About a year ago one of my best friends, James, said to me "do you want to do John o ' groats to Lands End next year?". "Hell yerr!" I said. My bike was promptly stolen a month later.
One new bike* and a year later I'm about to get the Caledonian Sleeper up to the Highlands to start my epic journey.
I could have taken a flight to Inverness and the bike would have been free but given the infamy of the sleeper I couldn't miss the chance to take it.
This will be 5th sleeper train that I can remember, Paris->Alpes X2, Vienna-> Alpes and Mumbai-> Goa. Tomorrow I'll give you the lowdown on the Lounge car, a visual of the vistas and a breakdown of the berth.
I'll try to keep you all updated with my progress. You can see the route we are taking here: https://maps.google.co.uk/maps/ms?msa=0&msid=209464424801268377147.0004fe4bc4e9022038fd8
* Thanks to Ellie and Jon for selling me a few of their bikes.
