The best secret of all.......

I walked the whole British Isles in my longjohns.

Land's End - just a sniff from the end.

Roni's new 2,000K foot look

.

Arriving at Lands End. It's the most south westerly point of the mainland. BUT, not the end of OUR walk. We were too late for a photo with the offical sign post. They take it down each night.

Santi on the top of Mt. Snowdon

Roni and Santi on the peak of Mt. Snowdon the highest mountain in Wales. We're so lucky, this day was amazingly clear blue skies with no clouds, and very very still no winds at all. The day before had been horrendous - lashing rain with 90mph winds and -8oC at the summit.

Strolling along the canal waterways to Wales

We made it!!!!!!!

YIPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

We've done it, made it to the end. We walked under the arch at Land's End hand in hand, then onto the Isles of Scilly the next day to reach the most south westerly point of the Bristish Isles. WOOT.

Amazing experience, though hasn't sunk in yet. Will write more elated thoughts soon.

Next step? get some warmth asap. We're off to Spain this Thursday.

Roadrunners in South West England

We've crossed the Severn bridge into Bristol territory, and both of us are super keen to get south as quickly as possible. Going it alone again. Santi chose the more traditional route through the Exmore mounts then along the coastal path. I decided to go straight down the guts following the major-ish roads. Justifying to myself that I'll go back up the west coast at a tourist pace by bus to sight-see the interesting parts.

We've really pounded the tarmac doing 25 to 30miles (35 to 50km) per day. It felt fantastic to see so much distance completed at the end of each day.

Past Wales

Wales "tick". Yep we've walked the whole of wales too :) In the most glorious sunshine imaginable.

We're really on the home straight now. We're flying along following the roads just to get it over with. Feels great to be getting somewhere. I'm quite enchanted by the south.

Mission 1 Accomplished

Yeah we did it, we climbed the 3 highest peaks...
Ben Nevis in Scotland
Scafell Pike in England
Snowdon in Wales

I'm very excited we nearly didn't get Snowdon. The day we'd set for climbing was hidious 90mph winds and -8oC at the top. Santi really really wanted to go up. There was no way I was ever going to consider it. As fate would have it we waited till the next day - perfect clear blue cloudless sky with views to every horizon and not a wisp of wind. Someone specials taking care of us.
