Scotland 'Bridge Of Orchy 7'
November 2023 Standard 7-day Munro's Adventure (click here for explanation)Started from Bridge Of Orchy station for 7 Munro's
Duration: 7 days, 6 nights
Region: Argyll
Kilometers: X
Rise: X
Like every (Scottish) adventure, this time we made a plan for a week in which each time it depends on the circumstances (the weather) how many miles will eventually be run
2 Munro’s during this adventure:
Stob a’ Choire Odhair -Stob Ghabhar
Flown to Inverness for the second time this adventure.
So the first 8 adventures this was Glasgow.
The “why” I explain on this page.
By now used to this option where the walk from hotel to station is even shorter than in Glasgow. Along the way, I come across enough stores to buy the last items (gas tanks that, of course, I can’t take on the plane) before starting my adventure.
There is also a large Tiso in Inverness but it is “off course” in an industrial area.
The Shops in the town itself are smaller but have everything I need at the last minute.
Most Beautiful Video
This time no video of my own but a taste of what soon my drone footage will look like!
Wonderful!
Details
1. 4 of the 5 Highest Mountains in the UK
Didn’t realize this until later but special to “do” so many high Munro’s in 1 adventure. The highest (Ben Nevis) I’ve done a few times in a previous life but since I’ve started counting again I’m going to do this one, therefore, also, again.
2. Incredibly bad weather for June!
The previous report indicated that it was extraordinary that so much snow had still fallen in April. This time even worse weather but that may also have been my own fault for packing shorts.
(Which was a good idea all week in May last year btw 😉)
3. Visited my first Scottish Love
In 1988! visited this beautiful country for the first time and now finally back to the location from where I first had the opportunity to hike through this beautiful area for a month back then.
