We for one will never get the route of the year award. We don't even aspire to it. We do our best to get ourselves an interesting route, we are conscientious in filling in our route form, but...only as far as Mar Lodge. We love the Trade Route that takes us via Loch Callater Lodge and St. Dostan's to the coast. The Challenge for us is a challenge as far as Braemar and after that is a highly sociable event. No way are we going to give up catching up with Bill and enjoying the atmosphere and singing in LCL or the banter in Tarfside. One can walk across Scotland any time, but meeting up and having a good time with friends made over the years is what makes the Challenge special for us. And could we have the lightweight brick now,please...
