Well, that was a very long first day for Jamie, 06:30 start, just finished at 22:22 - anyone else been doing any dot watching ?

Now parked up at the bottom of the Mamores, wonder what the plan is for tomorrow, "just" the Mamores plus cycle to Ballachullish, or up the Horseshoe as well ?

Yep, looks like she's heading for another 10:30pm finish, for 3rd day in a row. Wonder how long she can keep that up with so little sleep ???

Tomorrow looks like it might be a planned bivvy ? After Aonach Eagach first thing, then onto Creise then not another road until after Ben Cruachan ( Black Mount, Starav 5, Dalmally 4 ) - definitely not all doable in a day. Maybe a bivvy in Glen Kinglas before the Dalmally 4

From her schedule (https://jamiesmunrochallenge.run/track-jamie-live/) , it looks like she is attempting to do them all in a day?!

Bit of an easier day to follow though, just Beinn Bhuidhe and the Arrochar Alps.

Aah, thanks zp, I hadn't found that page, I'd only seen her overall track.

Blimey !!! It ended up being a 12:15am finish last night, shudder to think what time she'll finish tonight ( or more likely tomorrow morning )

Wow, just looked at the next few days, Satuday 3rd June makes me break into a sweat just reading it :

Vorlich, Stuc, Chonzie, kayak across Loch Tay, Tarmachan, Lawers 7, Glen Lyon 4, Schiehallion

at least the following day is just the Beinn a'Ghlo 3

I don't think that schedule was there last time I looked, but it's definitely nice to have alongside the tracker - some massive days in there for sure. Fine weather forecast which will surely help provided it doesn't get too hot.

Think you could be right with the bivvy in Glen Kinglass, Gus, going by current progress. Surely she'd be better getting some sleep and adding the Dalmally 4 onto tomorrow's list.

Yeah, given the speed she's been going the last couple of days I didn't think there was any way she could do them all by say midnight.

Suppose it depends what gear she's carrying - if stopping would need spare clothes, etc.

Wonder how much external support she has, you can get into Glen Kinglas from Taynuilt by bike, so potentially someone could come in with gear......but maybe they don't have that option
