so twenty years later i finally completed it , very hard but never the less not bad going and raised some moneys for cherity on the way 12days and not one punctuer, something to do with having silocone walled tyres well worth the 40 quad each, also i plannned my route every day in the evenings just before bed, stayed in b&bs range from 22- 59 a night,best buy along the way was gel seat as the seat after four days made me very saw arse, best moment was climming nevis to the sound of bag pipes, then being claped by coach of german tourist on the descent, worst moment was twisting my ankle in carlisle from near miss from a bus & three days with that and rain wind & pain to the end,agony and all on my tod.
