Day 13
Wednesday 26th May - Glen Esk to Northwater Bridge
This was probably our shortest day as the intention was to stop at North Water Bridge overnight so we only had some 6 miles to cover. The four mile straight did not seem too bad in the early morning and we arrived before 10 o'clock quite fresh. I decided that I should call Roger to let him know we were safe and well and the conversation went something like this:-
"Hallo, Roger, just to let you know we are safe and well and have pitched at Northwater Bridge for the night."
"What do you mean, Derek. You are at North Water Bridge and you will be in today?"
"No, Roger, we are safe for the night at North Water Bridge and we will be coming in tomorrow."
In the end Roger realised what it was all about which made him chuckle. We had a pretty restful day and Marian drove us to get the necessary liquid refreshments for the last evening party at North Water Bridge.
Arrangements were made with the campsite management for the recreation room to be left open late that evening so that those who wished could see Manchester United win the European Cup on the television.
