I did it with Geoff Roe in his Special, taking 22 hours 7 minutes. Glad we did it, but not again - too dangerous nowadays.
The wind at the top of Scotland was so strong we passed cyclists pushing their bikes downhill. Sideways snow at Aviemore. The rest of the journey was quite boring. Reaching Cornwall, being tired and perhaps dropping off, we found ourselves veering off the road. One of us to the left, the other to the right. We decided it reflected each of our political leanings!
Following the run we were put up by a friend of mine who had just bought a tumbledown cottage in the wilds of Cornwall and being instructed not to walk on certain parts of the bedroom floor as we might find ourselves in the room below!
