John Garrett accompanies me on a week at Plodda

I had a feeling this was going to be a good week when myself and Sasha met the group in the station.  I’d had a call from John at the changeover saying he was just passing Tebay – typically tardy, but hey, Frodsham to Cannich in one day is a bit of a mission.

John eventually turned up at gone 7, by which time the group had already made food and seemed to be getting on rather well.  The good food and good laughs continued all week, with games almost every night, lots of hard work, a freelance reporter (Eifion – apparently he’s sold a piece to the Ecologist and the Shooting Times so look out for them) and a swift drink in the Tomich Hotel on Friday.

And, on our day off (Wednesday) we all went on a walk together.  It started with a river crossing, shoes and socks off and rolled up trousers – we waded over in threes in an attempt not to lose anybody – and included great views of Glen Affric, dinner by Loch An Ang (I’ll have to check the spelling later), another river crossing, a walk through a field with grass as high as our heads and a look at the Guisachan ruin.

More pictures will follow when I have decent internet access…
