#TGO2025

Описание: Day 12: Kirriemuir to Ardovie Forest – 19.9 miles | 32.03 km
Woke up feeling strong and left Kirriemuir after a massive breakfast. Crushed the first 10 miles in 3 hours—but didn’t realize I was stepping into a 27-hour dry stretch that would carry well into the next day. No water sources, no mercy.

Got followed through a field by about 50 cows who were oddly attached by the time I hopped the next fence. Crossed the A90 highway—a little too close for comfort—but made it.

Spotted what looked like a Pictish hill fort before entering Montreathmont Forest, where I expected running burns for a refill. All four were dry.

Finally made it to camp at Ardovie Forest, set up, and reflected—tomorrow is the final day. That quiet moment didn’t last long… the ticks descended in full force. Dinner was eaten inside the tent. No regrets, just itchy ankles.
