This is Andrew Signing Out!!

Well what an unbelievable experience. Energy sapping,YES. Mentally Draining, YES. Hard work, Definitely. Strenuous, YES. Stressful, VERY. Would I do it again??? YES (although not in a hurry). Although it was such a gruelling challenge, I have to say I enjoyed every minute, well..... maybe not the rain in Scotland!! This was mainly due to the fun and laughter John and Jonny provided throughout the entire journey. (Jonny even managed to makes us laugh in his sleep). Thanks for that guys, probably the only thing keeping me going at some stages.

Her is a list of some of my highlights of the journey.

1. Glorious sunshine at John O'Groats....until we set off!!! Constant rain for 3 days.
2. Jonnys Singing/Lyrics. Seriously mate there's a career for you in that line of work for you!
3. John, unable to cycle in a straight line whilst talking.
4. Road Kill! I've never seen so many dead animals (dears, birds, squirrels, mice, rats, badgers.....WILD BORE). the list goes on.
5. An unbalanced diet. Perfect for the small journey ahead.
