Highland Cross – It’s Now or Never (again)

Wed 18 May 22

I’ve always fancied doing ‘The Highland Cross’ which is a challenge marathon right across Scotland at its narrowest point in a day (around 50 miles).  It runs between Beauly on the east coast and Morvich in Kintail in the west.  This is usually done as a duathlon (running and cycling) but, as I don’t/can’t run, I decided to do it as a walk and cycle.  The reason I decided to do it this year is that I’m not getting any younger – I’m 65 this summer so I thought it had better be now or never.  May is generally a good month for Scotland as it avoids midges/clegs and other biting things!
