We woke up late as the B&B owner said we could take as much time as we liked especially after the horrendous day before and that was before we had got on the beers. We went down for breakfast at about 09:30 and we were welcomed by some other guests and one of the best full English […]
Day Nine 27:07:12 The Long Way Round
After a rough night in the hostel we headed down for breakfast and we were greeted by green eggs and grey baked beans. I decided to give the cooked breakfast a miss and stick the coco pops and warm milk followed by cold toast…. Oh yes I kid you not. We still had not paid […]
Day Seven 25:07:12 Rolling Hills
Today started off really well. We awoke at Caspers to an easy start to the day. Breakie on the sofa while watching tv, Dan trashing the toilet and good convo to start the day. We then slowly started to get ready (we were very comfy and relaxed) and eventually left the flat around 9.30am. Casper […]
Day Six 24:07:12 To Caspers We Go…
So we woke up bright an early and after all of our clothes and trainers were dry we were in good spirits for a good days peddling. We needed to get to a Post Office to get rid of some excess weight as we now know what we dont need and so my little sister […]
Day Five 23:07:12 Two Drowned Rats
We were up bright and early and were down for breakfast at just after 7. I went for the healthy option today and just had cereal and toast along with a yoghurt and a banana. We were heading towards Glasgow today with the hope to get to the outskirts and then tomorrow get through Glasgow and sleep […]
Day Four 22:07:12 Wet And Drizzly
So we woke up bright and early to a wet Fort William. We ached like hell and could not be bothered to go anywhere especially in the rain. We had another fried breakfast which was just as good as the day before and this will be the last one we have as it is not particularly healthy […]
Day Three – 21:07:12 The Mental Brick Wall
After one of the best fry up full English breakfasts we have had so far it was perfect and best of all it was not fried it was all grill cooked which was nice. We chatted to the B&B owners and laughed about our rest day being only 50 miles today and that we are hoping to […]
The Morlea B&B Drumnadrochit – Loch Ness
So we me made to Drumnadochit which is home to the Loch Ness Monster. Our support team back home had organised us a fantastic B&B it is called the Morlea and because they gave us discount because we are cycling for Help For Heroes and well all I am going to say is wow. The […]
Day One – Leaving John O’Groats
So today was the official day we leave on cycle ride down the the UK and we were up fairly early for a full English breakfast which was very well received. I checked over the bikes before we left and Jane’s bike had the chain guard rattling which was annoying so I removed it using brute force and ignorance. […]
Getting To The Start….
This blog post will be written as it happens so bear with it. 🙂 So we were up and showered by 4am and we simply could not be bothered for breakfast and so we just loaded the bikes up and started the short 3 mile cycle to the first train station. This was actually quite […]
