Our reception team always ask departing guests 'where are you heading today?', standard replies range from 'heading back home', 'off to find the lost valley ' or 'finishing the last leg of the West Highland Way'. Not often do we hear 'Continuing my walk from John O'Groats to Land's End' Pictured above is Patrick Fleming who is doing this epic journey of 1600 miles over 80 days and is hoping to raise £30,000 for The Gurkha Welfare Trust, which supports Gurkha ex-servicemen and their families. These fighting men of Nepal are well known for their bravery and courage. For nearly 200 years the Gurkhas have fought alongside Britain as a friend.

Refreshed & fighting fit after a night at Clachaig we waved farewell to Patrick and look forward to welcoming Joanna Lumley any day soon. Good luck Patrick.
