Laig
Dad arrived in Laig this afternoon, after a tougher day than expected because of the hills...and a moment of horror when a sign showed 17 miles more than dad was expecting (but fortunately that was by the main roads, big relief!) The bike is still behaving, but needing lots of oil to stop the creaking, (I did ask if dad's joints were creaking too!). There's been some beautiful scenery along the way and he's looking forward to a gentler day tomorrow, he doesn't plan to leave until after 8am! Hopefully he'll have a chance to enjoy the scenery...
Apart from that we spoke of wine making, killing slugs, eating surplus marrows and the philosophy of happiness - so a well rounded conversation!

Dear Maggi
I have just found a picture of the signpost at John-o-Groats showing a piper playing his bagpipes. Now wouldn’t it be something to have a piper greet your dad on his arrival. How this be organised at such a late notice and at what cost I have no idea. But its a thought.
Also thanks to you for keeping us Becclesians and others up-to-date with Peter’s progress.
Regards Michael.
