Joan at Hayfield confirmed that the lads return to Hayfield Tue 21st July with a 70th party taking place there on the Wed 22nd.

I for one am going to find a way of being there for the party, least we can do.

Schedule or not, Should I find myself at Hayfield upon there return, and a booze fuelled session ensues. And bets are placed on climbing the nearest hill for a few quid...I give a tip ...dont on any account back me !!!

These two are as fit as butchers dog's ...and total respect to them

I reckon they are about 70 miles short of Cape Wrath which is where they complete the first half of ther trek before turning round and walking back:eek:

PS Anyone know of a better way of posting map locations??, any advice would be welcome:)

After a trip like this, dont be surprised if it fuels wanderlust.:D

They are true ambassadors of the human spirit. Happy to help others through their fundraising, and prepared to push their own limits.

It seems the hounds is enjoying tat tats too

Spoke to Barry tonight on their day off,(think they,d been on the wine gums):eek:, he managed to get online somehow and visited the site to view their progress and pics:), told me to convey their thanks for all the interest and kind comments;) with a special thanks to Rebbyvid (Rob) and Bill and Angie (pioneer) who ,he noticed had kindly sponsored them via Erics website.
Allthough Barry sounded a bit rough and chesty, I think they are all in good health and raring to press on:)

I assume contact will be broken for a few days as they move into the wilds of Northern Scotland.

Haway The Lads:cool:
 
Been on the wine gums Lenny ???

Call me suspicious but I bet these two rascals have looked at the distillery trail for convenient stop offs of course.

I am not being cynical just sharing what I would do :D

Considering I am a whippersnapper compared to these lads, I am bright enough to work out with age comes wisdom and the knowledge that these two will have a bit of guile and a few tricks up there sleeves;)

Glad to hear their spirits are chipper

:rolleyes:Well...... you do incur expenses... travelling the length and breadth of the Country collecting all those £10's...... then there's the floating duck pond..... the moat to be cleaned..... the dry rot...... the second house to do up..... the dog food and toblerones.... the nanny to pay for and the interest on the Mortgage(schhhhhhhh i paid that off years ago, but hay hum)...no the ordinary public just does not have a grip on reality:rolleyes::rolleyes::cool::(
