When a shortcut isn't a shortcut

Day 2 has dawned bright and early AGAIN curtesy of mini munch AGAIN on theDDDaunder   Luckily the kilts did not make an appearance today but the blisters got bigger and we have lost another team member - thank you for your sterling efforts Mr R.

Things went wrong for the (now only) three musketeers on the Auchenblae to Tarfside leg - Mr Mac decided that he knew a short cut to save 1km and yes you've guessed it the short cut became a long cut and added 10 km to the route!

Whilst the scenery was fantastic and the grouse were abundant, I think it is safe to say that today's route almost broke our walkers (they did have a small moment of excitement on a rickety bridge and when The Dad fell down a hole).  Mr S even had to thumb a lift!  The blister bursting this evening was not pretty.

The support team learnt that French bread, instant custard and sultanas do make bread and butter pudding (of sorts).  The munches terrorised local shoppers in Tescos - monster had a melt down despite my attempts to bribe him with a Spider-Man costume.  We were even treated to a toe painting session from the monster with felt tip pens - he now looks like he has frostbite!

More cousins have arrived to join days 3 and 4.  The miles are racking up thick and fast, so are your donations, if you would like to donate you can on:
