Sept 25, 06:56: Just wanted to post a quick update before we start The Last Day. It's weird, it's come around so quickly I can hardly believe this is the final day and tomorrow there'll be no cycling.
Today's route continues along the A9, pretty much all the way to the end. I'm a bit scared by it, if I'm honest (and I do try to be), because Mark's been banging on about a massive hill on the way near Berriedale. The hill itself doesn't scare me; what does is the possibility of it defeating me when I haven't walked a single part of this route so far. It would be hideous to have to walk a hill on the last day...
Actually I don't think it'll come to that, even if it is steeper than Shap (but mercifully shorter). Everyones fitness has improved so much over the last 12 days that I can't imagine anyone failing to cycle up it. I'm equally sure we'll all be running on pure adrenaline and will have a tail wind so I reckon that'll be enough!
Time for breakfast now - we aim to be away by 08:30 so that we arrive at The End nice & early for photos etc., before the 2-hour drive back to Inverness where we're staying tonight. At least that'll give me time to blog...
