Luke's said about the journey:
"In the end we took a really lovely route taking in some great spots like Arran, the Mull of Kintyre and the Black Isle and stopping for the wonderful hospitality of various folks and taking a lot of small roads to avoid the busy ones. Despite all that our mileage has not been significantly more than others. I think 870 is the minimum but most take nearer 1000. We took 980. It all worked out swimmingly despite no real planning. And the weather has been on our side nearly all the way, which makes a massive difference of course...
Time for a beer!"
Dave and Luke left Land's End 12 days ago...
And with some careful planning (after setting off)...
Stunning scenery...
Only one puncture...
...They have reached John O'Groats!
This amazing challenge and adventure has so far raised £685 for Spinal Research and £1850 for DSUK which will help sponsor sister Anna’s ski racing.
“Thanks all for your amazing support!
Tuesday's diary:
"Cracking day today. Sunny all day. Knocked off 20 Quick miles up to Loch Ness then a nice little climb and long descent to Beauly. After that we had another 20 sunny miles cycling the length of the Black Isle. A great lunch at Cromarty while we waited for the ferry, which we missed but which came back in to pick us up (we were the only passengers) then mostly the busyish A9 to finish along the coast.
"92 Miles in the end bringing is to 980 in total, although my speedo broke yesterday so I'm stuck on 797 miles!”
Luke Turney and Dave Bosomworth reached John O'Groats at 3 o'clock today, in 12 days.
Brother Luke and Dave, you are amazing! Thank you guys so much! I wish I could've joined you but it would take some heavy training for me.
Alan Cook is currently the first handcyclist en route from John O'Groats to Land's End. Good Luck Alan! see http://www.justgiving.com/AlanCookRAB for more info.
