Que? I forget that houses have to be sold before they can be bought... comes from having lived in rented flats & rooms for too long, then finding this place under very different circs. I missed Humphrey this year, and many others I'd hope to meet up with. Suffice to say though if Humph ran into something big, scary and "Outer Limits"-y, he'd out-Outer Limits it! ZOMG???? Que?

The house is still on the market, and I pray that somebody will buy the bleeping thing daily! Gotta get out and do some weeding in the front tomorrow, as it's looking rather run down since I've been away. (Okay, maybe even before I left...) I am sorry to say that I saw no ghosties, but Humphrey had an odd experience outside Charr bothy... Eep! I reckon I started too far away from the Cairngorms to make my haunted bothy hop a comfortable reality this year, so I already have my excuse and motivation for planning next year's trip (if I get in, of course).

Hope you managed to find a haunted bothy or two, and maybe even a close encounter!

I thought from what Rog said on Thursday that you'd not been able to finish!! Many congratulations on your tenth crossing :) *genuflects* I love that video with the bloke at the back. Actually, I do think it prolly was the BGM masquerading as a Challenger, but stopping when he realised you had him on video. As for Roger, if I ever manage to complete 10 crossings I would love to receive my gong from him :) Wonderful stuff! I thought from what Rog said on Thursday that you’d not been able to finish!!
