It's a shame the route is rolling up further than 20 days back  Like you Andy I was hoping to use it as an ongoing resource for ideas of routes.

Hadn't spotted that regards Opentracking _andy, that's a bit annoying, but you can always follow him on strava and see all his activities there

Finlay Wild has been back on the above mentioned(not to be mentioned) recently. Some mental running.

234/282 complete, the end is in sight !!
Be interesting to see what today's route is, and especially where he chooses to exit back to a road.
I assume after the Strathfarrer 4 he is currently on, then he'll go anti-clockwise around Loch Monar. Once round to Lurg Mhor, then a choice of a longer cycle out to Attadale or a shorter cycle out to Craig.
I'd be favouring the former option for 2 reasons :-
1. No big walking climbs involved, descend to the bothy at Bendronaig Lodge. Then cycle out ( assuming Rachael gets the bike in there ) - there are some undulations on the cycle path back out, but nothing to worry about. If he goes to Craig he has to re-ascend over "Cheesecake" and Beinn Tharsuinn before dropping down to the path from Bealach Bhearnais.
2. In the schedule, tomorrow's first munro is Maol Chean-dearg, if he was coming out at Craig you'd have thought it would be Morusig ?

The van is at Attadale Gus, looks like you called it right.

And tbh at this stage looking at the map it's the only realistic route. Why would you effectively throw in a couple of extra mountains?

That's a phenomenal three days that Donnie has just put in! I've reminisced and those 3days of hills took me 13 separate days, some of them huge when I was walking the Munros.
I'd also looked at the route over Beinn Tharsuinn and agreed with Gus (having been that way a couple of times myself). The track out to Attadale is a good one, and the gaps between the last two dots confirm that he's on a bike for the last bit of the day (will have to wait for the tracker data to upload).
The next two days look easy by contrast, although each one is usually four and three separate days. Worthy of a record that will take some beating.
