Re: End to end
Thank you all for your support, we have no time limit but i hope to be back home by the following saturday, I'll try and post every evening to let you know how we are doing.
Shay, we're riding up from Inverness and back to the Midlands from Lands End making it about 1500miles in total, not as far as some members bimbles but a fair ride out by any standards, and all for a worthy cause.
