On our way

It's finally come - the day we travel up to John O'Groats.

I had a really bad night - woke up at 1am and couldn't get back to sleep - I think it is the anticipation of the coming challenge.

We all met at the College at 8:30 to leave for 9am but the caravan we had hired to use as a refreshment stop for the runners and cyclists along the route was late and not set up.Andy, our College driver, was uncharacteristically stressed trying to get everything organised. The journey to John O'Groats was a bit of an ordeal as with the caravan and the trailer being pulled, our maximum speed was 60mph which meant it took 15 hours to reach our destination, but everyone was in good humour.

When we arrived we were greeted with good old Scottish weather -rain and wind! Some of the college group were staying in one bed and breakfast, with myself and Andy joining Blind Dave and his team in their B&B. Once we got our lot all checked and and had take directions from the receptionist, we made the way to the B&B we were staying in...we were greeted warmly there and shown to our rooms for a much needed nights sleep.

I'll update on our first day tomorrow.
