Friday - Took a run up to Fort William to see Alisuzuki finish walking the West Highland Way (well done!) and to see the last bit of the Scottish Six day Trials. Rain, rain and more rain!! Poor wee bike is manky!
Saturday - Out drinking the previous night with Ali and Meerkat! 'Nuff said! Walked to the town from the Glen Nevis camp-site. Rain had been horrendous during the night. Fresh snow on top of the mountains. Some SSDT sections near the camp-site. Dougie Lampkin won and saw him being interviewed. Best bit though, was no. 57 (a female trials rider) clearing the Town Hill Brae, after a bunch of lads had he-hawed with laughter at the thought of a mere woman doing the section. The look on their faces was priceless when she cleared it.
Sunday - packed away the tent in the first real dry spell of the week-end. Took a run out the Nevis road, until the road stops and then continued on foot to the the High falls. Sun was now scorching and the scenary was stunning. Felt rewarded for having to put up with the really carp weather before-hand! Unfortunately, then I had to go home!
