Day 9

We made it!

Lairg to John O'Groats - 100 miles

Up at 5am we were on our bikes at 6am to get to John O'Groats early afternoon before driving to Perth for the night.

For the first 50 miles we must've only seen 10 cars in total, was so peaceful and barren.




The North coast seemed very picturesque, but then when the rain poured down it suddenly looked very bleak. We arrived at John O'Groats on schedule just before 2pm only to find the official photographer does not work saturdays - surely the busiest day of the week?!

Still we did our own pics and toasted a great success.

Massive thank you to everyone who has sponsored us or helped in some way to make this trip possible. We have been blown away by your generosity and are rapidly approaching doubling our original sponsorship target which is amazing.

Also a massive thank you goes to Mark Klat - without his rally driving/cooking/mechanic/navigational/washing up/massage skills this trip would honestly have not been possible, cheers big fella you have been awesome.

Also hearing the Costa girls snigger whenever he ordered his favourite coffee was a particular highlight of the trip - skinny latte with vanilla essence, now that is a real mans drink!
