Cape Wrath - John o'Groats - Heading South!!

Just a quick update.

Yesterday (Monday 14th of June) the boys ticked off another major milestone - Rounding John O Groats - the northerly end of the longest distance between two points in Mainland Britain (the other point being Lands End). Needless to say Nick and Hamish are on a high to be coming down the home straight, but still very aware that there is approx 600 miles to go!

Scotland has proven to be a highlight for the guys who have been sending through some beautiful photos of the sunsets and scenery. I think the idylic surroundings may have even given them a small chance to 'escape' the reality of the daily grind and appreciate the beauty of their surroundings. Hamish continues to struggle with growing facial hair and eating the dehydtated meat, while Nick is basking in his full bearded glory. Sadly there seems to be little 'drama' to report, the guys are getting on well and focused on getting the job done - real proof of how thorough preparation makes all the difference in such a challenge.

The guys are hoping the nasty Northerly winds that have been causing them such trouble all the way up the West Coast will stick around for a few weeks longer and help speed them along now that they are heading down the East Coast.

Your support of Row for Heroes is much appreciated, keep it up - its getting the guys home!!
