Hi folks
Well, we're nearly there! This will be the last blog until the man himself writes a final sign-off in ten days or so - the end approaches!
Roy has found the last few weeks hard - not physically so much as emotionally. He's up in the Scottish wilderness now - the part of the walk he most wanted to do - but he's overdosed on incredible views and ready to come home. Several times he's had to carry enough food for four days because there was no shop or habitation of any kind, which he would have relished if it didn't come at the end of several months "on the go".
Following the trend over the course of this walk, he has had more extremes of weather, with scorching hot days and muggy nights. The midges and ticks have been a real problem in spite of the Jungle Formula I've been sending him, and as you will see from the photos below, his silly hat has come into its own.
A friend of ours, Mick, has bravely volunteered to meet Roy at Kylesku (I hope you've all got a good map) on 7 August, walk the last four days with him and then drive him home on 12 or 13 August. So maybe Mick will put in a guest appearance on the final photos.
Here are the latest photos, but as usual I don't know where they are. Roy did mention a particularly dangerous ledge above a cliff, so maybe that's the one with a bit of boot on it. All for now, H
