  1. All made it to fort William via Glasgow for spares for the splitty

  6. So left John o groats and we have met some people that I will call freinds for a long time we have battled through the storm and 3 of us ended up just outside Inverness!!
    But just to reflect on this journey which we have another week off around Scotland we have been stuck in ditches repaired engines in fields had fuel leaks and could gone down but the late bay guys fixed the lot between us the splitty was the challenge but there on there way back now still trucking !! Iv been down on John o groats beech today and I honestly had a little cry it's been so emotional leading these guys but I got em all there and we r now officially end to Enders now to have a family holiday here's some pics ect I never posted few videos also !! I will try keep up with our journey!!
    Massive thanks to @minirob and @nigelcp
