NO long lie today – Freya’s here and jumps on me just after 7am. No bad thing, really as Fiona’s coming to pick me up at 10am to go up to Loch Drunkie

We pick up David B on the way and have a good paddle…and another five miles each towards our targets.

I’m pretty broken afterwards and fall asleep in the car until we stop to drop David B off.

Back home I jump in the shower, get the charcoal in the smoker lit for a batch of chicken thighs then crack on with making some fridge magnets for the village shop. There’s also an enquiry in for a personalised West Highland Way trekking flak so I call the guy back and get it sorted out.

In the house I peel some tattoos and cut them into chips for the air fryer later and make up some Alabama White BBQ sauce to go with our smoked chicken.

After dinner I portion up the remaining chicken and freeze it for jambalaya…
