Height Gained Challenge
I’ve mentioned this to a few of you already, so here it is properly.
This one’s about vertical gain.
Not pace. Not distance. Just how much height you can rack up in a single walk.
The idea comes from a few walks I’ve done on the Corrour Estate in the Scottish Highlands. Simple on paper. Less so on the legs.
How it works
• Choose one of the levels below
• You must hit the full elevation in one continuous walk
• Where you go and how far you walk is up to you
• Hills, loops, repeats all allowed
• Log the walk as normal
The levels
Level 1. Creagan An Amair
178 metres of elevation
Very achievable. Solid entry point.
Level 2. Carn Dearg
547 metres of elevation
Needs intent. Route choice matters.
Level 3. The Sgors
717 metres of elevation
No messing about. This is for the serious ones only.
Social bit
If you do this, tag @spence_ntcz on Instagram.
Photo, screenshot, muddy trainers, red face, whatever.
I’ll reshare as many as I can.
Pick your level. Plan your route. Get it done. Deadline is 31st January 2026
