Simply Paul's June 2013 '7th Most Remote Event'

[Simply Paul]

Inspired by the question "Where Next?" after holding a cache event on Scafell Pike in 2006, since '07 I've been hosting events at far-flung and off-the-tourist-trail locations at a variety of spots around the UK. So far I've visited St Kilda in 2007 (way out west), St Agnes IOS in 2008 (way down south, UK), Unst in the Shetlands in 2009 (way up north), a tidal island off the south coast of Jersey in 2010 (way down south, Britain), Eigg in the Small Isles for 2011 (way away from the madding crowds) and Bryher IOS in 2012 (way out west, England).

As Scotland traditionally features every other year, I wanted another striking, special, and above-all, remote (or extreme) location north of the border for 2013. After my usual map-searching and Internet poking, I've decided on: N57° 12.832 W006° 14.083.

An update on my June 2013 plans.

As well as trying to clear Skye of caches (island clearance is a hobby) and hosting my 7th Most Remote Event there (June 22nd at the In Pin, for those who didn't check the co-ords), I also plan to walk from Glenfinnan to Inverie, for a revisit to The Old Forge (mainland Britain's most remote pub. Where better for a cache event?). This will be a two day hike, hopefully staying at A'Chuil bothy (for a 'Now^here' event) - This link shows the suggested route - which will take me/us past a couple of caches I failed to reach on a long (but shorter) walk in 2011. Ride back to Mallaig by boat, ride back to Glenfinnan by train.

I also have some another ideas for the trip being developed, but news on them closer to the time

GC3RJPA is up for review. If it passes the 6-month listing test, you'll see Britain's Seventh Most Remote Event (In Pin, Skye) on GC.com shortly. The date for your extreme/remote event diary is Wednesday June 19th 2013. Hope you can join me somewhere inaccessible. Somehow..!

A fresh meet has been added to my 2013 tour of the Highlands and Islands, and it's another doozy at a location you may have long wanted to visit but never had a good enough reason to tackle it. Technically a drive-by spot, it's still a long way off the tourist trail:

Meet at the End (Mainland Britain's most Westerly) - A whale-spotting picnic meet with geotale and travel-item swapping on Thursday 13th June 2013, from 12-1pm. I suggest you bring your binoculars as it's an amazing spot for wildlife, to say nothing of views over to the Small Isles. A chance to pick up Mainland Britain's most Westerly Cache (which I'm visiting to refresh) and generally enjoy a relaxed moment between frantic caching

Other events are up for review at the moment, but I hope you can take a rare trip and join me here.
