The Final Push! day 6 Golspie Lunchstop

(14.40 hrs)

Dear Friends,

...and so the final push from our lunchstop at Golspie to the promised land of John O'Groats has finally begun!

After an absolutely amazing hospitable reception at Golspie in the local St Andrews Church, with the ladies of the parish laying on a huge variety of cakes and puddings for the team, the riders set off around 14.15 for the final 70+ miles of their 6 day journey.

The weather here in the Northern corner of Scotland today could not be better, with blue skies, a warm sun, and light winds.

Even after 5 and a half days of cycling, the team looked in wonderful spirits and were eager to eat up the miles to their final destination.

So upwards and onwards they go.........

But before they left, here are a few words above they asked me to blog on their behalf, before setting off...

.......................next blog John O'Groats!

Kind regards

Hiten
