fantastic Lenny,

What a great ambassador you are for Barry and Eric on this site, If you (the reader of this post) want to guage the enormity of this expedition then just get out your map and trace a line from Edale in Derbyshire to Point of Wrath:eek::eek::eek:
It would be a daunting task in a vehicle......It would be a daunting task on a cycle staying in B&B's:rolleyes:
These guys are doing it on foot and sleeping (most of the time) under a flimsy piece of Nylon.... we bade them Bon Voyage back at the end of March and THE least .... the very least I can humble do is to applaud them back to Hayfield in July.

The Local and national press should be aware of this Trojan effort of 2 wonderfull men and one ( by then 2" shorter) german sheperd:eek:

Phew:rolleyes: Thats us all up to date:cool:
 
The lads should now be wilding on a patch by a river below the ruin of Am Fireach.
They split up for a few days cos I think Eric was suffering ankle problems and did,nt fancy the strenuous wild route so took a more direct route;).

They are back together now and alls OK, and by this time next week they should be nearing Fort William on there return trek:)

Barry back at schoolhouse bothy, Home Alone:rolleyes:

Thanks Graham, I realise there will be many more who can,t make it for the return meet because of work commitments etc. and this is understandable;).
It,s nice to know that lots of us are watching their progress and sending best wishes, I know the lads fully appreciate it.:)
 
all being well we will be there my daughter is coming but she will be in a tent
 
Joan (the hayfield site Manager) has asked me to post the following,

Can anyone who is coming to the party, which is on the TUESDAY night 21st of July, could you please let her know and anyone who is staying overnight to please book through the site 01663 745394.

Legs running on empty

DSC00165.jpg


This is now 66 days since they left Hayfields and they are still on schedule which just shows how meticulous they were in their planning and preparation, although they separated for 6 days ,they still managed to meet up again cos they both knew excactly where the other would be, remember, no mobile signal .

Barry tells me he walked for 5 days alone only meeting 1 fisherman on a Loch
during the whole journey:eek:, just imagine how strange that must be:confused:. Started talking to himself at one point:eek:, He tells me he experienced the Demons :eek: at this point (whatever that means:confused:).

Haway The Lads:cool:
