Mark and Gus are not currently frozen to the spot in John O Groats, but shortly after shaking hands at the end of our last 75 miles, we were hit by an almighty rain and hail shower and so the blog was rather curtailed!
Diving into the car once we had the tandem strapped to the roof were the priorities. Gus's Step Brother and Step Mother had driven up to help get us back to Inverness and after a brief stop to refuel and have a celebratory drink, we were driven back to the car hire place in Inverness where we picked up a white van. We left Inverness at 6pm and once Mark was deposited in Witney, Gus drove back to arrive in Swindon at 4:45.
Both of us are back at work today (Thursday).
What's next...?
Mark is compiling a series of clips incorporating film and photographs from the ride that he will put on YouTube and we will put a link on the Blog.
Gus will start counting money (as his Scottish ancestry would demand). We have reached our target amount of £2000 in online donations but a number of people have chosen to give money to the MS Society by using the sponsorship forms. Not sure how much there is yet but we appear to have raised more than £500 or more that will be added to the online donations.
