- The change of starting point is because I walked the extra 7 miles yesterday. What are plans for if not to change them. I can only get away with it this week though because of having the convenience of the cottage - Many thanks to Wendy (the owner) and especially to Tim & Jo for organising it.
- Started at 09:00 with a plan of 16.8 miles, finished at 28 miles due to a flight delay at Inverness. Ironic at an airport that only seems to have 4 flights per day!!!
- Had to say goodbye to Lucy who is flying home today - it was tough for us both and very emotional but I continued onward and upward ....then downward...then upward
- Berriford Bay was the highlight of a mile down where 2 rivers meet then another mile up to stunning picturesque views. After yesterday's vast open expanses of land some of today was through dense forest areas
- It was very hot and a lot less wind hence I drank 6 litres of water some of which I begged from houses and petrol stations
- Arrived at Dunbeath and got my first donation of £10 - a great lift and good to be able to tell the man all about CHSW
- Was due to met Tim, Jo and Daniel here as they are replacing Lucy in the cottage (though not in all senses!). As their flight was delayed I carried on walking and met them (or should I say they saw me) just before Helmsdale in a village called Sutherland
- Still only 1 small blister. Status - Ouch!
- First bacon roll £1.70 score 6/10

Good on ya Steve. Only really checking in to get the bacon butty report!! If you only have one blister you clearly aren't trying hard enough!! Keep your chin up, you're doing well. Don't worry but Lucy, T & I will look after her. Look forward to catching up with you further south and ambling a couple of miles! Looking forward to the next update. Ian & T
ReplyDelete£1.70! How cheap is that! Keep it going Steve. We're all with you in spirit if not in body. The hotel is a much quieter place in your absence. Quite nice really.
ReplyDeleteAnn, Rob and the gym girlies. xx
