EPIC FAM JOURNEY!!!

Steve Morley and co took up the EPIC challenge of flagging all 10 Munros in the Mamore ridge. He's written up a blog post about it, which you can read here, but here's an extract and the 10 photos.

So the weekend finally arrived. Fitness regimes complete. Accommodation booked. Plans made with the MacDonald Hotel for late food when we got back. We’d also signed up for the Duke of Edinburgh Awards Commonwealth Munro Flagging project. We also created a schedule of provisional timings for the 23 mile route with almost 11,000 feet of ascent…Naismith’s Rule says 12 hours 48 minutes…Craggy’s Rule suggested around 16 hours 15 minutes might be more realistic!
