Hi everyone this is my first time at updating the blog and probably the last after Gary and Barrie spell check it. im just going to start by recaping on yesterday from the guy in the backs point of view, normally its their back on the long straight road but yesterday we took a small country lane from lands end to Penzance the bend were so sharp and tight I just couldnt keep up with the 2 heros, neither could the driver of a brand new BMW Z4 who had just been overtaken i think he will give the dealer a ring in the morning compaining of a fault.
Today we made our way from exeter hoping to go through poole and bournemouth but ended up taking a two hour journey on a dual carriageway because of road works and sunday drivers going to the seaside, but got to go through bognor and brighton and eastbourne all the way to hastings.
Also managed to post a photo of us at Lands Ends see the Photo Album.
Folllowing on from Nicks post :-
Thanks to Ben and Calir who we met last night in Exeter for yor company and kind donation.
we’ve had an interesting day today paid an ad-hoc visit to Gary’s Aunt and Uncle in Southhampton where we had a lovely cup of tea along with a generous donation.
Day 3 and about the 700miles done aready a few sore bums and knees all round and thats got nothing to do with the sleeping arrangements. Must admit this has been the worst day so far could not go and see the places we wanted to, traffic jams going into all the seaside resorts and had to divert to a motorway not a happy place for a C90 could not find a twisty bit of road at all today. On a serious note Nissan have recalled all Nissan Micras nothing wrong with this lovely little car its just that anyone who has bought one must re-take their driving test as they are not fit to be on the road.
If all well post again tomorrow
Barrie,Garry, Nick.
