Day 8
Friday 19th May - Blair Atholl to Falls of Tarf
In true challenge tradition we breakfasted on time, cycled to Kingussie and after returning the bikes we duly caught the train back to Blair Atholl to continue our crossing.
Re-supply and a sugar hit in a tiny shop and we were off up Glen Tilt.
A stunning glen, but today, oh so very long! We were feeling a little 'jaded'. Adding insult to injury, we were offered a lift by the estate stalker, Charlie Pirrie. In honest challenge tradition we declined politely, explained and continued, with packs. We did however, again as per challenge protocol accept coffee and cakes, as we wandered pitifully past his farm.
Spurred on by this we eventually made it to our overnight point. The open area beside the river at the junction with Glen Loch, about a km from Falls of Tarf.
I appear not to have written much or taken any pics, nor do I recall much more. Possibly the altitude!
We slept well.
