9th May 2023: Callander to Kingshouse – 13.2 miles I was awake at 4am, 5am and 6.30. The ill fitting curtains in my room were letting in too much light

17th May 2022: Cragganmore to Grantown – 15 miles Day 4 on a long distance walk is when stuff begins to hurt. I’ve done plenty of two day walks this
16th May 2022: Dufftown to Cragganmore – 15 miles I imagine today’s walk report is going to be quite short. Despite the route only being a couple of miles short
