Trig's Trek
Saturday 1 November
Nearly 80 friends and family of Simon Triger went up Ben Nevis in memory of Simon. It was a lovely site, as we all snaked up the north side of the Ben, in one of Scotland's glorious wintry days. In fresh snow we gathered at the CIC huts for lunch, photos and a toast to celebrate Simon's life. There were canoeists, hashers, climbers, and runners (a few sporting the coveted Westies hat) and several who cross dress, so to speak. It was a great day, thanks to Katy for all her organising.
In the evening there was a meal and a lots of drink and chat at the Claggaig. As Dave and I checked into Glencoe youth hosted we had a pleasant surprise. A familiar German voice said " I know you from Loch Ossian, you are WESTIES!" Yes, it was Thomas, newly arrived from Germany (his second day as warden). Nearly 6 years to the day since he left Loch Ossian, he is back in Scotland, this time with two lovely wee daughters. He says he has been looking at our web site over the years, to see if we still go to LO. Welcome back.

Trig's Trek was a wonderfull way to celebrate Simon. Katy did an amazing job organising the event and producing the fabulous meal, and even arranging perfect weather conditions !
It was such a pleasure to meet so many of Simon's friends in Scotland as well as all his Nottingham friends, and especially to meet such a warm group of people as the "Westies"!
Hope to see you all again sometime in the future. All the best..
