John O'Groats to Lands End.

Where to start? (apart from the obvious) Tim first mentioned this adventure in late January at a family gathering in Cornwall.
His original plan was to go alone (no mates) so I asked if he would like some company, me, (also no mates).
So there we are, or will be, on the 10th September 2011, probably standing in the pouring rain in a gale force wind, at the starting post in John O'Groats, wondering what the bloody hell we are about to do!

What we are doing is, trying to raise money charity, "The Firefighters Charity" and "The Pearl of Africa Foundation"
more information about them can be found on our JustGiving pages, look for Bill Light and Tim Light in the "Sponsor a Friend" section, and while you are looking there, please feel free to do just that?
We are taking a longer route than most do, 1030 miles, via Mull and Arran, just to use a few more ferries.
Staying at Fire Stations almost every night, I will hopefully find time to write each days events, news and updates on sore bums and aching legs, for you all to laugh at!

There is a list of our route maps, (2nd post) which will open each days ride in Google maps. Street view will let you see some of the views we will see, have fun using it, I did.

So until the ride starts that will be all.
