Day 64

I found out yesterday evening that Andrew had slipped and fallen while crossing the river I had mentioned in yesterday's blog - thereby vindicating my decision to cross the river via the railway bridge. (Please forgive my trespass, Network Rail but at least I stayed dry). Met Walter Baker again this morning. He has problems with his boots wearing out but is otherwise OK.
Today's walk fom Helmsdale to Dunbeath was all alongside the A9 - not very interesting - but we've now passed the 1000 mile mark.
The blister on my right little toe has had a day off ie. didn't reform today for the first time in 6 days. It's still tender, though.
Now Janet's here I've had to stop going to bed with Loreena McKennit but I still listen to her, and other music, on my MP3 player when I get bored with walking which, surprisingly, isn't that often,
