Paul's mower fixed!

Paul's mower's fixed, thanks to the boys at W Thomson Saw Service, who are based in Forres, for coming over and helping, collecting and sorting out parts! You've been a big help (: Time for showers now then off to bed for another 6am start tomorrow when we go down to Northumberland!

48mph has been reached coming into Nairn, fastest speed recorded yet, but it's all downhill from tomorrow!

Loch Ness Hides!

Didn't see the Loch Ness Monster, he probably heard the sound of the Briggs&Stratton Engines and hid from us!

Lake Lomond

Good progress being made now! Lake Lomond to our right and the road ahead of us!

Realise the effort!

All 3 Drivers are okay! Paul has a bruised knee which was incurred by the axle failure and him tipping the mower over earlier. Paul's currently sat in the support Van with TVKev and Mike Breakwell and are all happy!

Fuel stop

Thanks to the local council for their support! Just fueled in Largs and assessed damaged on Paul's mower, it's just the axle that has broke and we should be able to fix it later! Heading to Glasgow now!
