My youngest is doing the 'West Highland Way' for charity, if you want to donate, see address at the bottom of the link. He is doing it over four days with full kit (running most of the way), that's some going btw. His last stretch tomorrow isfrom Glencoe to Fort Wiliam, It will be good to see him home safe and sound.

As an ex Paratrooper, I have the greatest of respect for all the young men and women who are in our forces and it must be a wonderful moment of pride for you and your family for your lad to be doing this for charity and for serving. I wish you all well and a safe return for your lad when he ventures overseas again. Larry.

It's The Gwendies who drink in Larry's Local.

Hello again Dex, What are Gwendies ? I have done a wee bit for charities, riding for disabled, Yorkhill kids, Rainbow and another military one. I think what Hollowhorn's lad is doing on his time away from his duties is astoundingly good, when you have been in the sort of situations that young man must have been in, when you get home on leave, normally the last thing you wish to think about is the military, so for him to do this which must keep it at the forefront of his mind, is a mark of integrity of the highest order. I wish him well and am looking forward to seeing the 'photos.
