Itinerary description

This is a triathlon challenge. Swim across Loch Ness (the largest lake in the UK by volume), cycle to Ben Nevis (the highest mountain in the UK), Run up Ben Nevis. Oh and you have to take a shot of whiskey to mark the beginning and end of the journey. It’s called The Haggis (because it is also recommended that you have a haggis dinner to finish. Me and my brother did it some time back, but are going to do it again this year, so expect some more pics. Oh and we made a website for more info. https://www.theunofficialhaggis.com/
