Today we all met at a nice and early 7.15am to get 14 hours worth of trains from London to Wick (17 miles from John O'Groats). Steve got off to a great start.... he managed to get a puncture on his way to the station and had to call a cab! But we all made it with pannier bags in toe.

| Getting in some much needed training.... |
To be fair there is only so much you can say about train journeys to make them sound interesting. So let's keep it short and sweet.
- Met 3 other people cycling John O'Groats to Landsend (2 of them doing it by themselves),
- Saw some lovely scenery in Scotland
- And most importantly managed to get on all our connections even though the two train conductors in Scotland were being completely preposterous and attempted to read us the health and safety act because their trains could not accommodate more than 4 bikes even though they were half empty.
Anyway enough said. Big day tomorrow - it actually includes some cycling.... Please tune in again same time, same place.
