\nI started at 08:30 on Thursday 14th and finished 14:30 on Friday 15th. Total time out was 29:59:34.<\/p>\n

The round was solo, unsupported and largely \u2018on-sight\u2019 as my recce efforts earlier in the winter were consistently thwarted by poor weather.<\/p>\n

The first 10 hours or so were a joy. I chatted with walkers on the summits, felt fresh and was comfortably keeping under my sub 24 hour schedule. Then my body died. I\u2019ve analysed my food wrappings last night and calculated I only ate circa 5,000 calories the entire time I was out! I was basically \u2018bonked\u2019 for the last 2\/3 of the round. I don\u2019t know why I stopped eating. It\u2019s something I need to think hard about. The last 1\/3 of the round was truly painful. I was seeing sleepmonsters (think mythological creatures!) and hearing music (despite being alone on the hills). In the final stages, cutting down through the forest near Achriabhach, I caught myself on some brambles and nearly burst into tears!<\/p>\n

As for winter conditions, I was hoping for the hills to be \u2018whiter\u2019 that they where. However, I am happy that the Round was sufficiently wintry.<\/p>\n

Cheers Shane<\/p>\n
