Wow, what a fantastic route. Been looking for one across the Campsies for ages. This is exactly what I was looking for. No way I'll beat the time but can't wait to try and run it. Nice one :)

I was curious, would an FKT attempt need to follow exactly same route or can it take variations, as long as it covers the same summits (and same order) listed in the description?
