Just back from Glen Nevis after several pints of coke and some REAL food. Myself and Neil Speight, supported solely by Dave Raffe from the hostel to Sgurr Choinnich Beag, got round in 23:15. Exploding knees over the last 5 Munros lost us a heap of time, but after all that pain and effort there was no way I was going to miss the 24 hours.
The weather was mostly cloudy and although the food drops went well it would have been nice to have had some more tea at the breaks.
Highlights include running at dusk through swathes of cotton grass and the scree run off Chno Dearg. Also, exchanging abuse with a '3 Peaks Challenger' on the Ben.
Low lights include projectile vomiting on Sgurr Eilde Mor, extremely sore plus swollen knees on the Mamores and the descent off Mullach nan Coirean.
I will probably do a longer write up later after another nap.
Would I do it again? An emphatic NO! I will help pace though ; )
