First of all we had to travel to the start line. So with bags fully packed (well above the 15kg weight limit, who would have thought lycra could weigh so much), we set off to the Caledonian Sleeper train to Inverness and then a connecting train to Thurso and then a taxi to John O'Groats.
After an initial panic that my bag wouldn't fit through the ridiculously narrow corridors it was an uneventful night. Apparently there was a big drama and a stag do were thrown off the train in Edinburgh after stealing all of the first class morning breakfasts (so not effecting us then!!). However, Adam and I were sleeping the sleep of the just.
Safely strapped in for a night on the sleeper train.
Adam and I were really quite excited even by a train and taxi ride. The man on the left, Andre, was taking the whole event a little more seriously!!
