Hi, so the challenge has actually been completed and I did achieve my goal in 4 days. Since finishing so many people have said that I should have done this for charity as the schedule was so difficult plus the fact that I was doing it solo. People usually take 8 -10 days for this challenge and a high percentage fail so I am very proud that I finished albeit with injuries.
SARDA is a charity for mountain rescue dogs and these are such an important part of survival in the harsh Scottish mountains. These dogs train so hard and love their jobs. My wife, sister in law and I all walk regularly and feel more comfortably doing so with the knowledge that these dedicated dogs are there to help in times of need.
4 days done. Day 1, Inverness-Torridon 105 miles (rain), Day 2, Torridon-Lochinver 139 miles, Day 3, Lochinver-John'o Groats 150 miles and finally John'o Groats-Inverness 136.
Tough stuff really mentally and physically.
If any of this makes you think either these dogs are amazing, I want to make sure people can be rescued or that cycle was insane and he earned sponsors then please do.
Thanks to everyone who has donated.
