“Godot”

Ian and I often hike together and he coined my nickname. Where did he get that from?

Every few years in my lifetime I would bop up a Munro or two with friends, followed or interspersed with lots of alcohol. Exhausting experiences!

Turning 50 saw the challenge of joining a team trekking to Machu Piccu via the Salkantay Trail – a brilliant experience. I would never have made it without Ian’s support in pre-hike training.

Finding myself in semi-retirement at 54, a weekly jaunt up the hills with Ian became a prerequisite of my life, along with many other things.

Ian, Garry and I completed the “Sidlaws Skyline“ in early ’21 in aid of prostate cancer research and in honour of Stuart. 2022 will see the challenge of the West Highland Way with the Band of Brothers & possibly Everest base camp.

I met Stuart many years ago through Ian. Stuart was a gentle and humorous man. I thoroughly enjoyed his company on three fantastic golf holidays. Copious amounts of beer and curry consumed, and hilarious stories from childhood shared.

Good times.
