Ace video Ian. Was great to see some places from last year

The obvious way is to reverse the top loop though..for varietys sake

Someone wants more cake don't they...

Mmm tasty .. *bleurgh*

Got word from Iona yesterday - FIRST OFF she's not scratching, just going to be back a little later than planned, hoping for this afternoon finish. Yesterday was a bit of a nightmare apparently - but otherwise, she is doing well!

Well done Alasdair, you did well! All that training paid off I see

Scratch Updates: No one!

Sadly confirming that Jonathan did not finish the whole route. He had some mechanicals then managed to get across to Ullapool and go from there. He rode with AlanG for a bit and Gary today.

So... looks like Jonathan Edwards is back in Tyndrum. As his SPOT was off I'll leave it up to Alan to check his GPS. Hopefully he went the whole way round!

Got a text from AlanG:

"In Fort A now, so two loops done and an easy bit to come. Have a cold by my legs are good!"

Got an update from Jonathan - he has not been eaten by a haggis and is doing fine.

Does anyone happen to know if Jonathan Edwards is still on the trail or not?

His SPOT hasn't worked since Loch Treig.

Johan ....He is still showing on the tracker though.

I can't/won't scratch anyone until they contact me.

Thats Phil in the image:

Scratch Update: Gunther Desmedt has quit and is rolling back on the road.

HT550 Scratch Update: Craig McGhee is out.

Sadly confirming Nik Kinloch as a scratch:

Hey Greg, Nik kinloch here. I am scratching at start of dundonnel section just after ullapool. Can hardly walk with blisters on both feet and a pulled muscle in right foot and generally exhausted.

Phil has finished. Unofficial finish time:  4 days 1hr and 43 mins

Confirmed scratch for Riccardo Alesi.

Thanks wunnspeed - you're confirmed as scratched
