Worcester to Tain 530miles - thankfully by car! We left Worcester at 6am this morning with a vehicle chock full of kit and equipment plus minus Nick who flew to Inverness and met us there. (some excuse about a meeting in Leamington but we rckon it was to get out of driving!).

Some fantastic scenery on the way up through the lakes and Scotland - some nice hills we will have to cycle over as well on the way back. Driving up here certainly gives you a good idea of just how far it is - to reach England and then to get to the far corner of it.

Looking forward to tomorrow and getting on the bike - 7am start getting to JOG and then back to the hotel here in Tain Thursday night.
