Lands End "John O'Groats here we come"


Day 1 "The start of our 10 day journey"


We all arrived about dusk with the last thing on our minds was not looking forward to put our tents up in a field of a small farm, but just our luck we were being upgraded to luxury caravans things were starting to look up and for a £20 fee for the night with dinner and breakfast included there was little complaint's all though a sausage for breakfast wouldn't of gone a miss. With every one fueled up and ready to go we set off to the start point.

"Will we even get there"


Well its day one and its all go for our very own big bike ride, setting off for Liverpool Tac HQ you would always like things to run smoothly but unfortunately for us this wasn't as simple as we would like. With one of the Combi vans refusing to open its rear doors and with most of the food needed for the 10 days ride inside, things just didn't look good. We tried the fob key, we tried driving it, we tried everything we could think of and with everyone giving there own input and ideas to try and open it the only thought was is this the start of things to come? Anyway a long story cut short and with no help from the RAC at all we sent the Combi van back to the dealers were with a wave of the magic spanner and by only pressing the same fob key that we had been trying for so long it worked. Well at least we were now ready to head to our start point at Lands End a nice 8 hour drive to look forward to (oh the fun)..
