Sunday 21 May 2023 - Around Braemar


A stroll into Braemar found us with Graham Brookes at a bus stop for Ballater. This was a shock. Graham is a TGO Challenge machine, on his 31st crossing. He has a poorly knee and was limping badly. Time to go home! Also pictured above is Braemar resident Richard, an erstwhile Challenger who is not taking part this year.

Sue and I then walked for nearly 5km along the Linn of Dee road, before meeting Marian and Humphrey, stumbling along after Humphrey had inadvertently stolen Marian's walking poles at Mar Lodge.
 


On the way we had met Taylor Bearden and two mates, all from the USA, enjoying their second outing on this event.

Numerous others were seen as we walked into Braemar with Marian and enjoyed bowls of soup at The Bothy's cafe.

Meanwhile, over the horizon in Manchester, Jacob and Jessica were enjoying success in one of the city's regular running festivals.
