The Extended Plan

Although some may think that 200 miles of canoeing combined with climbing the two highest mountains in Scotland already sounds like quite a fortnight's entertainment, we have thought of a way to further our acheivements in an attempt to encourage some more sponsorship from those still unimpressed by our expedition (see link on the right ---->).

If the weather is on our side, there are a further 7 (yes seven!) mountains which we hope to summit in the two mountain days. As there are 9 mountains in the UK over 4000ft, and as they all happen to fall withing walking distance of either Ben Macdui or Ben Nevis, it would seem a shame not to fit these in whilst we are in the area.

Although this potential extension to the trip converts two walking days of around 10 miles into two days of 17 miles and turns 'Bens by Boat' into the much less catchy 'Bens, Aonachs, Cairns, a Carn, a Sgor and Braeriach (by Boat)', we are sure we are up to the challenge and if we don't get lost in the cloud and the snow, we will hopefully return to find that we have raised lots of money for the RNLI.
