Just letting everyone know that the guys were off from Edinburgh Castle at 8am this morning, and they are hoping to be in Dover tonight. All going smoothly, they will be camping overnight in Durness on Thurs and riding through Caithness on Fri (with a short stop in JOG to celebrate turning the fourth 'corner' ).
Once again, the organisers, and the charities they and their companions are riding for are: Jim Mitchell (from near Linlithgow) riding for UNICEF, Sean Jones (from the W. Midlands) riding for CHAS - the Childrens Hospice Assn. Scotland, and Ian Mitchell (from near Motherwell) riding for the Cancer Research Assn. In a bit of very good news, Ian had his final checkup last week and was given the all-clear, so he is officially cancer free...and likely riding on air this morning knowing that!
Anyway, if anyone happens to spot the guys this week...I know there are Orgers all over the country...give them a wave! Also messages of support would be most welcome (links and email addresses are above), as would any contributions or sponsorship, should anybody wish to send them.
Ride easy and safe, Sean, Jim, Ian, and Co...its a great effort you're making. Be sure to have a wonderful time along the way, as well!
