TGO Challenge 2025

Day 12, Glen Gairn to Ballater.

I woke early with sunshine on the tent and no wind so actually got away early for once.

I met a couple of Challengers camping at Corndavon Lodge and they told me there were six there last night so I was quite glad that I had camped where I did.

I caught up with two of the other Challengers after getting slightly lost near Tomnavey which I didn't understand having walked that way at least twice before but they had done the same thing so something must have changed!

Looking back to Corndavon Lodge 

It was a pleasant walk in company to Ballater then and we arrived at a café at lunch time, perfect.

On to the campsite then, after booking a table for dinner tonight.

I had planned to get the blog updated after the last number of signal less days but spent too much time chatting to Challengers so only just managed it.


14.5 miles walked, 400 meters ascent.
