Aftermath

Well, I did it. I cycled from John O'Groats to Lands End. Have to say that any sense of achievement was hugely dimished by the bastards at Lands End trying to charge me £14 for a photo by the signpost. Still, I resisted the urge to hurl the bike off the cliffs at Lands End and dismantled it. And it remains in pieces in the garage. And I fully intend that it will stay there.
Anyway I raised over 1800 pounds for cancer research and the local hospice, which must be a good thing. Many thanks to all who sponsored me. And a rather geeky picture of me appeared in the local paper so I got my 15 minutes of fame. Also, I must confess, I kept the medals which my nephew and niece made me. They hang on the kitchen wall and I am just a little bit proud of what I did.
