Daldownie Bridge, River GairnI arrived here early lunchtime and had a wash. That may not seem of interest to the great unwashed but to those who have been sweating their way to get here, well, it's of great import. I have had a wash, it was lovely. Okay?

There are now over a dozen here and we have spilled out from the restaurant. More later!

ReplyDeleteVery much enjoying your (and other) accounts of the Challenge. The typos in the last paragraph of this post suggests that you might have been slightly overdoing the liquid enjoyment?
ReplyDeleteso glad you had that wash... was beginning to smell you from here :-)
ReplyDeleteAh, the typos - yes. For later readers to the blog I shall explain: I have now tidied them up. I try to spell things correctly as my grammar is so bad!
ReplyDeleteIt was quite late when I wrote the post and I had been in the pub all afternoon with a local Fireman (Joey) his mate Mark, and Mark's Dad - all of us having a really good time watching Rangers play (or was it Celtic? - I always get those teams muddled up, a bit like my Scottish rivers...)
