So I did go to Scotland to hike through the whole magnificently beautiful country from the west coast all the way to the east coast. I just neglected to write about it. Since I'm about to embark on another try of the The Great Outdoors Challenge this year, I thought it would be about time to write something about the previous time (some people might argue it's about time to shut down the whole blog if your updates are this late but let's get on with it anyway).
It went like this:
I traveled to Scotland and started my walk in Inverie on Friday morning May 9th 2017. My rucksack was too heavy. During the upcoming two weeks I lost a chunk of my tooth, got heat exhaustion (in Scotland! Come on!) and two ticks and also suffered from a blister turned into an abscess. I met wonderful people, experienced great camaraderie, saw fantastic scenery and walked, walked, walked and walked, arriving in St. Cyrus (not the original plan) on Thursday afternoon, May 25th. And then I had to be taken to the emergency room because of a ghastly stomach bug, which also made me stay in Edinburgh two extra nights.
But yes, I did it and lived to tell about it. So I will. I'll post a couple of pictures with a few words from each day, with the original date stamps (so that somebody might even be fooled to think I wrote them as I went, ha ha!). Stay tuned.
