Alan, my dear fellow,

What a terrific reply and good luck in staying within your set boundaries. Not just in staying within parameters, but avoiding pubs as well, now that is a gallant thing to do.

But to answer your reply about walking, it's a bit like watching football. Now my team - Southend United - have been relegated or promoted 17 times in the last 30 years. But do you know something? I wouldn't swap the relegation's for anything. The silence in the coach on the way back after another 4-0 away defeat, the fear of relegation, the impending doom and gloom. But, the funny thing is, they make the good bits even better and I wouldn't have missed them for the World.

Whilst on the Cape Wrath Trail this year I was crossing an area of bog. I was tired, hungry, cold and it was raining and I was almost in tears. But that made my arrival at Glencoul bothy all the better.

To hell with it, I'll walk east and see what happens!

Paul, that bit of bog is in my backyard. I sometimes spend a couple of days out there in early April, just to remind myself of the realities before the Challenge. I totally agree about Glencoul!

Bump.

What do you mean there is a sodding great bog after the C&W.
You never mentioned that, and I trusted you, so implicitly that I never checked.
Oh hang on, I just looked. We're going over the lumpy bits East up the track. :grinning:



While I'm here, how come the developers of this site can't add a feature for editing and adding formatting and photos that doesn't involve flippin' code, like the rest of the message boards throughout the universe ? :thinking_face:

Totally agree Andy,like a dinosaur transplanted in our epoch.

Thank you for your kind invitation! Alas, I won't be anywhere near that location, if all goes according to plan. I hope to see you on the east coast!

*BUMP*

Just a reminder!

And for those who have enquired about the origins of the Cheese & Wine, here's a video of the very first - don't we all look young!

See you there. Just need to work out the logistics of getting my cheese and wine there :)
