Email from Brian at the RRA says - Just phoned Bridget and Chris had just crested A9 Summit at 21:55. Had some rain and a change of clothes. Going well. Still about an hour up.
I think she's going to do it.

So close. It was a very credible attempt.

Poor weather overnight and abandoned

Michelle Lee, Royal Dean Forest CC, is starting an attempt this Saturday.

They're like London buses.

I would hope she is marginally more aerodynamic!

Approaching Exeter, up on schedule. Tracker: https://share.garmin.com/3TPD9
I shall grab my clipboard and head out in a mo.

Going strongly a few hours ago.

She abandoned early this morning at 290 miles - "cold, sickness, and a puncture".

That's a shame, was it wet down in the SW overnight? I assume the sickness bit was key, as the other two are fixable!!
