OK, this sounds like an April Fools' Joke, but it's not! A boxer named Madge enjoying a run along a beach in the UK found a smelly disgusting (what else is new!) rock. Turns out it's ambergris, highly valued by the perfume industry. Read more about ambergris here and here.
So, will your Highlands walk take you along the ocean at any point? Keep your eyes (and nose) open!!
ReplyDeleteNo beaches on the walk - all hills and mountains. But on my rest day I may take the train over to the west coast and look for whales etc.
