As I write this (says Dad) James is now in Scotland and has cycled over 500 miles. We're keeping track of his progress at home as you can see by the photo here.
I drove to Longtown yesterday to meet him - 3 miles short of the border - and treated him to one night in a B&B, with a real bed.
He seems in good spirits and is incredibly well organised; he spent almost an hour servicing his bike for the second half of the journey.
We ate in the Graham Arms last night, chatted, watched some TV, and slept well. Cooked breakfast (full English) today and James was off, later than usual, by 7:45am. Next time we meet will be the night before he finishes - we're going on ahead then to cheer him at the Finish line!
