low battery warning. I had no idea how many more readings I could take before the batteries failed, but I concluded I had best reserve it for emergency use only now, until such time as I could acquire some fresh batteries for it. And so I headed on up into the clouds.
A gentle stroll through the Highlands of Scotland with the occasional photograph of wonderful sights seen along the way. This blog charts my experiences on the TGO Challenge - the world's premier backpacking event. The Challenge is to plan and execute your own unsupported foot crossing of Scotland, from the West coast to the East coast, and takes place during 15 days each May. Sounds easy? Think again!

About Me
- JB
- Just an ordinary bloke who happens to walk across Scotland from time to time. That's what this blog's all about. And when I'm not walking across Scotland, I dream of walking across Scotland. Or sit poring over maps of Scotland, looking for ways across. Or think about ways I can reduce my pack weight the next time I walk across Scotland. Obsessive? Me? NEVER!
