Best of British, good cause, small donation made. many thanks mate , if only I had a quid for every time :giruy::much appreciated . as promised I will give the approximate route and schedule , Day 1 john o'groats to inverness 123.3 miles Day 2 Inverness to Tyndrum 114 miles Day 3 Tyndrum to Kilmarnock 90.2 miles Day 4 Kilmarnock to gretna 92.6 miles Day 5 Gretna to Kirkby lonsdale 96.6 miles Day 6 Kirkby to whitechurch 110.2 miles Day 7 Whitechurch to Cheltenham 109.4 miles Day 8 Cheltenham to Tiverton 131.6 miles Day 9 Tiverton to Pars Sand 82.9 miles Day 10 Pars Sand to Lands End 66.1 miles However we are aiming for 7 or at most 8 days and as we are at the moment averaging 15.6 miles per hour on our training runs , which average from 30 up to 95 miles . this should be ok . To be honest I just want to get started as the training runs though ok soon get on your tits especially the amount of time you have to give up , I'm very lucky that my family are totally supportive , but role on july , cheers bears 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

See if you can reach 8500 miles and as the plane flys you would have taken a path to me. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
