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.

O nome deste site, Section Hiker, refere-se ao Long Trail que percorri em 2008 e ao Applachian Trail que ainda estou a percorrer. Até à data, completei 1400 milhas do AT e espero um dia completar todas as secções entre a Geórgia e o Maine. Também fiz duas vezes o TGO Challenge (Coast-to-Coast across Scotland) e estou atualmente a percorrer o Cape Wrath Trail, também na Escócia.
