As per trad. the Flett Trek will be run on Hogmanay. As yet still need
confirmations of those intending to come on the epic! Reply here, or
through Tony, Ross or Kathleen (K will be providing the nose bag).

The minibus will be leaving from the Caber car park at 8am, the
earlier the better! But that's probably early enough!! As with life
there's no such thing as a free lunch,so don't forget yer sheckles!You
will need to contribute (van, petrol, food etc)

I dunno how many of these I've been on now - well into double figures
and today I set a new PB for the breast stroke (no Willie thats not
why Kathleen gave me a bloody nose at the end!) - I actually managed a
proper swim for the first time!

As per tradition Gav has dedicated his hogmanay evening to putting
Flett Trek photos on the web for all to see, both for those who were
there to be reminded of how much fun it was and for those who weren't
to see what they missed. Those shy and retiring types who want any
particularly offensive images removed should complain by email but
these will only be actioned if large malts are on offer!

Thanks to all those who made it such a success (believe it or not
these things don't just happen - or can you get a Flett Trek on eBay
these days?) Particular thanks to Willie and whoever it was that
managed to arrange the weather!

Hope you all have a guid nicht

Yes a great day - with Willie and Kathleen (and her Ma) doing the
"donkey" work so it could all happen and of course Gav for all the
hours and hours of toil that results in the site being populated with
images galore. Ain't there some absolute crackers?! Was it really
auld years day?

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL SRACers and SRACarettes
Yep the flett trek was very enjoyable. Thanks Kathleen's mum for the
yummy food...the one time we remember to take a microwave with us only
to find a brand new cooker at the hostel!!!I I think we should set a
routine for the flett trek...If kathleens mum makes the food one year
(this is on the girls side of course) that means the boys are on it
the next year and MA Big D and Eilidh on the dishes every year...until
of course the Ceits Janes Hollys Kirstys and Rebeccas are old enough
to come along..so only another four years guys!!
All the best for 2008 - Neil..are you 50 this year??

Yer all mad...bonkers... crazy. Has Ross done a risk assessment of
this nefarious activity?

Nerves of steel.. much respect from the Inverness posse

It's the nefariousness that makes you want to do it even more! The
risk assessment situation is much more low key .... almost mundane, 1
in 2 zig-zag decents ....not even scary!. Hey, d'you know what I think
I can still get a whiff of Willie Mashies gluevine ....

But what about Gump ... I don't think he's ever done the Trek..

What the... does nefariousness mean anyway? Like Z, my risk assessment
is done by adrenalin generating capacity - the zz's have to be done at
speed to max the pleasure! Some Hearachs have gone and drained and
resurfaced most of it - its almost too easy now! BTW Heb Challenge
rules state no swimming if you have been competing in the previous
30mins just in case someone takes shock and dies of the old stoppage
of the heart problem (doesn't everybody?). Come to think of it, those
guys must wear wetsuits - and they call themselves Adventure
Racers?!?! Fletters are the real deal - Adrenalin Raisers!

Look out Zato - Gump will be seeking his second apology on this board
(I think that will put him into 1st place in the online apologies
requested La Liga). Previously the evil Baroness von Drago showed that
her evil deeds were all encompassing by suggesting that Forest Bocht
might be heading into his second century this year! Unbelievable, how
could she pick on the old fellow like that!!

This time Z, he has the proof for all to see - check out
http://www.srac.org.uk/fletttrek2005.htm!
