The Freedom Bell - #500Miles Portree to Edinburgh
My mate Dave Llewellyn seems to come up with some crazy schemes sometimes but the big felly seems to have the Midas touch in whatever he has presented so far and this venture was no exception !! A massive test of human endurance unfolded consisting of a collection of proud Scottish patriots and a bell ..walking from Portree to Edinburgh ringing the Bell of Independence !! I was honoured to play a small part in this and meet a collection of folk who had blisters upon blisters but still kept going !! Laura Marshall IScotland who clung on to her shield the whole 500+miles and the walkers just took it all in their stride as if it was a Sunday stroll !! They suffered torrential rain,winds,abuse from car drivers etc ..but i think the hospitality and the people joining in kept them going although i suspect they would have done it off their own back if need be. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for letting me join such a momentous occasion and to all who supported and went the extra mile to make sure yous were safe and kept hydrated !! Can't tag Dean R Woodhouse as it looks like he doesn't do Facebook. Also Chris from Yes2day.scotland. So how do you condense 21 days into 7 minutes ..YOU CANT..so enjoy the pics and hopefully the 500 crew will be working on a book soon !! Big thank you from the 500 team for the amazing response we got in the great city of Perth ...we are truly humbled :)
