The final Day

I am tired, I am grumpy and I really should be in bed, and I really should not take it out on sarah...sorry.
However on the positive side it is all over I have completed my challenge, the final 59 miles is over. A fairly tough day into a strong headwind all the way. the scenery was still as desolate as yesterday but the weather was great, so great I have managed to get a little sun burnt (even through the gaps in my helmet).
The scenery took on a new light in the better weather and it was easier to see its beauty knowing I had the last miles to do and that it was not grey and over cast. The towns are very strange up here none more so than Wick which appears to be slumping slowly into oblivion, shop and amenity wise but is still putting on a great show of flowers and park areas!!!!!
a sandwich was enough in Wick to keep me going and I then enjoyed overtaking three cyclists on the way to the same destination before arriving at the promised land. HMMMMMMMMMMM not sure about John O'Groats, not really sure where the end was, had to go round a roundabout three times till I really believed I was there, but there I was (Parents arrived a little later) and it really began to sink in when another wonderful human being asked who I was doing it for and donated £5!!!!! BRILLIANT!!! We are now well over the £1000 mark.
After the jubilation of the arrival in John O'Groats and the finding of my parents we settled down in the first Costa Coffee in the land!!!!! Drank bought the t-shirt and set off back to Inverness for the night.
A brilliant experience, one of which I could not have done with out my support teams of Pat, Ron and the wonderful Sarah t first and then followed by Mum and Dad. All of which put up with tired Jonny, early nights, buying sandwiches and drinks at the drop of a hat, waving me on and replacing gel seats. They have been awesome - Thankyou!!
And thank you to you blogg readers, it has been amazing reading your comments and knowing that you are there all the way.
