With 901 miles already under their belts, the four members of the LEJOG4THEBOG have just got two more days in the saddle before they reach John O’Groats.

Since the last report filed on Saturday morning as the chaps left Oban Lorne Rugby Club (with some apparently sore heads from over-rehydration the night before), a further 146 miles has been put on the clock.

Whilst the Tour de France may be grabbing the headlines, the real action has been in the central Highlands as our four riders and their support team have made their way through the lochs and glens of Scotland, with some appropriate songs in their heads to help them through the long hours in the saddle.

Having battled their demons and avoided the Loch Ness monster on Saturday, yesterday - Day 12 of the trip and the eleventh day on the road - took the team from Fort Augustus up to Dornoch, where they successfully contended with mizzle (light Scottish rain), midges and the mileage.

Today’s (Monday 3rd July) start point is very close to the famous Glen Morangie Distillery, so we can only hope that the boys remain focused on the job in hand.

The first half the leg is pretty much uphill all the way, with a long descent in the second half to their destination at Betty Hill (which is a place, not a person) on the north Scottish coast.

Donations continue to come in – a total of £1,855 has been raised so far – just £145 short of the £2k mark https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/LEJOG4THEBOG

Good spinning today chaps!
