On May 01st 2008, Skye (my German Shepherd dog) and myself, set off on a walk of amazing experience. A continuous walk with 2,134 miles/579,379ft of ascent unsupported over all the Scottish Munro mountains to raise funds for two charities - the Anthony Nolan Trust and Second Chances German Shepherd Rescue. This blog was started as a record of this walk.
The blog post below were made during the walk and also the later ones posted afterwards as an update. Have a look through and I hope they are of interest and also of use to anyone planning a few days away in the hills or a similar long extended backpacking trip...
