The Fridays Tour

What?
24 hours has passed, and not a word.

Have they fallen off the edge?

Or something?

Iffy mobile/broadband coverage in the wilds of Scotland?

Or they met Sawny Bean.

A swarm of killer midges...?

Nom, nom, nom.

Not quite. Allthough a few were getting blown towards the railings on a couple off the bridges.
You are right about the mobile coverage, gettting a bit patchy. You get a signal start to make a call and it's gone again.

Hugs and strength to the group. MTFU trembles in your presence.

John (redflight) is reporting on his blog and you can track him from there - they were up and running when I looked earlier. The signal can be intermittent but it's reasonably reliable. Go here:

Come on everyone! 50 last miles to go...forget the rain and low temperatures + the 100 flood warnings "further South" and go for it. A big challenge for you all...it will make the simplest food taste like a banquet and the beer at The John O'Groats Inn slip down like Ambrosia...

"Och aye the Stu...nearly there"

That tracker thing's great. Judging by a bit of back and forthery along the Dunrobin Road, they've just had their elevenses by the shorefront in Helmsdale and are now on their way to Wick.

Last day, folks. It's almost in sight. You knew it wasn't going to be easy, but this is now heroic stuff! Makes the Morecambe ride seem like a walk in the park.

I'm impressed by all of you.

I'm impressed by all of you.

Same here- only stumbled across this thread a couple of days ago and wish I'd been following their progress all the way. Admirable stuff and not far to go now.
The tracker is great (even if it does say they were doing 41mph earlier!)

Matching the tracker to the OS map shows Red was going the right way (downhill, duh!) on a one chevron slope, so 41mph is no surprise, as he's flying a recumbent trike. They must be almost there by now. C'mon team, dig in.

Tracker says about 10km to go. I'm on on the edge of my rather comfortable sofa.

Slow for John on his flying armchair...
