Neil's Blog
A very tough day today as both Paul and I are suffering from a lot of aches and pains especially in our knees which are causing us a fair amount of pain as we ride. It's scary to think that in 5.5 days we have reached Scotland but we still have over 350 miles to go. The mood was lightened with the introduction of the "phwoar she got a lovely pair of ........ " game, and you had to insert a word for every letter of the alphabet. Not much but it got us through 20 miles. We're now sitting in our caravan on a gorgeous farm in the borders of Scotland with stunning views and just before we arrived Toby and Harriet saw Lambs being born on the farm. That's dinner sorted then. Chris joins us again tomorrow for what hopefully will be an easier day as we only have 86 miles to do. Fortunately the Farm also offers B&B so as there isn't much from my waist down that doesn't hurt I'm off.

Please keep the messages of support coming through as they are really helping us

Last night we kindly had our kit washed by the old lady in the B&B, however when we got back to the caravan and sorted the washing into piles we found we had acquired a pair of her frilly knickers!!!!
I was all for taking them back but for some reason Neil has taken quite a liking to them!!
Today wasn't the easiest as someone had broken into my room last night and smashed my knee caps with a cricket bat (well that's what it felt like).
Haven't seen any kilts yet but plenty of pale people with ginger hair.
