Text Update - Journey Complete!
I just got a text from Cathy:
Made it finally at 7:15. Phone died. There are no pics for blog at mo :(
First 80 miles were a hill slog; an eagle was looking at me as carrion I was moving so slowly! Last 45 were a bit flatter but crappy wind!
At hotel now. Gonna meet others at 9:30 for fish n chips

Bonar bridge
Our stopover last nite was at Bonar Bridge but for sum reason the person who booked it thought it was at L airg ten miles away! Luckily we got a call before we had gone too far but we ended up doing eight miles more than we needed to!

Nous sommes dans le Nord dEcosse. Il fait du vent, il pleut et naturelment il et tres froid! X j attends le 19 avec impatience xx
More hills
We kept off the main trunk rds and onto some stinker hills. The worst was fifteen pc for nrly a mile. We were popping eyes n nearly blacking out by the time granny rings had ground us to the top. So glad to c vic n thd van! Midges r evrywher yuk!
Tim knocked a nice tune
Tim knocked a nice tune of Mustang Sally on the bedroom door next to his and Marks room believing it to b Vics room . but it was some poor mans room. Evasive action might b needed at brekky!
120 miles
forgot to mention that we did 120 miles yesterday, crawled into hotel at 8.30pm a bit peckish. apparently today will b a bit easier, lets hope so!

Lunch
Big thanks to Liz and Lorna for some great rolls at lunchtime. We were all hungry and swooped on them like vultures. The scenery today has been amazing, alythough when you see the windfarms you know what u r in for! Eventually we arrived in Greenock at 7.15 having done 110 miles.
Injurys
Some one asked bout our injurys, collectively we have saddle sores, pressure sores, aching muscles, nettle stings and sore eyes frm the wind!

Shirt of Shame
Its my turn to wear the shirt of shame cos i havent worn it yet. The rest of the outfit is office socks, shorts and some bad earrings. The inflatable wig was tricky to keep on as it was overblown!
The Shap
Premier Inn, Dumfries - Thursday Night's Stop-Over
The team have come such a long way since leaving the south eastern tip of England on Saturday morning; having passed through Wales on Monday, today they'll arrive in Scotland!
Have you seen all of the pictures arranged on a map of the UK? Just go to the photo web album, and click on the View Map link on the right-hand side of the screen (below the small map). Having done that, you can click on any of the individual photo thumbnails to see it displayed larger on the map. And then(!) you can click Play (just above the big photo) to get an animated slideshow of the photos and watch them travel up the country
