Update 16/06/09
I,m falling behind a bit with the progress report on Barry ,Eric and Shiva, so hope I get this right
Wilding at Kinloch Hourn..
Mam Underlain,Bealach..
Barry crosses bridge over river Carnach..
Camp outside Sourlies bothy, (bothy occupied by Monroe,ers)
17/06 Eric and Shiva set off at 8.00 am inthe rain heading for Kinlochleven, Barry decides to wait and see if the weather improves but by 12 noon the rain was still belting down and Barry decides to delay this stretch and catch up with Eric later, Just hope Eric and Shiva are ok.
Just as I write, I receive a text from Barry telling me All is ok, Eric and Shiva arrived at Kinlochleven safe and sound. Now he has to catch them up.

Tyndrum meet up
Lenny,
I take it from your last pics, that the lads have left Bridge of Orchy? I didn't get a reply from my last PM to you, so assume that they have called in at Tyndrum? it's only a couple of hours walk from the Bridge, I hope the lads got some refreshments.
Cheers, Bill.

Sounds about right, Full no doubt of wannabees all talking with that stupid upward inflection in their voices that the young seem to have adopted.
Arriving and leaving of course by car insured in Mummys name and financed by Daddy ( of course it is a right).
They think a blister is a plastic effort that contains more than one tablet
Ok maybe being a bit harsh on the young ( although I doubt it ).. But did not one of them consider alternative arrangements to accomodate their elders ?
it seems not one of them can work out the real gig in life very sad
