As some of you may know Quentin has embarked on a bike ride across Britain - starting at John O' Groats this morning and finishing (we hope!) at Lands End on Sunday 20th June – some 1000 odd miles and 72k foot of climb - a desperate attempt to lose weight, fight off old age and calm down his mid life crisis (and possibly avoid the start of the world cup, not to mention childcare!)

Needless to say any money he can raise in the process is a benefit so begging cap in hand...
He is a Trustee of a charity called Access Sport (www.accesssport.co.uk) which helps take kids off the streets through funding community sports clubs so that is one cause we'd like you to help and the other is a charity called Woodland Trust (www.woodlandtrust.org.uk ) which he has selected to remember 2 very good friends of ours who died last year, before their time, and thought it would be nice to have some permanent reminders of their lives out there in the countryside.
So the choice is yours, either are great causes and you can get some sense of perverse pleasure thinking about the damage to his backside that the whole event is going to cause...

Thanks a lot for your support.

End of Day 2 - Fort Williams



Average rain fall in Fort WIlliams = ALOT and lots of it seemed to fall today. Boys climbed 8500 ft and cycled for 7 1/2 hours and arrived to flooded tent - spoke to Quentin post 3 pints at end of the day and he sounded like a two year old! Rain was a constant but they did spot Nessie! Forecast for tomorrow is 16 degrees by the time they reach Glasgow - Algy and Q promising to wear mankinis to celebrate.

    I trust the camera is sufficiently rain damaged to preclude finding mankini pics here tomorrow.

    Please? :)
