The Sunday After..

..A night out starting at a nice steak restaurant with the boys and Hamish's Dad David, who met us at the finish line with some Champagne. This was followed by a few drinks in bars in the nearest town - Thurso, culiminating in some rather amusing dancing whilst under the influence of Vodka and Redbull and various dodgey shots.

Following morning we were all quite hungover. Fortunately David had hired a van to take us down to Inverness with the bikes which we boxed up the previous day ready for transportation.

Hamish and Matt jammily managed to get an earlier flight than scheduled leaving poor old me to 'rot' in Inverness airport, feeling sore and suffering from the previous night.

It wasn't until later that night that I was in the bosom of my family, enjoying a very warm welcome with some friends and taking a first look at the pictures from the big camera.

Many thanks to David. We really felt you were part of the team.

Cheers!
