On the road

Hello

Here's our first official post, we are on the way up to John O'Groats and have stopped at a B&B enroute near Lochness. Thought we would make the most of the laptop and internet connection available to guests.

Tomorrow we drive into Inverness, drop off the hire car and get the train to Thurso, that then just leaves a short 20 mile cycle to John O'Groats. We then start proper Sunday morning, bit nervous now as the road through Scotland is very busy and not very cycle friendly!!

Very very excited, Maria hasn't slept for days and we haven't even started yet!!

See you all when we next stumble across a computer.

Andy & Maria x

    Good luck guys - who will be back in Devon first, you from John O'Groats or me from Oz? I'm due back on the 15th.
    All the very, very best - let's hope the weather is in your favour and there will be strong northerly winds to blow you back to Lands End. We all know it is downhill all the way!
    Love Peggy

    Hi Maria & Andy

    I hope that you're not getting drowned in Bonnie Scotland!? I hope the ride is going well and that you're enjoying your "holiday". Everyone here at the Centre sends their best wishes - thanks again for choosing Calvert Trust Exmoor visitors as the beneficiaries of your fantastic fundraising ride from one end of the country to the other. Looking forward to your next blog. Fiona

    Come on folks.

    Pics and write ups, no slacking and hurry up back because I need a massage ;-)

    Good Luck both, hopefully the weather is better up there than it has been down here.

    Enjoy - You crazy fools.

    Hi Maria & Andy - hope you're still both alive & well! The papers seem to need your surname in order to print a story - can you advise me on that? It's sunny here today which is a BIG change. Look forward to hearing good news of your progress. Fiona
