The trip was only marginally stressful, bikes were safely retrieved and loaded into the hire car straightforward enough (thx Kev for your great help in Oz !) Stress levels peaked though when we were lost staight after coming out of Heathrow and even more when I took over the driving and decided to crunch some gears on the way Sth to Devon - been while since I've driven a manual!
Its great to be with the family they are wonderfully supportive of my effort although I'm sure the word looney snuck into conversation a few times. For me I'm rapt to be able to start the journey and help as best as I can Belinda & Anne back in Oz while also raising awareness of Parkinsons to aid research both in Oz & the UK.
Have had a couple of warm up rides around town the weather is mild although with a biting wind - am a bit wary as it snowed in Scotland only last week !
Thx for support both motivational and pledges as goes to great causes. I look forward to sharing my journey with you.
