The Longest Linear Launch in Living Memory

Invitations are now being sent out for the big Launch event. If you would like to be there, help launch the book - and take part in an unusual happening, please email Peter.Wright@ribbonofwildness.co.uk.

Linear Launch - Help Wanted

Plans for the grant Linear Launch on 5th September are coming along well. Lunchtime in the City Chambers, Edinburgh, with up to 15 groups of supporters out there on the hills, ready to do their bit to help launch Ribbon of Wildness.
Now I`m getting down to the nitty gritty! Urgently looking for someone to help with the technical side of things. So I`m on the hunt for for an eager volunteer who has plenty of savvy about phone systems, who can also source (scrounge) the necessary equipment. The system will need to be able to recieve and hold more than one mobile call at a time, and then be linked up to some form of P.A system in the hall.
I`ll also need someone with good telephonist/call centre skills to opperate the system.
Not asking for much, eh!
Anyone out there who can help?
I`d love to hear from you.

The Great Linear Launch on 5th Sept

I`m still looking for some small groups to take part in a few of the remaining locations:
Ben Tee in the Great Glen
Ben Attow (or Fhadda)
Ben Hee in the far North West
Duncansby Head
Around 1.00p.m on Sunday 5th September.

Any takers?

The other 11 locations are now pretty much spoken for.

No crowds on Ettrick Pen

Yes, I spent about 6 hours up on the southern part of `the Ettrick Horshoe` on Monday. Good views - The Cheviot, Lakeland Fells, Solway, Criffel, Galloway Hills, and so on right round to The Eildons and Tweed valley. Good dry walking with hardly a bog in sight. Now remember, this was on Bank Holiday Monday, and the weather was fine - so imagine my surprise that I saw not a single soul until I got back down to the read. Where have all the walkers gone?

Off to the hill with two names.

Forecast for Sunday and Monday in the Border Hills is good. Its the holiday weekend. I`m desperate to pick up where I left off last year, at Ettrickhead. So come Sunday I`ll be off to Over Phawhope Bothy for the night, then up on to `The Pen of Eskdalemuir`, now more commonly known as Ettrick Pen. Brilliant.
