Backpacking Across Scotland Gear List – May 2024

I’ll be hiking coast-to-coast across Scotland in a few weeks for the third time in the annual TGO Challenge. This is a non-competitive event where backpackers, called Challengers, have 15 days to hike from the west coast to the east coast. To make things interesting, everyone defines the route they want to hike, with the goal of climbing as many mountains as they can or seeing as many sights as possible along the way. The goal is not to finish before you have to, but to pack in as many experiences as you can between the start and the end.

I’ll be starting in Oban on the west coast and will be hiking to Montrose on the east coast, following a more southerly route than on my previous crossings to experience some new areas of the country. I’ll stay in two inns along my route, two campgrounds, and spend eleven nights wild camping along the way.

Maelezo ya Vyombo vya Habari kutoka kwa Sehemu ya Hiker

Philip Werner ni mwandishi wa nje wa wakati wote na backpacker ambaye anaishi New England. Tovuti yake SectionHiker.com imeorodheshwa kama #1 Hiking na Backpacking Blog kwenye mtandao na AdventureJunkies.com katika 2018, 2019, 2020, na 2021.

Jina la tovuti hii, Sehemu ya Hiker, inahusu Njia ndefu ambayo nilipanda mnamo 2008 na Njia ya Applachian ambayo bado ninafanya kazi. Hadi sasa, nimekamilisha maili 1400 za AT na ninatumai kukamilisha sehemu zote kati ya Georgia na Maine siku moja. Pia nimepanda thru-hiked Changamoto ya TGO (Coast-to-Coast kote Scotland) mara mbili na kwa sasa nina sehemu ya kupanda njia ya Cape Wrath, pia huko Scotland.

Summer tick season used to be a problem only in the southern part of Ontario, but tick populations are moving north as the climate grows warmer.

Mosquitos are nasty creatures. They bite, they transmit terrible diseases to people and pets, and from what I read, they have absolutely no redeeming value in the ecosystem.
