My biggest adventure to date! The Ultra X Loch Ness Ultra Marathon (Part 1)! - Al Pepper Runs

This is the big one! I've been building up to this for a little while now and I'm pleased to present Part 1 of my coverage of the Ultra X Loch Ness 110KM Ultra Marathon!
This is my biggest adventure to date, a two-day epic taking in the entirety of the mystical and magical Loch Ness. Starting in Inverness and finishing in Fort Augustus, day 1 saw us navigating heathland bogs, huge peaks and everything in between! It was tough going, particularly with the thought of doing it all again the day after but my goodness was it spectacular!
Enjoy! Part 2 will follow shortly!
Oh yeah... and it was absolutely brilliant sharing a few miles with the excellent (and far too fast) guys from ‪@Run4Adventure‬! I can't wait for their coverage of the event!

    Absolutely love that you met Loyd and Liga, we love their channel too and was nice that you had a chat and bit of banter with him :) That heather carpet tho, jesus!!! 😧 Brutal.

    They were great! The heather… not so great! It slows you down so much! As well as soaking your feet that is.
