Day 47: The Final Leg Begins
Good evening, good people!
It was an early start today as I had to pack up to meet up with the Ullapool tractor boys for a 10am departure, filled with plenty of chatter before heading out. I also had the pleasure of meeting Tracy, a remarkable lady walking around the UK coastline—what an incredible feat! Wishing her all the very best!
After a smooth run to Braemore Junction, just east of Ullapool, the Ullapool tractor boys set off for home. The Classy Massey and I then ventured to Corrieshalloch Gorge and wow, what a stunning drop it is!
From there, we continued to Glascarnoch Dam for some exploration on both sides before pressing on east. We stopped at Inchbae Lodge for a hearty bowl of soup, which hit the spot!
Next, we headed to Park Farm in Strathpeffer, where I caught up with my old work colleague John over a cup of tea and a photo opportunity. After that, it was off to see Frank Nicol, my old boss from the ‘80s. It was great to see Sticky, another former coworker, he’s still the storeman there!
Frank mentioned he’s off on a road run tomorrow for the local round table. As for tonight, I’m all tucked up in my tent in Dingwall, gearing up for the final run home around the Black Isle tomorrow.
I can’t believe it’s all coming to an end, but I know that every ending leads to a new beginning… and the end for me is just the beginning of the journey for the thousands of pounds raised, as the money makes its way to make change across the whole country!
Look after yourselves and remember to .
Alright, it’s time for some zzzzzz. Cheers and goodbye for now! ✋
