I've started writing up our trip.

Part 1.

Looking forward to reading this when I get home. Great effort btw - cant get my lad on a bloody bike!

vaguely exciting stuff Rich.

Minipips is an inspiration!

Are you in contact with Craig Madsen in NZ? His son Mac has done some big stuff as well, North to South and I think they planning on riding the Kiwi brevet next year.

I am totally in awe of Minipips. Incredible. What an adventure.

All done now.

Thanks MussEd and Charliecres

Enjoyed that Rich. Nice one.

Just read the whole of your blog, grinning the whole way through! What a wonderful thing to do with your lad.

Inspirational stuff.

Really enjoyed that, fair play to ye.

A very Inspirational read well done guys

Good read, sounds like you had a great time. Back to school with a bump I guess!

It's just twigged - I was the late arrival early riser in the bothy by Loc ma Stack. I though you 2 were a pair of walkers (the fire smelt good!) - I didn't spot the bikes round the back until morning.

Rickie cotter stopped in the spooky ruin - I tried to tell her the next day that it was haunted but she wasn't too phased by that.

Thanks folks.

Shame you slept in the back room Steve, it was nice and warm in there. :)

Rickie said she slept in an abbatoir one night and some public toilets another! A proper hobo.

I once slept in the public toilets in Breamar, they were heated...

Just got around to reading this. Absolutely fantastic stuff, a real inspiration!

A great read Richard, glad Tom had a good time in that weather!
Cheers
