So we made it to Scotland. We've run the full length of England and seen a lot of the best bits. We haven't taken the most direct route and certainly not the fastest and have done 755 miles in England with another 450 or so in Scotland. We're still both chirpy (well, most of the time) and still tolerating each other's company. We've had a few little injury niggles but on the whole we're both remarkably healthy, one of us having lost some weight (the other didn't have any to lose). Not having had any days off, the legs tend to ache and its hard work getting going in the mornings after stops, but once we get moving we're OK.
We're always pleased to finish each day but we still look forward to the next day with enthusiasm rather than dread. There's still a long way to go, but we're nearer the end than the start so we're getting more confident about making it.
We're eternally grateful to everyone who has supported and encouraged us and also to everyone who has donated or promised a donation to our chosen charities, Marie Curie Cancer Care and Macmillan Cancer Support. Even perfect strangers we have met en route have given us money which is very gratifying.
So, onward and upward to John O'Groats (p.s. some slightly warmer weather please!) MPB
