widthHe walks straight in developed countries, even in remote areas, and soon he will encounter paved paths or roads. In the Scottish Highlands, there is still a 78.55-kilometer straight route through the unspoiled natural environment-this route has now been mastered by two hikers for the first time.
In 4 days, 32-year-old Calum Maclean and 41-year-old Jenny Graham climbed over the mountains, traversing ravines and wilderness, traversing tall heathers, and over fallen trees. They filled two 16 kg backpacks with food and tents, and arrived at their destination in less than 84 hours. McLean said at the end of the ordeal: “I’m glad I did it, but I won’t do it again.”
The two Scots go directly to Corgarff from the Drumocher Pass, and they were the first hikers to hike through Cairngorm National Park.As British Broadcasting Corporation According to reports, there have been several unsuccessful attempts after the Ordnance Survey determined this route a few years ago. Jenny Graham also holds the record of traveling around the world. She told the BBC: “I have hiked all over Scotland and the Alps, but this time is the best.”
They had climbed some peaks in Cairngorms before and knew the area very well, but this route led to a whole new place. You should feel “like an explorer”, Graham is ebullient. “Maybe no one has ever set foot here. This is a very cool moment.” Graham said, she also learned that the simplest idea-just walking in a straight line-is not always the easiest to do.
