My Southern Upland Way Experience
Back in the dark ages, in May 1991 to be precise, I decided to walk the Southern Upland Way. My previous experience at this point, was having walked The Pennine Way and the West Highland Way in the previous year, which I suppose was good experience. However, for both these walks, I’d been given an old rucksack by my friend’s older brother, and wow, did it give me pain. It was made in the 1970s I think, with an external frame and I couldn’t even fit the sleeping bag inside, so had it strapped to the outside in a bin bag. Anyway, I’d splashed out on a new rucksack for the Southern Upland Way and thought it would be a breeze. However, the journey didn’t go to plan, as this time I had major boot problems... Check back soon for the full story.
