We’re Coming Home… We’re Coming Home!

Friday, May 1st, 2009

They say the last 5% of any trip is the most dangerous and believe us the wind and gails on the way up from Dun Loghaire to Holywood stood as testimony to that addage. After over 4000 miles of tarmac and dirt we are finally back in Holywood, at the Green House.

To say at this point we are exhausted is an understatement and the thought of our own homes, beds and particularly bathrooms is heavenly. Family are glad to see us and we are certainly glad to see them… time to sign off now and spend some time with loved ones. We’ll be back blogging after the weekend with pic updates and lots more… must rest, thanks everybody, going to collapse now!

We’re Definately Back in Britain

Friday, May 1st, 2009

Well here we are, back in Britain. familiar roads, number plates and ice cream vans. Sterling required. Managed to cover a few miles yesterday afternoon after arriving in portsmouth, crashed in Lichfield last night and today we’re blasting through Wales to Holyhead to get our early afternoon crossing to Dun Loaghaire. Thens it’s a run from South to Northern Ireland in time for tea… or something like that… if we arrive in Holywood, NI on Sunday bedragled and broken don’t be surprised.

It’s been a long hard 15 days so far but it has been fabulous… 4200 miles in 15 days, that works out at about 295 miles a day… not bad going maybe we could give Charley & Ewan a run for their money! Thanks as always to all our supporters and sponsors, you are all legends!
