Region 8 Thursday 7th handover to region 9

Just had news that region 9 left about 15 mins ago

This is the Fort William to Inverness leg


The handover was a bit late because of a deer strike in the middle of the night that Amy had. :eek:

Everyone is OK and nobody came off which is all that matters :)

From what i've been told Amy struck the deer and then Grahame struck it killing it outright....

Two very lucky people by all accounts... we will have to wait till someone gets to there PC for a full account of the incident

Region 9 Thursday 7th update

Just spoke to Gordon who says Tash is doing really well.

There are now 8 riders in the group and the weather and conditions are perfect.

Having completed 145 miles there's approximately 260 miles to go so, everything is going to plan.

:clap :clap :clap
 
Region 9 Thursday 7th update

The latest update from Gordon.

Tash and the team are now 271 miles into the run. They have just completed a 44 mile single track section and are nearing the most Northerly point of their journey, and indeed the whole challenge.

So with 135 miles to go.... it's all downhill from now on :)

Just had a call from Grizzly there about 2 hrs behind should be at Berwick for 8.45 am
Scotch
....the team were in good spirits despite the very cold temperatures encountered through the night.

Enabb (Ian) called about 20 minutes ago to say Bluebell and the team are now on their way.

With this being the penultimate region and a little over 72 hours into the event, it looks like the 18:00 finish time tonight is still possible.

Well done girls.

:clap :clap :clap
 
Region 11 Friday 8th update

Txt from Ian (Enabb)

"70 miles to go, just stopped for a coffee on our way in 5 minutes"

Lucy received a txt from Sue (Room 101) region 12 rider earlier who said they were going for a paddle in the sea..... let's hope they're ready for the hand over and don't get caught with 'their pants down' :D:D

:clap :clap :clap
 
Region 11 Friday 8th handover to region 12

Just had a call from Kev to say 11 has arrived and 12 is going to set off in 10 mins :thumb

A bit behind but they hope to make up time :thumb

I've just received a call from Room 101 (Sue) apparently they're making really good progress and estimate their time of arrival at Kings Lynn for approx. 1800 hrs tonight.

They've managed to make up the 2 hours lost earlier, they're just having a 10 minute tea/coffee break .... then off again.



:clap this is getting exciting ..... :bounce1


ps: sorry Tuned-In I jumped in before you could get here. :)
 
They made it....Region 12 finished

Kev just phoned to say they're at Kings Lynn :clap :clap


sorry about the pic quality... it's Kev's new phone... he hasn't it set right yet :D
