They've arrived in Scotland!

Johnny & Mark have landed safely at Inverness after an uneventful flight, but not an entirely problem-free check-in at Southampton Airport - unfortunately, their very carefully packed bikes wouldn't fit into the out of gauge (extra large) x-ray machine, so had to be opened & searched.

Never mind, I suspect this may be a minor hiccough compared to some of the other difficulties they may have to face!!

So, even as we speak, they are pulling on their lycra shorts & fastening their helmets in order to cycle to Inverness station, where they will take the train to their overnight stop near John O Groats to be ready for the big start tomorrow - then it's all downhill to Land's End - isn't it?!!!

  1. Good luck boys.
    Hope it's not too hot for the trip, we got burnt and dehydraterd just opening a few lock gates and generally sitting on our a's on a millpong like grand union.

    Thinking of you not forgetting Tracey who I hope is enjoying the solace.
