You guessed right - hopefully! Goes down in 2 weeks time and once fitting and mapping is done, that's what I'm hoping for!

We were supposed to be out today, but gave Sue's car it's winter prep - 7 times over that car by the time it was cleaned, detarred, polished, polished again and sealed! Heading to Ardgour early next week to repeat some of the Corbetts we enjoyed out there.

Compleation? It'll take me that long to log all my hills on the site - one by one for goodness sake! But I'll let you know - you like Skye!

If you're out on any other midweek walks and need someone to show you how to read a compass or ride a bike (ha ha!), give us a shout! Weekends are out for me as you know. BTW - I think I'm on Landward tomorrow night......

Sue and Frank say hi!

I should have asked for your autograph!
Detailing and proper polishing is no fun, I remember that from the lotus days!
I'm aiming for Wed and/or Fri next week if any of that works for you guys?

There's a fee for autographs........ Next week we're on Iona and Mull - the week after I'll be prepping fish for the Good Food Show (Glasgow!). From 22nd on I'm pretty clear.
