Two years today, we got the news that Sally-Anne had passed away in the hospice. I'd seen her just the night before.

She went into hospital during our walk, and shortly after we got home, was moved to hospice care. When we planned the , I knew we'd be arriving home just as today rolled around, as well as walking on John's birthday.

I hope Sally-Anne knows we're thinking about her - not just today, but every day.

Finishing at Lews Castle was absolutely beautiful. It's the first time we've seen non-fir trees on the whole route, really, and it felt like a little bit of home. Always helps to finish at a café, too! 😂

Just needs to sink in now... We're done. complete!

The penultimate day on the was a rather soggy one!

Dave and Gordon joined us for 10 miles in the wind and rain, with very boggy conditions underfoot. Thank goodness for our boots - Nathan and I have seen lots of conditions like these during this walk and yet our feet and boots have remained dry!

There were lots of long strides needed today and I struggled a little with those (they were jumps for me)!! I have been called "hobbit legs", and Nathan also said my legs are "like real legs, but shorter". Seems I need to stand in a plant pot for a while when we get home 🙃😂 I'm hoping it was affectionate!

I've decided Dave is at least part-Weeble because no matter how muddy and holey, and how flar he slipped and slid, he flatly refused to fall down. Since I fell twice on day one, and have done multiple times since, and given both Nathan and Gordon have also ended up in the mud... I am wondering why I didn't get the Weeble gene. Rude, really.

Anyway... There weren't really any inspiring views today, but it's more miles done. One final short day left into Stornoway tomorrow, and we're finished! 🤩 Hoping to start early and have lunch at Lews Castle 👀 We'll see!

Please share and support our fundraising for Cancer Research UK 💜 We've just broken the £5,000 mark, which is incredible 🥹🥰

Day 11 on the for Cancer Research UK and we've passed from Harris onto Lewis, our final island. Just two days left!

Lovely little forested area earlier today with a beautiful waterfall. That was very different to anything we have seen so far on the route - almost Canadian-feeling. Then we got to walk on some very well maintained walkways!

We had some great views today, and although it was a somewhat boggy end to the day we had some company from some birds who followed us along the path.

Beautiful sunshine today, but we're likely to get wet tomorrow 🙃 wish us luck! 💜

Day 10/13 on the and we've now covered south, west, east, and north ! Gorgeous weather today and beautiful views. We fell a little bit in love with Tarbert and stopped in at the ,, the shop opposite, and The Deli for lunch. Yum!

Beautiful views over sea and lochs this morning, and then lots of elevation this afternoon. One more long day tomorrow, then two short ones... We cross onto our final island, , in the morning!

Day 9/13 on the . We didn't think anything could top yesterday's beach, but then... we walked past this beauty, and clean across the island to the opposite coast, which is wild, rugged, and rocky. is definitely our favourite island so far.

We walked on the Coffin Road for most of today (any Peter May - author fans out there? 👀). Its history is fascinating, but I'm glad we only had to carry rucksacks along it...

Lovely hostel night tonight and we somehow managed to eat 400g of macaroni between us 😳😬

Long day ahead tomorrow. Wish us luck!

Today is John's birthday.

John was full of energy, kind, creative, and passionate. He touched so many lives, and continues to do so, leaving a colourful legacy and many loving friends and family behind him.

The world lost him far too soon, only seven months after his diagnosis of metastatic bowel cancer. This project was created in his honour 💜

I have been thinking about him today as we walked, and all of his family who miss him dearly.

Started from Leverburgh today, near the port, and ended on the other coast. is beautiful, absolutely gorgeous. We walked in the rain and through boggy ground until lunchtime, so very slow, but the beach we were rewarded with was stunning!

Three tough days ahead now, but tonight is our last night in the tents which is nice. Day 8 done, 5 days left!
