Day before the off

Hello good people,

I am at my halfway staging post. A rather grand description for Great Harwood in Lancashire. The weather is far too hot. I got up at 6.30 and went for a 4 mile stroll in the countryside immediately outside my mum's.

Rufus was salavitating at the prospect of lamb for breakfast, but I was a responsible citizen, keeping the mad beast on a tight leash! We came back up through Bowley scout camp, where the notice declared the camp fire would be lit at 8pm. Marsh mallows guitar and songs at 9pm! Ah I remember the days.

We set off for the Highlands in 30 minutes, where I am assured by the BBC we will have cooler climes and rain showers. Sounds like bliss to be frank, but this is the BBC, and I do tend to bring sub tropical temperatures with me wherever I go.

This time tomorrow, I will be setting off from Fort William. I will only update the blog twice whilst away as I have to go to a hotel internet cafe, and PAY!

To all those slaving a

way at Candi, keep your pecker up!

TTFN
