Just hillier than expected. I wouldn’t say that the bits I did were technical at all.
It was just a lucky spot. Although I had spent an hour beforehand getting frustrated because I couldn’t find anywhere to pitch.
To be honest, I probably was a bit over ambitious. I wanted to do the whole thing in 3 and a bit days, haha.
When are you planning it?

Tough, hilly or tough technical?
Just looking at the elevation numbers it looks much hillier than the An Turas Mor trail. 4000m in the first 200k instead of 1500m or something like that.
That camp spot looks lovely. Was it marked out or did you just pick it? I was thinking of breaking the Stage 1 200k into 4 x 50km sections and sticking with ~50k per day to make it easy and leave some time for maybe visiting a pub or cooking meals or whatever. So about half ATM daily distance (but there is about 4hrs less light)
