24 hour fisherfield round

[Full Moon Addict]

Last week I completed a shorter version of my Fisherfield round, this time within 24 hours. I amended the route to make it more logical (and easier) with reduced mileage of just under 60 miles and 25500 feet of ascent. After a testing night and feeling pretty weary in the first half I improved and completed the round in decent shape in the end. This time Ian and Pauline Charters :thumbup: gave very welcome road and bothy support which saved me carrying my food and spare clothing round. An amazing end over An Teallach pinnacles in a gale. I've written it up on my blog - http://longdistancechallenges.blogspot.co.uk/

Well done. Sounds like a cracking challenge and maybe one of the classic 24 hour rounds of the future. The 850 m ascent of Sail Mor sounds like a fun way to spend an hour and a bit.

I agree. Truly inspirational stuff. Fisherfield is my favourite area in Britain and so I now need to assemble this route onto a map.

Thanks for inspiration John !

Great blog FMA, and congrats to son Ben climbing all the munros at 10 years old, you must be really proud of the chip off the old block:thumbup:

FWIW : I've plotted John's route onto a 1:250,000 map and dropped it into my blog.
I find it easier to comprehend how hard it actually is when I see it on a map.
I ran all of Fisherfield years ago, but this throws in Beinn Dearg, the Fannichs and An Teallach for good measure !
Awesome stuff

Another great Round from the FMA stable - superb, John! Did you ever look at Torridon?

Thanks for the map, Alan - really helpful.

Another great Round from the FMA stable - superb, John! Did you ever look at Torridon? Not really - there's some very rough ground on your outlined route. I like just turning up and trying the route which would be challenging with this route. I'd like to try something here one day.

Thanks for the map, Alan - really helpful.

yes thanks for the map alan.
