Wot? No toothbrush?

Seriously though. I'm not surprised that you guys are feeling a bit nervous, I know I would be.

Some adventure though, and in a good cause too.

Re: 2 weeks tomorrow...

I think my brain has started to get my body conditioned to this - last couple of nights , I've been awake at 3:00am. It's braw !! we'll be packing our bikes to leave JOG in daylight if it's a cloudless night. I love this time of year in West of Scotland !!!! Nowhere on earth does a sunset like Scotland in June/July - if you can stay awake long enough to see it !!!!!!

My erse has been in training too - cycling to work 3 days (100 miles) a week for the last 6 weeks or so (since I chucked the Ambulance job, and can leave for work as early as I like now).

Life is good playmates. You all stay safe , let's have no "oh ****" stories before we go .

Just read this post back to myself - what a load of rambling old pish . But I'm not going to change it
