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!

Official sponsors we salute you

Sunday, April 19th, 2009

Obviously it goes without saying that none of this would be possible without the support of all our sponsors. You will all be able to see from our gallery page that we are giving your brands a good showing when we can and will be returning with even more exclusive pics of your brands being promoted during our journey.

If you want to keep track with what we are doing daily please follow us on Twitter by clicking the link in the twitter window in the top right of the page. We are now officially Twitter addicts and are currently twittering to over 50 followers, sign up and become one too.

We will be blogging later this week about our challenges and providing the photographic evidence requested so we can be sure to guarantee your pledges.

Well better go now… today we are doing a bit of off roading now that our muscles are feeling like they can take it, plenty of pics and comment will be posted on Twitter as the day progresses so sign on and keep up.

Thanks again to you all for your support.

Thanks BTW Shiells

Watch Out France, Here We Come!

Saturday, April 18th, 2009

Big day today, our last hours in the UK before we ferry to France and better weather we hope. So far so good but we’re both starting to feel some twinges and cramps… maybe this wasn’t such a good idea after all! Well too late now!

As you can see from the pics we are using some extremely advanced navigational systems that Alan is overseeing, as for myself… well I think my pic says it all!

Better make a move and get this show on the road but a quick thanks to our marketing consultant Chris Campbell at Definite Vision who has been assisting us with our digital tech issues over the last few days and also Vincent & Jackie at Ceramica, providers of the finest tiles in North Down if not all of Northern Ireland.

Thanks Definite Vision

Watch Out Britain, Here We Are!

Friday, April 17th, 2009

Hello Everybody. We are now back on the bloggosphere, twittersphers and emailsphere (if there is such a thing). Due to some minor technical issues we have been off the radar but we are now all sorted. Our trip has got off to a fairly soggy start with non stop rain during the Holywood to Holyhead leg on Wednesday 15th and the Holyhead to Brecon leg yesterday wasn’t a whole lot better… but our spirits are high and the best thing is the closer we get to Cadiz the better the weather will get - Hopefully!!

Next stop ferry, then mild, clement France for some real bike riding!

So here goes with a plug for the sponsor that sent us on our way from Holywood on leg one - Octagon Design, our design company of choice and designers of this fantastic website. Cheers Damien & Ray and thanks for all the hard work!

Thanks Octagon

Thanks Octagon, Open You're Eyes Stephen
