Smith's End to End 2006

Follow the progress of Allan & John Smith, as they attempt the epic UK cycle ride, from Land's End in the far south west of England to John O Groats in the far north east of Scotland. Will we be able to cover almost 1000 miles in 3 weeks?

Thank you's

Although we did this trip without a support vehicle/team there are, of course, numerous people to thank for assisting us in this project.
Firstly we would like to thank Mr & Mrs Kirk of The Cairns Hotel, Carrbridge. For their outstanding generosity and hospitality. One could not wish for better hosts or such sumptuous accommodation. Also all the staff at the SYHA and YHA, especially the volunteers. The many hostels we visited on this trip were excellent. Also all the other landladies and landlords that gave us beds to rest our weary heads, good advice on where to eat in the evening, and big breakfasts to get us going in the morning. In particular I would like to thank the landlady at Roselands B&B, Exeter, for allowing me to use her PC to update this blog, and the landlady at Cypress Rise B&B, Llandogo for driving us to the pub at the end of an exhausting day. Also I would like to thank everyone who has generously donated to our charities and shown support for us in the comments on this blog.
Finally I would give my heartfelt thanks to my wife Sian, and daughter Cerys for allowing me to go on such a hare brained trip and giving me such a lovely welcome on my return home.
