The meeting of the ways

I know we don't normally go to press on a rest day, but we think you've been short changed a bit this week, and as yesterday's post was mainly about their capers with the window, we thought we would give you a short update.

Yesterday, we completed the West Highland Way, by walking into Fort William, and what a splendid walk it has been - comes fully recommended by mum and me, although dad's not over keen. Anyway, definitely one off the tic list (and yes I have kicked off the kicking K deliberately [one for the pedants amongst you]). Dad had to 'operate' 12 times on me and one on himself. Mum got away with it although the midges adore the flavour of her.

Fran had dinner with us last night, and joined us for coffee this morning before heading back to Killin. It's been lovely to see her and so kind of her to make the journey.

Today we have been doing all our usual jobs and have been able to get everything we need for our next stage to Dingwall. Sadly, ma and pa have made a start on the arrangements for our return journey, part of which was the train tickets. But first of all, mum was a very brave girl and went to get her Senior Railcard. Having carried her driving licence all the way from Derbyshire, you can imagine she was more than  a little upset that they didn't ask for proof of age. Did they really think she looked 60+?! Dad said not - a very wise man my dad.

And guess who's lost his?!

Tomorrow we start our last 'way' on the Great Glen Way which heads from Fort William, up the Caledonian Canal to Inverness. After that we shall be flying Freestyle up to John O Groats and the end of our fabulous journey.

We suspect that communication may become more difficult now, but don't worry we will make posts as and where we can so be prepared for any time any where.

Keep spreading the word.
