Beag's Big World
Isn't it funny that 'Beag', which is pronounced in similar way to 'bug', is Gaelic for small?
I love the name, it's so apt for the tiny Beag McGonk! He's only about 6cm tall, so there's no problem in taking him anywhere he wants to go...
The trouble is, he wants to go here - Cafe Beag . It's a very long way for a very small McGonk, as Port William is over 200 miles from Fort William. In fact, I'm sure he's mixed up his ports with his forts, hence the reason he discovered it in the first place. So, to satisfy his tiny need for huge adventure, we have promised Beag the trip of his lifetime - a trip to Cafe Beag for the holiday weekend in May.
BUT there are conditions to be met!
Can you guess what they might be?
- Beag must be fit enough to make the trip
- The trip must be frugal - there's a budget of only £150
- Once there, Beag must make it to the top of the hill behind Cafe Beag, and it's a big one!
It's going to be a huge adventure, so the Challenge began yesterday, on January 7th 2013 - 140 days to the day that Beag should be homeward bound after his enormous challenge.
Meanwhile, we're eagerly awaiting news of his fellow clan member who took off from Gatwick Airport (London) yesterday and was making his way to Egypt.
2013 is shaping up to be a rather exciting year for McGonks, so there may be quite a few tales to tell as Beag and his buddies prepare for their adventures. I hope you will join us and follow their exploits.
If you happen to be lucky enough to adopt a McGonk that you'll share your photos on our Facebook page www.facebook.com/ClanMcGonk and join us on Twitter www.twitter.com/McGonks.
The website is being developed at www.mcgonks.com where you will find links to all of the above along with any important updates.
We'll be back soon to bring you more news of McGonks' 'Port William to Fort Wiliam' preparations challenge, now dubbed our 'Port to Fort Challenge'.
