63 miles, 22,000 feet
The immaculate beach at the Eastern end of Loch Laggan |
It was all Donnie Campbell’s fault. I’d been following his tracker on his clinical demolishing of the Munros inside 33 days, when I happened to spot a line on the map that I’d not observed before. One of Donnie’s unfeasibly long days was a traverse of the hills South of Loch Laggan from the Eastern Munros of the Ramsay Round to Ben Alder and Creag Pitridh. Donnie finished his day there before continuing over Creag Meagaidh and the Monaliath the next day, but I couldn’t help noticing the potential for an attractive circuit of the Loch, concluding with the Creag Meagaidh hills. The distance worked out at a pleasingly round 100km, cementing the thought.
