We have done it

Celebrations at Inverness Pizza Express

Well bloggees and bloggettes we have finally made it. As promised the wind blew and made today our hardest day, but even after this short time the pain is being overtaken by euphoria. After pedaling for over 87 hrs covering 1,011 miles I feel my 65th year challenge has been accomplished in style. The taxi from JoG to Inverness was a real treat, anything to remove that 2 inch strip of leather from my crutch is bound to be an improvement. Tomorrow we take the 7.00am train from Inverness to Darlington and so home.
Your interest has helped spur us all on and I could not of wished for two better traveling companions than Sarah & Scott. And of course the icing on the cake is that through the generosity of our supporters Macmillan are over £4,000 better off. Over the weekend we will close this blog with the epilogue. Cheers everyone

  1. Eric as for your reference to '2 inch strip of leather' I thought you might have given up wearing a thong, I hope you only wear it in private, not sure the Scottish beaches are ready for it!
    Well done team.
