Due North...
I spoke to Dad last night (Sunday), and he had a really relaxing day. He met up with a friend from college days (service at the Cathedral and time to chat), which was fantastic - especially as they hadn't met up since leaving Cambridge! When he left Edinburgh, he was met by 1000's of cyclists of all ages going in the other direction on an Edinburgh/Glasgow cycle run - tempted as he was to join them, he kept going in his direction and was rewarded by fantastic views of the Forth Road Bridge.
Today (Monday) shouldn't be too bad and his host last night had some comforting news about the Cairngorms - he has helped to scan the Land's End to John O'Groats route for some runners, and says that the hills of Devon and Cornwall arre the worst as they are steeper, and you keep having to go up and down... whereas over a pass it's all up and then all down, so not as bad... fingers crossed, but dad says he's mentally adjusted for a couple of really tough days, and will be very relieved when they're over... amazing dad!

Hi Peter, just back from Mallorca where there is a heatwave. Have been thinking of you in the cold & pouring rain lots ( & feeling guilty about it ! )Great that you have got so far & got so much sponsorship. Have tried to phone several times without much luck. You are V difficult to get through to. Will keep trying. You must stop & eat lunch sometimes. Any chance you could switch your phone on then? Good luck for the rest of the journey. Gill & John.
