I've just watched Julia Bradbery doing one of her railway walks from Calander to Kilin on Loch Tay (twenty odd miles) and it looked brilliant. I can't do mountains any more (arthritic knees) and the relatively flat disused railway routes seem more doable for me these days.
I was thinking of doing it over a couple of days with an overnight camp along the way, and in some sort of period kit, using only period equipment and eating period food.
I was thinking it might be a good shake down experience to see if it works, then tackling one of the drover roads at a later date.
Cameron (my grandson) and I will be doing it early next year. Anybody care to join us? We could arrange it so we end up at the Crannog. I was thinking 17th/18th century trad Scottish kit but it's fluid and just at the ideas stage. Input and suggestions welcome.
