DREICH ! ……
There’s never been a more appropriate description of today’s arrival at WHW ‘Basecamp’ - Milngavie (Pr “MillGuy” here)
There’s an unpredictable nature about re-introducing mini adventures that I recall as very achievable – but just exactly how have these pandemic years given me a wishful amnesia. ? …..
Soooo ….. WHW …. the West Highland Way – I Get to walk and I don’t cross any red/amber borders – The distance at 170 km is achievable – but I have no idea what the effect of the elevation will have .
Flatland I can do – but days like the 30Km day on day five after a couple of bumpy 23km’s give me pause for thought. 
I want to remind myself why I’m here . Here in my neck of the woods – it’s been ok or as my favourite TV lawyer says it’s “s’aul good man “ – my 4 babies and Ciara are daily rocks of inspiration & joy. Trying to think of an original analogy – for multiple things love & duty for extended family place in front of you – maybe “a storm inside a hurricane inside a cyclone “ – so this lil’ walk gets away from that 
It starts tomorrow- I’ve had a great night in a Glasgow bar with Lukey Boy , watched a fave movie
…. and scouted the start for tomorrow
Like I say ……. “DREICH ! “ 
Good to see you back on it especially with Luke as your wing man ….. ..good luck for Day one and may the weather be in your favour 🤞
Aah, a little bit of wet never hurt anybody 🤭. Hope all goes well today. Sending love. 😘xxx
Thanks DEB – it’s going to be an interesting first day – and great to have Luke along too.
Enjoy your ‘down’ time. You are a constant rock and inspiration to us all. Sending loads of love to my Big Bro’ from your SS!!
Good luck! This is on my bucket list🙈😍
You Can do it ! Miss Doubtfire😊
