Arriving in Helensburgh I am eager to set off on my thru hike of the John Muir Way across Scotland. After the first few steps the “bonny Scottish rain” turns into a lashing downpour complete with road spray from passing vehicles racing down the road alongside me. A few miles later the calm drizzle of the logging road I’m on is shattered by massive lumber loaded trucks bigger than the road thundering towards me. I stumble upon a water soaked warning sign that is so trashed and smeared the only word I can read is “IMPASSABLE!” Yeah that’s just the beginning of things, but
I have learned to trust in myself and in the trail. To break clean away, as old Johnny said, is not an easy thing sometimes but it is always worth it. This I’ve come to know, and so I quietly press on.
