Our Flat Coat Retriever Barney is walking the length of Great Britain with us starting 27th March 2015. The route is from Land's End to John O'Groats and is approx. 1400 miles / 2500km mostly off-road and will take about 4 months. We are doing it for fun but Barney has a mission - to collect money for Guide Dogs! Help him along the way - just click the donations tab to find out how...

Day 128 Kinbrace - Dail Righe
Wendy and here dog, Meg, came part way for this one and it immediately started hard! We have found that forestry and other changes in Scotland has meant the route details have been outdated in some instances - this was one of them. A struggle to get through what should have been an easy stretch made hard by a new forestry plantation. This was followed by a big climb and then miles of peat hags mixed with waterlogged ground. The trig point at the top is stood on a mound of peet which is slowly being eroded - eventually it will fall over! Then followed a long land rover track and finally we reached our camping spot for the night - quite a relief!
