In spite of the incessant heavy rain of the first few days it's going well.

Braemar tonight,  Callater tomorrow - it doesn't get much better! 

Strathcarron from tonight's pitch

The buggers are out and biting

A wander down to Plockton this evening resulted in an unexpectedly early encounter with the evil wee midgies.

Challengers be warned!

Rehydration seemed to help.

Over the sea to Skye

and other places

En route to TGOC2014

The forecast today was for much rain and horribleness.

It ended up being cool but very pleasant with only a bit of mizzle this evening.
