What a shame.

The Angry Corrie was a compulsory reading for us back in the day, usually sitting in a pub in the Highlands on an atrocious weather day.

Bugger.

 

Dave and I had a great bit of correspondence during the Foot & Mouth outbreak, pushing land owners to re-open the paths and discussing "disruptiveness" 😉

The stuff he posted on TAC and elsewhere was always worth a read.

He was posting on Walk Highlands about the Foot and Mouth era  just in the last few weeks.

No inkling he was unwell.

Walking the Watershed is on my bedside table.
