Dear all,

As the North Highland Way is a community project, in that is not funded in the normal manner, I thought that it would be useful to introduce you all.

Friends of the North Highland Way, Thurso Development Trust and the North Sutherland Forestry Trust as well as the North West Geopark who we hope will join us as a Friend of the North Highland Way and send me an email to say "hi".

MacKenzie Sutherland - Ward Manager who is assisting by seeing the community councils with the consultation and specification for the North Highland Way, and Matt Dent, Highland Council Access Officer.

I have asked Joan Lawrie if she can assist with matters with the West Caithness Community Council as there is a particular requirement for a route around Dounreay to get people off the road.  As this is not core path, it is not the Council's responsibility to develop this part of the route.  I am also copying a gentleman at Vulcan and hope he can assist. Dounreay is copied here.

My input is to the Local Access Forums, and the development of two more climate change festivals as per my updated web site.


The reporting structure is through Matt Dent and I at Local Access Forums, the one for Caithness is in September, and for Sutherland on 2nd October.  I hope you will all assist the Council in this project, as Matt Dent in particular, has put in a phenomenal amount of effort over and above his role.  For myself, in the summer I will be marketing for Green Destinations and my course using my equestrian magazine, and the Environmental News out next week.  This is not paid, it is therefore community effort.

  I have my meeting with OREF next week but nothing about the North Highland Way will be made public without the express permission of the Board.
