So had a lift from Shaun Mccarthy – Devons only professional Irish decorater! A believer and friend connected to the prayer room.
He dropped me off in Bristol with other friends. (Jack and Bx Saunders) they kindly put me up for the night. Then 5am up. 5.30am Uber to Bristol Airport. Great chat with the driver about family and God’s provision. Checked bike and 1 pannier and then took my other pannier as carry on luggage. Everything arrived in Inverness with no damage. (Thanks for praying) I rebuilt my bike next to the baggage carrousel and then headed to the station.
Met an older chap reading about witchcraft in Wales (interesting conversation as he was searching!!)
Train to Inverness from airport then swappef to the northern line for a four hour train to Thurso. Met Paul Tollett (formerly from North Devon) he had collected me on the end of my last ride and very carefully looked after my unused camping gas. We met for 20 seconds on the platform and he gave me my gas back and supirsed me with some provisions.
Onward North.. I have paired down my gear as light as is safe next to remind my legs what we are here for! Jim
