I agree with you Ali. I love watching those little SPOT-dots moving across the Highlands but many times every day I'm contemplating : "Where would I be now if I was walking there myself ?"

Lying in bed listening to the wind grab the trees and my new polytunnel I spare a thought for all those in the wee nylon hoosies in the glens.
Just woken by the rain drumming on the Velux, the cat wants fed, I'll need to do a Tescos for the week ahead, my feet are dry and if it gets a bit cooler like the forecast says the lecky blanket will be on at night. I'm afraid I find that much more attractive than a TGOC given the conditions.

I really really hope it perks up this week for all those on their routes and they are safe and sound (if a tad damp).

Never mind the winds were only 80mph, last year they were 100mph during the storm! Things can only get better and I hope they do.

What a day for a virgin Tgo. A proper baptism! Spending day in hostel in glen coe drying everything in their fabulous drying room. sun is out intermittently.tomorrow if the knees will allow,setting off from kings house across toward rannoch station. good weather & best wishes to everyone.
