Day 5 - Thursday.

Today we travelled from Stranraer up to Roy Bridge just outside Fort William. It was a decent day which saw us leave on time around 8:30am. We didnt stop for a lunch but stopped at Loch Lomond for an ice cream. We travelled from there up the A82 which to me has to be the best road I have ever been on. The scenery was spectacular around Glencoe and into Fort William. We arrived at Roy Bridge around 4pm, got showered and changed then went to the hotel bar for a lovely meal and a chat with the locals who all wished us well on our travels.

I would like to take this chance to wish our condolences to all the family of a true gentleman, Graham who sadly passed away on Thursday morning after an illness. We dedicate today's stage of the ride to him, he will be sadly missed and our thoughts are with all the family at this time.


Day 6 - Friday.

Are we nearly there yet??? We have today come from Roy Bridge to a place just north of Montrose called Johnshaven where we have found a cracking little campsite to pitch up for the evening. We have had a nice day calling at Loch Ness and then riding through Inverness and Aberdeen. It has got to be said that the tiredness and concentration levels are really running low now and we are all getting tired by lunchtime which means the afternoons seem to last forever and we look forward to stopping, but we push on knowing that there are only 2 days to go and this epic journey will all be over. We are hoping to be at the Humber Bridge on Sunday at around 1-1.30pm but this all depends on the weather for tomorrow and how far we get. We are looking at getting down to to the Whitby area tomorrow and camping around there somewhere.

The sea is looking rough, the sky is dark and the wind is blowing! Is this going to be the first shower of the whole week??
