<\/p>\nDay 91 of the End to End in 2019 was a day of multiple adventures. It was necessary to be a bit creative as we couldn’t get all three of us and all the things in the small car at once, and we had to move campsites today. So we came up with a plan that meant train lovers, Bob and Hannah, both got a bit of train time, I got to walk and we could meet up at the end of the day and retell our stories to each other. Like all of the best adventures, it ended with ice cream.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Hannah opted for a train trip to Corrour, a small station on the West Highland Line, which had a nice cafe, walks and trains. Bob took me to Kinlochleven to start my walk. Still on the WHW, day 91 was through a large valley called The Larigmoor. It was reputedly the escape route used by the McGregors in 1645 (who were running away from the Campbells). In 2020 there has been a lot of talk about history, but I bet there’s plenty of history in these islands most people don’t know. I particularly think the English are ignorant of Scottish history. They may know the bit about the spider, but little else.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The Larigmoor was an amazing walk, with its steep sides, frequent streams to ford and diverse plant life. It was one of the little talked of parts of the WHW. Not so dramatic as Rannoch Moor or challenging as the Devil’s Staircase, but still amazing. It was also a bit intimidating. Although not that far, in a large valley walking on your own it’s easy to wonder if you can walk that far.<\/p>\n In 2020 my recent stay in hospital was also anxiety provoking so I can understand folks are not using them so much as before lock down. I certainly didn’t expect to be admitted and I think the absence of visitors (it would just be too risky) also makes it feel a bit isolating. But I was safe and well cared for and discharged home in due course.<\/p>\n in 2019 I was thinking about this section of Psalm 23:<\/p>\n Even though I walk through Death’s valley, I am not afraid, for you are there for me.<\/i> One year later, it is of course still very pertinent, just as I suspect it might have been in 1645 in the Larigmoor.<\/p>\n Companion Christ, you know this landscape: JAL 15.07.2020 in Longdendale.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Day 91 of the End to End in 2019 was a day of multiple adventures.

\nWaves of anxiety come and go with me, mostly due to over thinking about others.
\nThere is so much of life we cannot control, of course. Jesus doesn’t avoid Death’s valley, for himself or us. He is familiar with the landscape. He’s ready to walk through it again.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\nyour familiarity is a support to me in times of high anxiety.
\nThere is something about walking that makes it a great adventure:
\nEven thought I am fearful at times, I am ready to walk on with you.<\/p>\n
