We are here - it's cold, it's wet & it's windy!

We've arrived in JOG, it only took us 10 hours from Manchester..... Can't believe we will be back there (or there abouts) in 6 days. Have to say it's not that inviting because the headline says it all! Wet, windy, cold! Hopefully tomorrow, start of the epic, will be better.....

The team is all together, 3 bikers, Sandra the super support driver & Ruby the guard dog - nothing can stop us now!

Currently we are consuming fuel.... Having a lovely meal in the Northern Sands Hotel/bar/restaurant.... Plus having a bit of Bowtime. Very nice food & helpful, they are letting us use their business wifi to do the blog. Not sure we'll get this help all along the way. Tomorrow we are staying at the remotest pub in Scotland so the chances of the blog getting published are pretty thin. Anyway, tomorrow we head along the coast, west towards Thurso & Bettyhill before turning south and heading for Crask. The last 15 miles are all uphill but with a pub as the target we should fly!

Soon off to bed, short sleep & back down into John O'Groats for the kick off! All down hill from here...... ish! Thanks for all the messages of support on Facebook & via text, it means a lot and will help spur us on. Cheers all, see you all soon......
