Going Home
Friday 22 May to Saturday 23 May 2009 - and so to home
Friday was weird. I had a train to catch on Saturday. So Friday was spent wandering around. I had booked a room in the Park for Friday night. So, I got there early. My room was available, so I put my stuff in there and wandered off to Tescos for breakfast. I bumped into a number of folk that day including the man himself: Alan Sloman. Alan is instantly recognisable and very well known, his blog is great and he was one of the many who I felt that I knew already.
That night I went back to the Bombay Dreams - by myself. The meal was good but the company was somewhat lacking. That night I opened the bottle of wine that I had carried from Edzell to St Cyrus to Montrose. And drank half it it - throwing away the rest. Thats the last time I carry wine from Edzell.
Saturday morning saw the gathering for the train brigade. Then, the off we go to all parts of the country and beyond. And thoughts of next year.
PS
I enjoyed this, my first Challenge. I met some great people and enjoyed their company. Many, who I met, and, talked to and remembered, I mentioned. Many, who I met and talked to and I didn't remember will have to forgive me. You all made this a great first crossing. There are many memories ..........and, ................. these are but a few.
Lastly, but not least:
Thanks to Roger and his crew at the centre of the Web that was Challenge Control and to the TGOC sponsors.
And, to my wife - who puts up with me going off on these crazy ventures.
