n Phil’s words “Day one Done”.
A cold night in the tent and on the road by 7am (or 0700 hours as he says, he sometimes forgets he’s no longer in the army!). Found a buddy to cycle with as you can see, who rather strangely has (the keen eyed amongst you may notice) a broom handle tied to his bike. The story goes that he had to move his bike whilst on the train and put his tent poles on the floor, where he promptly forgot them and which is where they presumably remain heading back from Wick to Inverness. So after spending a night in a tent without poles with it resting on his face, the enterprising chap bought a broom handle. What is it Phil always says? “improvise, adapt and overcome”.
So he’s safely arrived at Tongue now, a slow but steady 65 miles in the bag. Tomorrow he’s heading south to Alness, another 65 miles.
