I'm not sure whether that was what I originally had in mind, and it gives rather a long day, but at least the scenery should distract us from the distance (and surely we should be reasonably fit by then!)!<BR/><BR/>As for start date, the date that we set was 14 April. With the turns that events have taken, family health issues may dictate that we move that date (and EEEK, it's getting awful close isn't it?).<BR/><BR/>The charity issue is a bit of a tricky one. This was a walk that we decided to do entirely for ourselves and not for any charitable purposes. However, so many people have offered us sponsorship, that we can't ignore the opportunity to raise a few pounds for a worthy cause. So, we will have a sponsorship page - but more as a side-product than as the focus of our walk. Our current vote is to raise for Macmillan Cancer Support.Gaylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08648378503343413924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4694505809435969577.post-28842032377177546742008-01-10T12:24:00.000+00:002008-01-10T12:24:00.000+00:00When are you planning to set off by the way?

(Be careful with that, as it can put a lot of constraints on your walk - I was lucky in that the guys I was walking for were briliant and helped out in the background for me)<BR/><BR/>Getting into the real meat of it now :)Alan Slomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17966543499033330765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4694505809435969577.post-47891176660336002042008-01-09T22:32:00.000+00:002008-01-09T22:32:00.000+00:00Congratulations by the way - That's a hell of a lo...Congratulations by the way - That's a hell of a lot of planning!

It can be quite straightforward: Try niping over the hill to Torgyle Bridge, then in poor weather by track over to Hilton Lodge, Cougie then Affric or in good just over the hill to Cougie.<BR/>Wonderful country!<BR/>I envy you massivelyAlan Slomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17966543499033330765noreply@blogger.com
