A week later and.....

Well, you have heard from 2 of the guys since we finished so I thought I would just wind up my end of the journey.

 

Got to say I had a few reservations before the trip and was not sure how the "team" would gel but I have to say they were a pleasure to be with. We all had our bad days but I think that is what teamwork is all about, encouraging and working through it together. This was a "team" in he true sense of the word.

 

Before the journey started I never doubted I would finish, but twice during it I was going through a pretty low period and thought about giving up and the strange thing it wasn't about letting the charity down, or myself, or even the people that donated, it was more about letting the "team" down and sure enough the guys got me through  it.

 

So enough of that and as Grant started it here are some of my best and worst bits:

 

Best Wellies award:     Rose and Crown, Nether Stowey...or Nether regions!!

 

Best area:    Wye Valley

 

Best Beer:     Ginger Tosser

 

Best Meal:     Spean Bridge

 

Worst Hill:     Camelford.......be afraid people, be very afraid !!!!

 

Worst Day:    Journey to Kendal and checking into the hotel that time forgot

 

Worst Arrival:    Hello Ludlow...ouch

 

Scariest Moment(s):    Hindo applying his bottom cream every morning

 

Strangest Moment:     The nutter on the roundabout into Hereford, strange man in a green hoodie and flip flops in the pouring rain waving his arms at us.....turned out to be Ian

 

Happiest Moment:       Arriving as a Team in John O'Groats,  finishing what we set out to do

 

Most Painful moment:   Every morning getting out of bed and doing my Douglas Bader impersonation

 

Most Worrying moment:     I.T Johnny and the Porn Star Wabbit

 

Would like to say thanks to The Doc, I.T Johnny, and Hindo for a fantastic time, great memories and a lot of laughs. Also like to say thanks for all the support, donations and the time / effort people have put in.

 

Finally a special thanks to Ian without whose help this would have been a lot harder, you did a fantastic job for us - thankyou.

 

Bob.
