Any luck with contacting the press for Lands End? We are busy making our banners to wave them in!

[Finarda]

Lyndsey, do you know who the "Maureen and her children" are that they mention in their first blog? I'm intrigued if she's someone with HMS or HEDS since it's hereditary and Caithness is such a small place and I'm related to half of the people in the east side of Caithness.

I'll also let the "nice Canadian couple" who were temporarily running the hostel in Helmsdale know that they were so nicely described! They're visiting my dad next weekend. Told you it was a small place!

I know Maureen is one of the members-she lives a bus ride away froom the start point I believe -but I don't think she's a forum member

I know just how small it is, I'm not far away myself

Thank you Naama, I'll make sure Cathy knows that the "donation" is actually JOGLE sponsorship. Thank you very, very much
