I am afraid, apologies are due, as following yesterdays antics, I simply cannot walk very far today. I know I have successfully completed the Scottish Coast to Coast as planned, but I could not possibly climb Ben Nevis safetly as well, and don't want to get stranded up there. I now realise that the word "Challenge" in front of walk is there for a reason. Therefore to add challenge to challenge reads mission impossible.
My atonement to you all, dear supporters, is that I shall be completing the 3 peak challenge in July, climbing Ingleborough, Peny-Ghent and Whernside (8,000 feet in all) in a day. So please accept my apologies and I hope accept the challenge still warrants your support.
Instead, Karen was much happier, as we set of an a leisurely walk along the River Oich for a picnic, which to be honest, I felt I had earned.
Here are some of the views from our village where we stayed throughout the trek. It was rather lovely, and I would never have seen all this if I had done Ben Nevis today:
A view of Loch Ness
The series of Locks at Fort Augustus
The River Oich
Rufus in bloody water again!
I will sign off now until July when I start training in earnest again for the big one! Thanks for your support, it is really appreciated.
