15 Gruelling hours await.... 10 Munros (mountains over 3,000 feet), 21 miles of walking, 11,150 feet of ascent. This is the punishment we must endure to encourage our friends, family and colleagues to part with their hard-earned cash in the aid of Pisco Sin Fronteras. The car is packed (Jaffa cakes and all) training is complete (11 miles of walking each day to and from work) and the new hiking boots broken-in. The Mamores mountain range (see link below) is among the most spectacular in Scotland, located to the South West of Fort William and in the shadow of Ben Nevis, the UK's highest peak. We will drive up to our campsite in Glen Nevis tonight and then start our hike at 5am tomorrow morning. I fear the early start, tiredness and inevitable pains that will greet us with unsympathetic regularity on this challenge. However, I believe our determination and good spirits will drive us on to the finish line no matter the obstacles we face.
Thank you to all those who have generously donated to this great cause.
