Barefoot, sack cloth and ashes?

Having been there before I know not to have any expectations of what it's like. However, it works out a bit easier to end there rather than at Cape Wrath.

Can be rather exciting if there's any bombing practice in progress!

I’m crossing Scotland by foot in a couple of weeks time. Just because I can.

I don't plan to retire. My work has been my hobby for 40+ years. Except when I was in managment.

I wish I could say the same. I don't find IT dev or financial systems particularly stimulating, but certainly more tolerable than many other jobs and very very good for paying the bills!

John O Groats is an absolute tulipe hole. Better start there and end somewhere else. It's a major disappointment when you arrive !

Starting at Shiel Bridge, ending at Stonehaven, via Corrieyairack and Glen Feshie.

Very nice. Enjoy your walk.

Some or those areas are truly stunning. If you don't already know, many of the bothies on your route will be good quality.

With you on this so hopefully can keep working, turning 60 very shortly. People ask why don't I retire suggesting I could be doing hobbies\what I want... well apart from not being in a position to retire my hobby is dicking about with computers, so might as well get paid for doing that

Nice. From where to where? I have vague plans to walk as much of the top of Scotland as is possible starting at Cape Wrath and ending at John O'Groats with detours along the way to visit old Clan Albert haunts.

Wow, that is an epic walk !! I've done several sections of that (in bits) over the years.

Have a great time with that and get some photos blogged !!
