Good Luck Dave

Post by sean_iow »

If the tweet I've seen is what and who I think it is then Mr Barter has a big ride coming up :grin:

I won't post the tracker link in case it's meant to be under the radar, but it is on twitter....

Good luck, don't forget to enjoy it :-bd

I seem to have a train ticket to Tyndrum for Monday and consequently the forecast has gone to sh*t.

I'm not religious... But God help you Mr B.

The weather has been very Scottish this week down in Argyle islands and the forecast for this coming week is so bad we are cutting our trip short by 2 days as we fed up of getting wet.
As I sit here having a brew, there is yet another wall of grey wet stuff about to envolop us.
We've had warmer and drier BB Winter Events....

I've mentally prepared myself for 2015 Highland Trail conditions so anything better than that is a bonus

Do not expect any heroics as I am taking my time. Also most likely to divert to Poolewe instead of the Postman's path.

See you on the other side ;-)
