ACKNOWLEDGMENTSI would like to thank everyone who walk with me ;some for 12 miles, some for a day or two some for the Great Glen Way or the West Highland Way. However a man who walked every mile of the way with me on this epic journey was my brother-in-law Pat's brother Jim Morrison. He was an inspiration and kept me going when I was sore or flagging. He has also raised a tremendous total in sponsorship for the cause. Thanks Jim I could not have done it with out you. Another person I would like to thank is Adam Davidson our late recruit. Adam is the Chair of the Highland Relay for Life for Cancer Resarch Many thanks to Stuart Mingham And it artwork, which we are now using as our logo, his art work is outstanding. Sadly as yet I have been unable to add his website to our links but his work is so good, we recommend a vist to www.art-from-viewpoints,co,uk . A great big thanks to Crawford Croll who has kindly given us the use of his camper van; without his help Pat would have been unable to accompany us on the walk. The classic camper van will be our support vehicle and mobile HQ. A big thank you to Robert Campbell and John Ford our main drivers and gofers.They made sure the Camper van was where it was meant to be and we had all our necessary supplies. You have no idea what a welcomed sight the Blue & White Camper was parked in a Car Park after a long hard day or at at a lunch break! Other people to thank are Jay Muirhead for website & publicity & admin/PA/PR work and generally supporting/ organising this event and keeping Stephen going!!! Jay is a wonderful organiser who is great at resourcing things/ contacts and fixing it for us. But she shuns the publicity but clearly we could not have done it without her! I would also like to thank John Ford for his general technical expertise and support and for keeping us going in tea and coffee during pre walk meetings !
