Me too. It’s funny how you get more careful as the years go by. It should be the other way round.

It’s a great walk and If I ever repeat it ??? which is unlikely at the moment ??? then I will opt for the east-to-west route and hitch back to the start.
I knew Savile had a house up there but I wasn’t sure which one. Apparently, it’s been vandalised since all the furore broke. Unfortunately, after reading your comment, I’m now stuck with this mental image of him in a dressing gown and smoking a cigar while he’s taking his milk in.
Cheers, Alen

I walked it East-West though from Am Bodach. My mate who was to be my guide sent me a text two minutes before he was due to turn up – ‘Wah, my girlfriend has dumped me’. Sympathy was short, so I drove up to my start point and thought I’d wander up to have a look anyway.
I met up with three Glaswegians who told me ‘it’s a piece of pish big man’ – so I followed them across. Before they’d set off they’d given Jimmy Saville a load of abuse as he took his milk in off the doorstep – good for them says I.
Thanks for posting this one.

I’ve got a few from that era, too – they give the girls a laugh quite regularly! Just wondering how I can introduce my ‘look of the 80s’ into my blog!

You should post some old pictures. We’re having a clear-out today and I’ve just found some that date back to my short pants and knee-socks days. Always good for entertainment on a wet Saturday afternoon.

Not my type of music though, Chris. My mother-in-law, god rest her, was mad on Richard Clayderman. Do you play the piano?
