If ever you are in Lockerbie and need a place to stay you must visit Kirk Loch Caravan & Camping site and ask for Doug. The nicest most generous person in the whole of Scotland (so far - but we only have 15 miles left!) he welcomed us in - pointed us in the direction of the showers and refused to take our money! What a great guy and what a beautiful place. I'm sitting with my feet in the Loch that we are camped beside (pictured) as I type. Ok - much deserved...

Wild Camping 500m from the finish/start was a good call. It meant we got a good night's rest and didn't have a 45 min drive from the campsite that would have been unneeded pressure after yesterday's exhausting late finish. It's incredible how the body can revive itself. The revised strategy for today was to cover 4 mile sections so that if I still couldn't run JT had the option to, and then have a rest or carry on and I would do what I could - picking up food an...

That was an heroic day. By far the toughest so far. We had been expecting Glasgow to be the hardest day because of the challenge of route finding, but that was the least of our problems as it turned out. We finished last night on a fast road with only rough verges. I didn't feel my foot would take 5 or 6 more miles of that, so we managed to find an alternative route that was a tad longer but much quieter and easier to run. Sadly there was no running today. The fo...

A mixed day today. We had already decided to take it easy and use this as a rest day. So when we woke to blue sky and the promise of 19c (as opposed to -1.2c yesterday) all looked fine and dandy. A lazy run along the full length of Loch Lomond. Our first section was 11 miles and in our second (while Greg cycled 70k) we covered 12. But towards the end of this section which was mostly up hill the pain in the top of my foot re-occurred. It was bearable, but by the t...

The weather forecast said it would stop raining by the time we started our run at 9.00 this morning and they were 100 percent accurate - it was snowing! So we started our run up the rest of the the Glencoe Pass in a snow storm. Thankfully by the time we reached the open plateau it had stopped, but it was still -1.2c. So began what turned out to be a very hard day. We kept our spirits high by singing songs at the top of our voices (well I did) but session two was ...
