David Howie Scott finishes the 100km 100 fish 100 loch challenge and what a wonderful sunset to see them off. Tonight they are camping by this loch and this is the sight that they will see as they doze off.
And as you can imagine there is no Netflix in the depth of Highlands so they return to their roots and find a caber!
Caber tossing - a traditional Scottish game. What a brilliant end to an extraordinary adventure.

Thanks for everyone donating to 100km, 100 lochs, 100 fish in 5 days for David Howie Scotts wild Highland adventure to raise money for LAM through Just Giving.

Of course the weather couldnt have been worse but the amazing scenery in Wester Ross has helped as the 5 men drenched shuffled through some extraordinary places...they are still at it. Eating wild brown trout, releasing the rest, the rucksacks 4kg heavier as sodden with water. As you can see but the photos as they try ling down and just sleeping on the stop...they are keeping a sense of humour..much needed! And the hides weather means no midges! Yeh!! Every cloud.
Seriously it is a real trial but all for a very good cause indeed. you can read all about it here...and if you have a few quid to add to the coffers that would be amazing..every penny goes direct to the Professor whose life work is to find treatment and cure for a devastating lung condition which is very close to the Howies Family. You will read all about it if you click here. and THANK YOU!! https://www.justgiving.com/page/thebigfish
