ReisenderThe first part is tricky with lots of crossing roots but beautiful all the same. We stayed at Ardlui so had to raise the flag to get across. Fred McAuley was doing it at the same time and appeared at the Drovers that night. Unknowingly it was being filmed by ITV and we appeared on the tele just before midnight on hogmanay with me being embarrassed about 50 shades of grey. Met Tam and Isa at the flag in pouring rain.

I'm in awe Mary, just keeping on going with the miles each day, is amazing, I'm a bit reassured that you've got sore bits and are not superhuman. Lots of self care & cake and fresh socks Linda x [LINDA Johnston]
