August 6

I went out to meet a couple of friends for a drink... and my sat-nav said: go here, go there, and then go across this ford....

Well.. I declined!! There was no way I was going to try to steer my normal car across this fast moving water - especially as I had no way of telling how deep it was going to be in the middle.

So I turned back and went a different way to the pub! But not till I very quickly took a picture... so it is not the best quality, but it was the best I could do at the time:

My dinner companions tonight! Had a nice evening at Angela's house: she fed me a BBQ dinner and we then had a game of Scrabble!

Andy's progress so far - to see the map properly, you really have to click on it to enlarge it.

The route goes as follows:

JOG - Keiss - Thrumster - Dunbeath - Helmsdale - Brora - Pitgrudy.




He has covered about 80 miles walking in 6 days. Pretty good going if you ask me!
Mixed weather: mostly dry with some heavy showers.
Oh and only 1 blister so far!

The lack of visibility is purely due to waterspray, not fog! It was atrocious weather to drive in!
