I am absolutely stunned by the amount of congratulatory emails, texts and messages I have received over the past few days since finishing the End to End. People are still continuing to donate to my Just Giving Page at www.justgiving.com/hollybruford and I have now reached £5,800 which is absolutely fantastic. I wonder if I could get to £6,000?!
Thank you so much to everyone for your continuous support and generous donations that I have received all along my journey. Every hill and howling gale was worth every push of those pedals now that I have discovered just how many people have followed my journey and donated to the Royal Marsden Hospital.
Hopefully this journey will encourage more children, parents, teachers and families to get back on their bikes too.... trust me - it's a great way to get fit, healthy and have fun! I have definately had my fill of all three over the last 10 days!
Thank you again for all your support,

The last leg!
Monday 29 September 2008
Today has been the longest, hardest, wettest day so far. 8 hours of climbing mountains, torrential downpours, saturated shoes and freezing fingers! But we cycled around the whole of Loch Ness, through the highland town of Inverness and on towards Evanton - and the views were stunning all along the way. We are now resting our weary bones before the final run tomorrow. We have to make up a few miles lost along the way, which means we are going to be on the road at 6.30am with 117 miles ahead of us to John O'Groats. Tonight for dinner we are having the Scottish traditional supper of Haggis, -then tomorrow night, fingers crossed, we will be celebrating in John O'Groats! We hope you will be celebrating with us! Love Holly and Jackson. x

Today we took a detour off our route to John O'Groats and caught a ferry over to the Isle of Arran. The scenery is absolutely beautiful and Jackson and I cycled around the whole island, taking lots of photos along the way. We are now back on the ferry, heading back to the mainland where we can rejoin our route. It has added an extra day to our journey but we will be back on track tomorrow, heading towards Inverness. Tonight, we are camping in a campsite in Lochgilphead. Can you find where it is on the map?!

Update from Ayre, Scotland
102 miles today to a campsite in the sand dunes of the seaside town of Ayre in Scotland.
Today was the first day the team and I had no mechanical problems. So far, we have had 5 punctures, 1 broken pedal, 1 broken wheel and 1 broken cleat! So not much luck with the bikes, but lots of luck with the weather. Sadly our first day of rain is forecast for tomorrow, hopefully our tents will stay dry tonight!
Hope you are all ready to begin your cycle rides to school! Good luck everyone!

We're in Scotland!
Yesterday we cycled 112 miles! We rode all the way through the Lake District, it's such a beautiful part of England...But very hilly! We made it all the way to Carlisle, where I went to sleep very early as it got very cold camping under the stars! This morning we left very early and had reached the border into Scotland after just 15 miles! The sun is still shining... hope you all are pedalling with us!
Jackson & I crossing the border into Scotland! Goodbye England!
