The Journey Begins - Sort Of....

So we reckon we have started, as we've done 12 miles - which is 1% of the distance, though we've eaten 10% of the food! We all made it to Euston, ready to get on the sleeper to Inverness. We met up at Chutney Restaurant on Drummond Street, and shared a fantastic meal with Jeremy's wife, brother and sister-in-law. The omens are favourable, John C found us by accident as he spotted the other 2 bikes sitting outside the restaurant whilst taking a back-road for a cycle-friendly route to the station.

Now we just need to get on the train. We've already got the bikes settled in. Should be easier than when we came back from Venice on the sleeper and John C had to sleep with his bike (literally, it was in his bunk)! John H is really excited to have his first "proper" sleeper journey, as he's never been on a UK sleeper, or had the luxury of a 2 birth cabin.
