WEST HIGHLAND MOUNTAIN RUNNING | THE CHARLIE RAMSEY ROUND | SCOTLAND 2023

In this video myself and my friend Johnny ladfromtad.com head up to the West Highlands of Scotland to recce The Charlie Ramsey Round.
A long distance mountain running challenge, it takes in 24 West Highland summits, has over 8,700 meters of elevation and has to be done in under 24 hours. An epic challenge which requires preparation. Hence our recce.
Having checked MWIS and knowing the weather would change during the trip we planned accordingly. Unbeknownst to us was how much the change would be and the approching storm was named after we'd left.
Storm Babet started its arrival during our first night and intensified over the next few days. With recorded wind speeds in excess of 80mph and high levels of flooding nationwide Storm Babet caused major disruption...
My partner in crime for this trip was Johnny. A well travelled fell runner originating from the Lake District. He's undertaken a fair share of adventures over the years one of which was driving to Mongolia in a Nissan Micra, all documented in his blog. Check out his blog ladfromtad.com it's a great read.
Thanks for watching
John.
