It's great to see the even growing each year! I thoroughly enjoyed the event again this year, and prefered the reversed route, better suited to runners. Good to see the full results on the site, i'm a bit of a stato so always love comparing out other folks times!! There's a lot of time and effort spent hosting an event of this scale, all your efforts are much appreciated. You all deserve a rest before gearing up to next year's event! Thanks again.

we`re ready for this years skye race cant wait a week n a half(glencoe first 2!,cool!)gunna beat ten hours for sure this year?/??ha

i just wanted to say "thanks"now i`m hooked ,just entered the race 09!we had a great time last year and we were shocked how quick we did it!the scenery made the ten hours fly bye!also the event seemed very well organised and the team very approachable and friendly.thaks see you in a few months(midges not so great)

just checking to see if the date was fixed for next years event and excited to see it is! This year was brilliant not least because I completed it this time, but because once again it was so well organised . The set up at Glenelg was ace, and a special thanks to the kitchen team- best soup and bacon roll ever! Thanks to all the team along the way and to the organisers who did a magnificent job and I mustn't forget the jelly baby pit stop girls-what a great idea and soooo welcome. I've got a horrible feeling I,ve just talked myself into doing it again, what am I saying......!

Please pass on my thanks to everyone who helped to organise this year's trek. From the shuttle bus to the end of walk refreshments and everything in between, it was a fantastic achievement. (The minestrone soup at Glenelg Hall was the best soup I think I've ever tasted). Even the weather was ideal. The two girls handing out jelly babies, at Letterfearn I think, were a welcome sight and I'm sure that without those jelly babies I might not have had the energy to finish! My only complaint is that I don't have any blisters or aching body parts to remind me of my own personal achievement! However I do have the satisfaction of knowing that I'm fitter in my 50's than I have ever been in my entire life. Long may it continue! So thank you all for giving us the opportunity to challenge ourselves. I hope you can all take a well deserved break now.

What a day! Or What a wonderful day and a day that be remembered for a long long time and not only for the blisters and the now missing toe nail! An event through some breath taking scenery. Expertly organised with safety obviously paramount but in an altogether unobtrusive way. The drinks and energy bars along the way were a bonus, and the staff with their cheery manner handing them out. The section through the wood is obviously where the walk inherits its title but it was my favourite, the mood of our small party becoming mildly hysterical and began to question the ‘Jock sense of humour?’, well, I found it amusing! The mud and the clarts! A day to be repeated for sure and I proudly wear my t-shirt souvenir. One comment though, I’m sure that the distance from the last check point to the final is twice as long as we were told, it certainly felt like it!

What a great weekend and what a fantastic walk. To all of you, Thank you very much for a brilliant day out in the hills. The organisation, support, marshals, the route, views and beer, couldn't have been better, and gaining a prize in the raffle was the icing on the cake (although you can keep the midges). We all really did enjoy it and I am sure we will be back next year (maybe sooner if we buy that house in Glenelg!). Thanks again and we wish you all success in the future.

I wanted to provide a little feedback re last weekend’s walk. My three friends and I managed this, although pretty tired and a little footsore. A very unusual way to go about justifying a few beers of a Saturday night…. What I really want to say though is how inordinately helpful and cheerful everyone was. This was an extremely well organised event and clearly a lot of people put a lot into ensuring it all went to plan. I liked some of the little touches: the bread and jam at the end, the jelly baby pitstop, the clapping each finisher into the hall, the children’s pictures in the hall, to name a few. And all done so cheerfully and in such a friendly manner – the ladies in the hall at registration, the people at the checkpoints, first-aiders and minibus drivers. These are the bits and pieces you remember after the fatigue and aches and pains have long gone. (You let yourselves down badly though with the midges – they forgot the tradition of welcoming hospitality….) I will certainly think about doing this again next year.

Having done the job on 14 June, and beamed at the photographer lying in the road at several points on the walk, we were wondering what happened to the photos - was he official or just lying in the road for a bit of entertainment? Meanwhile, we would like to say that the event was brilliantly organized and the bacon butties etc. morning and night were excellent. And we have never been applauded for completing any event prior to this one - slightly disconcerting, but more welcome than any medal! Please extend our thanks to everyone who was involved in organizing and running the event. Three-quarters of the way round we hit the "I am never doing this again..." spot, but the chinks in that resolution are even now beginning to show... Many thanks for an excellent event in a lovely part of the world.
