EVERY PICTURE TELLS A STORY (AND A VIDEO EVEN MORE)
Due to an exhausting day we’re just too tired to write the usual blog. So today’s journey is told through a series of mini videos. Click on the links to hear the highlights and lowlights! Normal blog service will be resumed in Cockermouth tomorrow (wifi permitting).
THE CRUK BEATSON INSTITUTE
A highlight of our whole 3 Peaks 4 CRUK was our visit today to the Beatson Institute in Glasgow. This is a world renowned centre for cancer research.It was an absolute pleasure and privilege to meet some of the researchers and we were impressed by their commitment and enthusiasm to make a difference. Thank you Kirsteen for organising the meeting and our tour of the facilities – it motivated us to pedal on hard when the going got tough (and it did after we left you!)

Somehow we still managed to smile as we ate our dinner in sweaty cycling gear, being too tired to change

PATRICK’S TRIVIA – MOFFAT
Wow, it doesn’t get much tougher than that!! You’re doing so well to cope with everything that this challenge is throwing at you. Good luck ttomorrow and most importantly, stay safe. Love to you both xxx
Thanks Jo. We’ve had some grim weather but keeping safe and peddling on! X
Blimey, having watched the videos – brilliant idea- our hearts go out to both of you and we only wish we could air shot some of our energy to you. we are going to be with you every step of the way, hope the journey on Wednesday is more enjoyable.
Thanks, Jock. Your support is hugely appreciated.
Oh what a day. You are absolute heroes.
Can I recommend Altura cycling jackets? – they look stronger than what u have but they are a breathable fabric Halfords stock them in gents and ladies. If only u had passed Edinburgh we have some u could have borrowed. Perhaps there is a Halfords in Carlisle..
I have been learning violin and my teacher said I need performance practice. So yesterday I tried to make u a video of me playing Bonnie Banks of Loch Lomond. All attempts awful and phone now refuses to take anymore videos! I think I could only fundraise that way if the donation were to ask me to stop! Anyways you were on my mind all day folks. Hope the sun shines today. XX
Thanks, Sue. We do indeed have such jackets – you’ll see them in today’s blog!
Wow! What a day! I love the centre of Glasgow, but cant imagine trying to cycle there. Also the drive from Glasgow to the Borders is a brute and totally bleak in a car…… I’m in awe of you both. Well done – keep going!! xxx
