Allan Brown, Cleaning Doctor, achieves his "Before 50 Goal".

Allan Brown and friend, Elaine, summit Ladhar Bheinn

Hi William

I was in Knoydart and no mobile signal...

This weekend was a long wanted goal before my 50th birthday. Ladhar Bheinn (pronounced LAR VENN). Boat in, as no roads into Knoydart, and 8 mile walk to base of mountain, 3,000 feet up to top (3,300 feet) at the summit a half mile ridge 2,000 foot drop either side,  then back down and 8 miles walk out. 10 hours 4.5 litres of water drunk, all sweated out. Since January I've lost 2.5 stones, 4 inches off my waistline, all my suits, jackets and jeans are falling off me, as are your green trousers you gave me in January . How goes your diet?  

(Regretfully, Willaim Little's diet has not gone as well)
