Garry, Barrie and Nick - Well done on the completed “slow way round”. I was the solo cyclist (John O’Groats to Land’s End) who met you on Sat. 17th May between Fort William and Glencoe. I could have done with a tow up Glencoe but you whizzed on past! I got to Land’s End within my 10 day schedule and just before the really horrid weather started for the Bank Holiday w/e. Really like the idea of your trip around the UK and hope to convince my wife to do it on our BMW R850R, which should be a bit faster and easier than a push bike. Well done on the trip.
Regards, Jonathan

There were days I laughed, and days I nearly went mental. Like your good selves I had wanted to do it with someone else, sadly no one else fancied the challenge! Things that were incredibly frustrating or felt like the end of the world at the time would have seemed so much less important if I hadn’t been travelling solo.

Are the pair of you intending to turn up at Rhayader this July for the annual Cub90 meet? The dates are the 11th, 12th and 13th of July. Just an informal get together- I missed last years’s idiocy, but intend to make it this time round.

When all is said and done, my body and mind seemed to have forgotten the bad parts of my trip, and I’m already scheming for a follow up in a few years time. Trouble is, where do you go from here?

Good luck with it, the pair of you.

Chris.
