We choose to go to on with this endeavour at this time and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard…

I'm sorely tempted Peter - if only I didn't live so far away!
Would I be right in thinking the main difference to last year is the 4th day from Inverness to Ballater?

There are a few changes..you are limited given the number of roads there..different hotels, hopefully some snow on the peaks still..less grockles, different camper vans..doesn’t stop me doing it once or twice a year..obviously a bit closer…
