We're off on holiday again later this week. I'm quickly running out of annual leave but I'll worry about that when it happens! We're planning to walk (there may be some jogging) the Highland High Way. With the West Highland Way being our bad weather/blister plan B.
Whilst I happily come up with the big ideas for adventure, Jane is all about the detail. She's been planner extraordinaire behind this excursion and has been researching routes and kit lists for months. I'm eternally grateful for her patients and thoroughness. She's even got a spreadsheet detailing the calorie to weight ratio of our chosen food. So, Chris, you'd better watch out, I'll never lose at calorie top trumps again!!

Ooh, have fun doing that! I've walked the WHW and it was verging on a dull trudge in lots of walker traffic at times the High Way looks much more interesting (and tougher). Better to get up on some of the hills if you can rather than just look at them.
Will look forward to your posts.
There is only one glove in your kit pile, does some of the extreme calorific calculation involve chowing down on your own limbs? Sounds like it'll be a top adventure, I look forward to reading about it when you get back. Have fun!
I'm eternally scraping for more leave, too. Always working up to the last minute and going straight back to work on return etc to maximise the "adventure time". One can always recover in the office, right?
So have a great holiday and ... when I first opened your page I thought there were little cakes on your photograph ... go figure! LOL
Have a lovely time, will await news of your adventures. Have fun. RB

Great walk the WHW. I liked the last bit of Loch Lomand and the whole trail from there. Have a good one and take time to look at the views.
julbags-that's kinda what we thought. hope the weather lets us!
jumbly-always the eagle eye! the boring answer is the mits are waterproof so they're being used as mini drybags and have fleece gloves and buff inside ;)
groover-that reminds me, i haven't packed any cakes, eek!
rb-thanks. i'll try no to take too many photos ;)
trio-yes we're camping. sharing the weight of the tent between the tow of us. my bag only weighs 7.9k still less than you're bivvy bag and i'm carrying 3 days of food-work that out??!!
uc-only 16 days left until next april :( hope the midges won't be too bad yet!
