Itinerary description
26-27/05/2023
Supporting leg 3 of a clockwise Ramsay Round (Julian Morcillo and Imanol Aleson).
My plan was to run anticlockwise until I met them somewhere in the Mamores. Started running solo from the Youth Hostel (6:17pm, Friday the 26th) and climbed Mullach nan Coirean, Stob Ban, Sgorr an Iubhair, Am Bodach and Stob Core a´ Chairn and finally met them (10:36pm) in the bealach between Stob Core a´ Chairn and An Gearanach.
Then I run with them (the two contenders plus myself) clockwise to An Gearanach, Stob Core a´ Chairn, Am Bodach, Sgorr an Iubhair, Sgurr a´Mhaim, Stob Ban, Mullach nan Coirean to the finish at the Youth Hostel (4:10am, Saturday the 27th).
Weather conditions were horrible during the whole night, with really poor visibility, rain and wind (particularly strong on Devil's Ridge). Rocks were slippery in many sections and route finding was very challenging. Despite all this, they showed real grit, determination and endurance and finished their Round.
