Hi Everyone
I made it! In one piece!
I left Derby at 6:50 after changing a tyre which had gone flat overnight (not a good start).
It was a nice day sunny with no wind, got pretty hot in the afternoon though. Managed to maintain a decent average speed of about 16mph but had to take more breaks later in the day as my legs were getting weaker.
Arrived at my parents house in Bookham at 20:50, 14 hours after leaving Derby and after having travelled 155 miles due to some wrong turns in Milton Keynes! Legs are still aching a bit now. I opted to drive back home, a lot easier!
Thanks to everyone who donated and to Jess for bringing me food in the afternoon!
Tom
