Monday, 22nd June
Manny & I headed off out into the rain again, very poor visability to do Beinn Bhan & Sgurr a'Chaorachain. The 1st hill was nice and easy but it seemed a long way to Sgurr a'Chaorachain, it rained and rained and the map & compass came out a lot. 4½ hours later we were back at the van trying to dry out, food & drink and then Manny headed off for his 30 mile cycle to Lochan an Lasgair car park for Sgurr Dubh & Sgorr nan Lochan Uaine which is where he is at the moment, I am expecting him shortly. Surprise surprise it is still raining. I headed off into Kinlochewe to get gas and water. While I was there I met Charlie & his folks they are up to join as for a couple of days and David Riach turned up on his bike, he had cycled from Inverness. He was booked into the Kinlochewe Hotel for the night and is joining us for the next couple of days along with Scott Kennedy. Manny will do Beinn Dearg tomorrow to catch up on the hill he missed today, hopefully along with the other 4 scheduled. The weather is meant to be improving from Wednesday, so here’s hoping

Good luck with the Flowerdale 5 tomorrow. Five very fine hills with remote glens in between.
Stick at it Manny, I'm sure Charlie C and Dave the Snake will provide good company and support. Andy and I will see you next weekend after Arrochar finishes. Well done again to Brenda for keeping him going!
Nae luck with the weather Manny, it must be a real pain in the ass to be in such a spectacular hills with no views. Never mind, get on with the job and come back and do them again on a good day, the views will still be there.
Good to hear that Charlie C is on hand to give you a sympathetic kick up the backside.
I'll try to get out and join you later in the week as long as you promise to slow down a bit, (I still don't believe your as crocked as you make out)

Good luck Manny, it's such an inspiration to see how well you're doing.
