May 21st - back in Kendal after the longest training day so far.
Guess who is the fit one (If you need a clue, Martin is on the right).

| June 4th, Lancaster, with Mr Morgan, Ian's bowel surgeon |
Two hours later and after Cornish pasties, we're ready to set off from Land's End
Almost too fast for the camera, at the end of the Camel Trail in Bodmin
At the Clifton Suspension Bridge, Bristol and it's been a long day
Gazing into the distance, to Hay-on-Wye and beyond
A village store with a traditional look - Bucknell, South Shropshire
Looking out over Shropshire after descending from Stiperstones
The village shop, Knockin, North Shropshire
Morrisons, Todmorden, after expert treatment
Sue's Sandwich Bar, Padiham - one of many great cafes where we ate - good food (in Ian's case a superb jacket potato with chilli) and a very friendly welcome
Always pleased to take advice
Our first lunch stop in Scotland and two donations, including from the owner, pictured here
With Professor Garden at Edinburgh's Royal Infirmary on June 27th. The following week he received his CBE from the Queen at the Palace of Holyroodhouse
For the avoidance of doubt, that's v for victory
The Sustrans cycle route tracking the A9
Trains/Bikes/Trucks - Drumochter Pass on the A9
And when we got to Drumochter Summit, the sun was back with us
Approaching Boat of Garten - why not 22?
On the bridge over the River Spey, just before Boat of Garten - glorious
The penultimate morning, about to leave the Glendoune B&B. You wouldn't think Martin had broken his toe the night before (then again, he wasn't aware he had!)
On our way from Inverness to Golspie and another notable café: Sutor Creek, Cromarty, next to the Nigg Ferry. Great Eccles cakes!
The last day and Martin still not aware he had a broken toe (and feeling smug about his bamboos socks)
The finish at last - apart from Roz and Harry holding the banner and Martin Benson taking the photo, you wouldn't believe the crowds behind the camera
Still savouring the moment
