We woke up in our little studio Airbnb and had finally slept SO well after yesterday’s cycle! However we did wake up feeling a bit sore! We got up, got ready, had some breakfast and were about to head out for an early start for the big day ahead, when it started tipping it down…

Beth woke up very early not being able to sleep again – I’m sure the nerves will settle after a few days once we’ve got into the swing of it! Had a cuppa in bed and then we got ready for park run. We cycled just 5 minutes down the road to where park run…

We were awake long before the alarms – not much sleep had been had by either of us probably due to a mixture of nerves/excitement and anticipation for the challenge/adventure ahead! We had packed most of our stuff the night before as we were both working from home for the morning. At 11:45am we locked…

We quickly got ready and met at the meeting area…

Monday 4th SeptemberWe were all packed up and ready to go… Our taxi arrived at 3:15pm – it was finally happening! We got driven to the airport with plenty of time to spare, as we had already checked in. We (well, dad) had managed to secure firm business class seats which Harry was very excited…

Thursday 20th JulyDressed in my wifey jumper, we got on the road at about 8:45am to head for The Tawny Hotel in Stoke-on-Trent. With a cuppa and toilet stop, the drive took us just under 4 hours in total. During the journey we reminisced about memories from the wedding, wishing we could do it all…
