West Highland Way I made an attempt to complete the Way in a short space of time which, too, was cut short! If you're interested, my account is at http://lsots.blogspot.com/2009/11/west-highland-way.html
Keep pressing on with the hiking; you'll build up the miles quickly and hopefully get a real taste for it! Good luck, and be sure to return to Scotland again!
Howmore crew One of our friends from Howmore days has set up a Howmore crew group on Facebook, which is where I found your article.Would you like to join our group and we can exchange images and stories from Howmore?
I recognise you wonderful description of the places, but they will be ruined if too many people visit as started to happen this year, now the ferry fares are subsidised!
Hey Hey!
I was alluded to in this blog, and that makes me feel special... My name may not have been mentioned, but that's ok with me....
Also, a glass of 12 year old scotch from ISLAY??? Waaaaaay too peaty for my tastes, but you Canadians and Scots must like the taste of straight charcoal in your throat.

way to go mate! ahhh Valerie, so glad to hear you've not changed from how I remember you, and that you still enjoy a good pint (or two or three, haha)! If nothing else, reading of your most recent adventures made me laugh out loud - well worth your trials and tribulations I'm sure. Carry on wayward son ......errrrr daughter.
Who am I I plan to follow your trip through your blogs. I know it will be very interesting. You seem to be a cool young lady.
Who am I....your father's cousin...My mom is Yvonne, a sister to your grandmother Anna. Tante Anna is also my godmother. So, Valerie ....we are family.
Enjoy your trip, take care and I will meet up with you at your next blog posting.
I'm a blogger from Canada. From May 1st to the end of August, 2009, I will be touring Scotland. Wandering up the west and northern coast until I reach the Shetland Islands. This blog is to document my travels, thoughts and experiences as I meander through the Highlands and Islands.... full info
