33 miles in a day?

[Ahrena]

Would this be attempting the impossible?

I'm riding my horse from John O'Groats to Lands End this summer in aid of the Brooke.

I'm finding it impossible to find a place in one of my planned stops to stay (Gairlochy), and the nearest next stop is Fort William (which is bigger so hoping would be easier to find somewhere to stay), but its another 10 miles away, giving us a 33 mile day.

So far our days range between 20-30 miles a day, but I had already thought 30 miles was pushing it so would 33 be just too much?

Obviously she'll be extremely fit and well fed for the challenge.

It's perfectly possible, tho if I were you I would try to give either a day off the next day or severely reduced distance to your next stop

Good luck by the way!!! I'm so jealous!!

Yup, no problems so long as the horse is fit

I breed Highland ponies down here in Devon but have a lot of contacts in the area - let me know (by pm if you would rather) what villages you are looking for in that area and I will see what I can do - did you want stable or is just a field turnout OK ?

Thanks guys,
I've found somewhere to stay about a mile north of fort william, so a 32 mile day, plus my route for the day doesn't have as much hillwork as previous days so not as tough going either.

First time I've struggled to find somewhere for us so just pleased to have sorted it now!

Ahrena you are so lucky to be going on all these long journies! Will you be taking Lacey?
