Moss and I hike the Loch Ness 360. For a challenge I decided to hike it without eating. No food for the full 80+ mile trail!

For safety, while not eating for so many days and over so many miles, I test myself each night for ketone bodies in my urine and also check my blood glucose levels to make sure it did not drop to a too low level. I carried emergency food just in case it did. I am not advocating that anyone does anything similar during a hike and would actively discourage anyone thinking about it.

Please note that Moss didn't do it without eating anything as that would be cruel. Usual full hiking ration for her, treats and fresh meats etc whenever we came across a shop. In addition Moss' rucksack may look large but it is all her warm clothing etc made from down and such. It's bulky but doesn't weigh anything; I carried all her food and treats plus often her bag at the end of the day too.

We first set off down the Great Glen Way from Inverness to the bottom of Loch Ness and then return north back up the South Loch Ness trail, wild camping each night.

We set of on Hogmanay and have our first full day on the first day of the year; an epic way to start the year!

All the best,

Cheers!
