During the Christmas holidays 2010, i decided to set myself the challenge of cycling Lands End to John o Groats in aid of The Kids of Kolkata Drochas Trust. On the 30th of July i will start my journey of over 1000 miles in eleven days with help from friends and family along the way. This blog is my way of sharing my highs and lows from the day i got my new bike to my arrival day at John o Groats.........hang onto your hats this is going to be a bumpy ride :-)

Midweek meanders ....
Ardendrain-Beauly-Muir Of Ord-Connon Bridge-Maryburgh- Culbokie-Avoch =28miles
A pleasant ride out in the sunshine, luckily the wind was behind me all the way, it was kind of planned that way if I'm being totally honest...I cycled down to Beauly to get my partner in crime and we went for a lovely wee ride. At the Culbokie turning we went our separate ways and i climbed the hill to Mnt High. From the top of the hill you can see for miles. It was picture perfect, beautiful sunshine, and all the fields looked even greener than normal, stunning ;-)
So there i was on my lonesome at the top of this hill looking at the descent like a kid in a sweet shop, feeling all competitive i decide to switch on my virtual partner (such a geek) and have a bit of a race.. guess what i won !! no great achievement i have to add ... its wasn't hard, he/she was worse than useless ....
