- ........ walking Glentruim to Balsporen Bed and Breakfast to prevent a 30 plus mile day tomorrow
- Expected this to be around 8 miles but due to some seriously erronious mapping it ended up being twelve, which has the advantage of shortening tomorrow.
- Today was mainly along the A9 but still remains very dramatic and predominantly downhill
- Al,who joins with a support car for 14 days, lets me know he is in the country from Malta and we plan to meet at the B&B. Full pack on back, it is definitely going to be reduced before Al leaves
- The B&B is very nice and is absolutely in the middle of nowhere.
- Al tells me of £750 sponsorship from himself and some of the people he works with, who I met when the family went to Malta. Within minutes Lucy phones to tell me that Domingo has donated £1000, a gesture that had her in tears and me close. Very many thanks to you all , it's incredibly generous
- Met up with Anne and Les (Al's sister and brother in law), very chilled late afternoon sat doing very little except chatting, will do dinner this evening then back to a very comfortable BED AND A GOOD NIGHT'S SLEEP
- Al has given up three weeks hols, he is my oldest and closest friend I am incredibly grateful for his support, he is one of my friends who knows me really well and that will help enormously over the coming fortnight
- Lucy, Becki, Brad and Mel miss you so much
