The end of our "official" walk, but not the end of our journey

I apologize to everyone who is wondering exactly where we are and what is going on with us, for waiting three days to let you know that we had actually left the TGO Challenge walk officially. Right now we are camped in Braemar. Tuesday we took a bus and then train from Fort Augustus to Montrose, where we retrieved some of our belongings that we had sent on ahead. Yesterday we were able to get the parcel that contained this laptop computer, so that's at least partly why it's taken a while to get everyone updated.

We do have cell phone access at this point, with UK numbers. Currently we are on the Vodafone network with the number +447766600112 (if you are not familiar with it, the "+" stands for the international dialing prefix, which in the US is 011 - most cell phones should be able to accept the "+" itself directly as part of the number). We do have a T-Mobile number, as well, which is +447940164915. We might switch to that at some point if the Vodafone network is not available, but for now the Vodafone number is the one that should reach us.

We're not quite sure of all of our further plans at this point, but we'll let everyone know and will be making some phone calls ourselves (finally!).
