We did it!

We've cycled 1072.4 miles in sixteen days. Top speed of 35.5 mph (lowest speed of walking). We have been rained and hailed on, had scary downhill moments, long, long uphill moments, and been shot at. We've eaten lots of cake, tea on cold days, ice cream on hot days (+ gallons of water), seen amazing views, lots of birds & a variety of plant life, some of which bit back. We both have a list of places to go back and visit again with more time, and we're both looking forward to scrubbing away the sweat & WD40, eating an enormous meal and going to bed with our lovely shiny medals.
We've met an amazing variety of people, and have been helped and heartened by support from all around us.
There wasn't a proper signpost thing, but this one pointing back to John O'Groats.

    Well done, you must feel fantastic. We are delighted for you. Ian still has a smile on his face two weeks later and is planning the next trip. We are off to cycle the Nantes Brest Canal in Britanny in two weeks. Love Ian & Carrie :o)
