Was that one of those feats of "Get as much value out of the old joint as possible"?

Hope he doesn't get lost on the Forth road bridge!

I remember the first (?) walker to do this, Barbara Moore, in 1960. My Highland primary school was on the A9 and we were all allowed out into the playground to watch her as she passed by. I expected someone heroic and was most disappointed to see just a non-descript wee woman ambling by.
"She was a vegetarian and a breatharian, believing it is possible for people to survive without food. She walked with only nuts, honey, raw fruit and vegetable juice for nourishment."

And a terrible addiction to compeed.
Just remember, when you’re over the hill, you begin to pick up speed.

Aye that was the plan. The hip was the last of my problems though...feet gave me no end of grief!
Re: JOGLE - by foot!
I don't envy anyone trying to walk on roads in the north of Scotland this year. If lockdown is lifted and there is still no foreign travel, every man and his dog will be hiring camper vans to do the North Coast 500. This will be on top of the normal heavy traffic. The roads are not particularly walking friendly and regular road users don't expect to meet people walking on them.
Also be aware, Scotland has its own timetable for the lifting of restrictions and it is moving back to a tier system as lockdown lifts. There may be areas that will stay under restrictions for longer if covid numbers don't settle down.

Hello and good luck with the walk
There is a short article in this months Country Walking magazine by the editor who completed it a few years ago
I highly recommend Steve Awes book The Long Walk although he did LEJOG
