As well as agreeing with Lindy and others re thanks to the organisers and all who helped in the event, I would like to thank the following people who went out of their way to help me. Firstly the owners of the Saddle Mountain Hostel in Invergarry who fed me tea,cakes and re hydration drinks on my arrival after a long, hot third day. Secondly Stevie Smith who stopped at Garva Bridge, dispensing tea and coffee from his camper van. When he heard of my plight having to re route after my stove broke he loaned me his. Your stove is in the post Steve,honest. Thirdly the guys and gal from Gossamer Gear who presented me with a rucksack on my arrival at Montrose. The down side of this is that I will now need to upgrade to the rest of my gear to match this level of sophistication. Thanks to all these people again and also those I may have inadvertently forgotten.[Due to diminishing brain cells]
