Day 1

After breakfast of poached eggs and toast the boys set off from Bannatynes Inverness at about 7.30am.

Although it was drizzly and slightly windy the weather was not too bad to start with. However by late morning that was all to change!! Wind and rain all the day, accompanied climb after climb!! At one point we thought we were only about 50 metres from the Pearly Gates!!!

Soaked wet through the boys pushed on for home. A warm coffee was delivered by support driver Harry, although Sean was shivering so much he couldn't actually drink it safely!!!

Anyway we made the 108 mile leg and were greeted by the Bannatynes team
In Aberdeen!!! Fed, physio-ed and watered, we're all tucked up in bed and getting some rest before doing it all again tomorrow!!! Hopefully this time in the dry-if our shoes and gloves ever dry out!!!!

Oh nearly forgot our trip to Dallas!! But unfortunately no Pammy or Sue Ellan!!!!
