Today; in the style of a news reader:

Dah dah dah, dah dah!

When walking into a post office this morning to post some unwanted drink supplies back home, the songs heard were 'Road to Hell' by Chris Rea and 'It's raining, it's pooring' by unknown. This left the duo with a grim outlook on the day ahead.

Dah dah dah, dah dah!

Physically the first half of the 75 mile journey today was hard going for Pinhead. The suspect right knee has worsened and any pressure applied was starting to show. An application of deep heat helped the situation but concerns are growing for tomorrows big climb.

Dah dah dah, dah dah!

A proper lunch was enjoyed today rather than the usual pitstop at Benderlock. Soup was leek and potatoe, followed by tea and a sticky pecan slice. So good that a second was purchased for the road ahead. Certainly put a spring in Pinhead's step.

Dah dah dah, dah dah!

After around 2/3 of the journey covered, Pinhead was joined by a hover fly on the cross bar. Named 'squishy' he road with the duo for around 6 miles. The added weight however was extra pressure on Pinhead's knees.

Dah dah dah, dah dah!

Drivers in Scotland are being advised to slow down after a near miss on the  A82 where a cyclist narrowly escaped being hit by a blissfully unaware coach driver. FH & PH are looking for this man and will rip his !#*!ing head off if they catch up with him.

Dah dah dah, dah dah!

A new road survey has been released today that shows Scotish roads are the bumpiest in Britain. One stretch of the A85 is so bad, a cyclist from Hoddesdon, Herts has already booked in for dental treatment and limb replacements even before returning from his trip. When asked what he through of the roads currently he replied 'Beep! Beep! Beep!' (sensored)

Dah dah dah, dah dah!

And finally, the weather today! After days of hellish conditions, the wind remained at a more gental pace. The sun shone through and gradually warmed up mid Scotland which later pushed through to the Highlands. This coincided with the arrival of Fathead & Pinhead who were on there LEJOG challenge. They are tonight in Fort William.

Think I'm going mad out here...
