Day 15 Bettyhill to Scourie
Both these villages if you look at your map are very tiny and seemingly insignificant. The reason that I chose these two to stop over is purely for my love of the natural beauty of and the tranquility that comes with it.
This will be a running day again and a hard but beautiful one, following the northern coast of Britain for 67 miles towards the west. It will be a day of going up and coming down, with a total ascent of 4022ft and slightly more of a descent of 4144ft. Which means with 728ft maximum height and for the first time -3ft minimum height. This link will give you a better idea of my day planned for this day: http://gb.mapometer.com/running/route_1673334.html
Finishing day 15 would represent a third of the United Kingdom completed by the most primitive and also the most enjoyably scenic method of running.
After such a long time preparing for this expedition, planning, looking for sponsors, looking for allies, hoping for donations, every footstep forward will seem like and amazing victory. Having never done anything as elaborate as this, the fear of not completing this expedition always lurk in the back of my mind.
I guess the same is relevant to all the women who goes through Breast Cancer. It is a seemingly overwhelming task set out before them, having to deal with quick successions of consultations, explanations, examinations, surgery, treatments, more treatments not knowing exactly what is happening and your mind still trying to make sense of it all.
All I can say to anyone who is going through Breast Cancer is to hold on, persevere, be optimistic, don't focus on the rest of your life and all that will or have changed. In the beginning just take each day as each day. Every small battle won, amounts to the war being won in the end.
