I was so incenced by the edit, that I didn't read the rest of the thread. Thanks. I will use that.

The PH rules are you can't post asking for sponsorship (or an advert for your own car etc), which is fair enough.

We did it!!!

Arrived yesterday morning at about half past 11 then from there we went onto a place called padstow for the night.

What an amazing adventure it has been!

Thank you to everyone that has supported us and sponsors us.

Once I get sorted out I will put some photos on from the trip for you all to see.


Thanks again

John

Nutters!

In the end, did you have to do a lot of pedaling? Breakdowns? Did you keep a journal? (love that kind of stuff)

No Im afraid thats long gone, I cant even remember where or who I sold the bike to now. And probably had nearly 200 motorcycles pass through my hands since then, but I will keep an eye out though.

Well done to you all as someone who has done Lands End to John O'Groats on a PC50 and sidecar I can appreciate what you have achieved, why don't you do Lands End to John O'Groats next ? I want to do John O'Groats to Lands End sometime in the future.
It might be worth you joining the National Autocycle & Cyclemotor Club www.thebuzzingclub.uk we try to do a long run every other year, previously we have done: Lowestoft to St Davids, and Lands End to Lowestoft this year in a few weeks time some members are riding from Great Yarmouth to Barmouth in Wales then back again !
Take a look at the recent runs bit on the website to see what we do ...

Apologies for the thread hijack but do you have a link to this Yarmouth to Barmouth run? Can't seem to find it on the NACC site.

Yes sorry about that, the NACC website is currently being updated and is somewhat behind the times at the moment.
If you do Facebook check on here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/148156242034467/

or join the MACC forum and post a request on there: http://macc.mxf.yuku.com/directory#.U8TDpCxwbIV

The run is now finalised and is leaving in early August..
