Well here I am just a few hours away from driving round to Loch Lomond, trying to squeeze in amongst the weekend campers, to get an early start up Ben Lomond tomorrow.
The sun is beating down outside and it looks as if the weather over the first couple of days might actually be quite nice - at least not gales and horizontal rain.
The van is packed with way too much stuff, and if it makes it over the speed bumps down Preston Road without one of the suspension struts collapsing, I'll take that as a good omen.
Over the last weeks and months, while talking the idea of this trip over with different people the over-riding reaction was one of support. You must be mad - but support nonetheless.
Many thanks for that support and for any donations made to Maggie's Care Centers;

I'll try and post progress reports up here as I stumble up and over the Highlands, as and when I can. The posts might be a bit sporadic depending on connectivity. Progress might also be a bit sporadic... but then I guess that's just part of the adventure!
