In memory of our UK End to End in 2010 here is the original blog………


Day One – John O Groats to Tongue

Mileage 64 miles

Terrain up, down, up down, up down, up down

Weather Wet, windy, miserable


A cracking full Scottish breakfast to start the day and we're now on our way! And it's

raining of course.

--------------------------------------------

After three metres Chuck had fallen off and we decided to stop for our first beer! The

bloke at the John O Groats pub, thinks we've set a new record. 20 miles done and

time for lunch.

--------------------------------------------

Today the temperature was close to freezing! However in Scotland this is

considered BBQ weather. At one point the weather got so bad, that an elderly

Scottish lady put on a light shawl. Chucks tip of the day - don't tell the barman of

the John o Groats pub that we haven't started yet.

Note to the Scottish FA, if you play all your home international games at Bettyhill,

you'll qualify for the next World Cup as your opponents are unlikely to turn up.

Final thought – (when comparing Aaron's tub of sudacreme with Chucks), by the

time we get to England, chucks sudacreme will be as valuable as penecillin in 1940's

Berlin!

and one other thing. Note to wives, tackles ok, chaffing moderate.
