Day 7 & 8 - 31st July/1st August

At the end of Day 7 - 31st July David and Ryan were picked up at Alness at about 7.20pm by Eileen and Graham who live near the Muir of Ord. Eileen got in contact with David after reading about the walk in the Manorlands newsletter . (They lived in Keighley about 20yrs ago)
Eileen and Graham gave the lads a bed not only on Thursday night but Friday also which allowed David and Ryan the chance to have a well deserved day off from walking (end of day 7 and about 101 miles so far). They were throughly looked after, had cloths washed, were well fed, not just by Eileen but also by friends that they were taken to visit, they were taken on the Friday to Rosemarkie (across the bay from Fort George and north of Inverness) where they watched and filmed dolphins. On Saturday morning...not to early Eileen took the 2 back to where she picked them up on Thursday night (minus the rucksacks which she took onto the campsite at Dingwall) ready to start walking again.
