28. The day has come - we are off to the airport for our 12 hr journey north, and then north some more.... The next updates will (hopefully) be coming from John o'Groats late this evening / tomorrow morning!

    There are sure to be a few comedy pictures by then as well I imagine!

33. WE REACHED £1000!!!!

    Thanks to everyone for donating so far. We will do our very best not to disappoint....

    This week we are planning to put all our kit together and work out exactly how its all going to fit. Stay tuned for some likely comical photos of the resulting "bikes/mobile homes"..

34. Well - Not long left now. A couple of amusing updates.... Outside Halfords car park, a coin was tossed. Heads we walked away, tails we bought wicker baskets for our bikes and turned our adventure into the Miss Marple challenge. Tails it was. See the gallery for some images of Paul’s completed installations, mine is pending some modifications.

    The second update is reference our attempt to ride to work this morning. I think I may have asked if we could avoid a half mile stretch of road in exchange for the pleasant tranquility of a cycle path. 6 miles or so later we decided it was best to head back home and drive in as we were clearly completely lost. Not a good sign to be getting lost in Milton Keynes 2 weeks before we head of to Scotland.....

We have now recieved over £500 in sponsorhsip which is fantastic considering we still have 113 Days, 21 Hours, 30 Minutes & 7 Seconds until we leave John O Groats (at the time of writing this news item).

    Thanks again for all your support!
