My Cycle tour (Bristol to Scotland) can I stay at yours?
Re: My Cycle tour (Bristol to Scotland) can I stay at yours?
Andy stayed with our parents in Northampton as planned. Mum was having a dinner party type thing so he was guest of honour! He's been doing well by all accounts, getting to places on schedule, getting slightly damp but spirits still high. Last I heard he was a few miles south of Newark nr Notthm with a backpack full of leftover food.

Thank heaven he's not on the West coast - we have wheelie bins swirling in the street like fallen leaves - you can hardly stand never mind cycle.

Great to hear he's ok - it's really getting bad now! And the bad weather seems to be coming faster than initially though... Snow showers on Monday.

He's due here on Monday - but he did say that if he had a good tail wind he could arrive on Sunday - hmmmm be careful what you wish for! With winds like these he could be here any minute! lol

Re: My Cycle tour (Bristol to Scotland) can I stay at yours?
I rang him about 20 mins ago - he's in Whitley Bay and on his way here. We reckon that he'll be here about 8pm-ish. He sounds good tho!

Do I guess that he's staying with you next then Shirlz? If so - what sort of size is your boy?

Re: My Cycle tour (Bristol to Scotland) can I stay at yours?
You are lucky to be last - we were last on the Wombats trip and they stayed longer!
The thing is I knitted a hat and I was planning to send it with Andy to the next person with a wee one - and I thought of you - but I have a feeling it may be a bit small I thought your boy was about 3-4. I'd me most happy to send it anyway and you could pass it on if it doesn't fit.
Maybe my kids just have big heads!

Re: My Cycle tour (Bristol to Scotland) can I stay at yours?
As much as I'd love to say YES, J has a rather large head and so it likely won't fit. I'm sure we could find someone that it would fit though as there are a fair few wee ones up here, or perhaps at Andy's next stop.
Has he arrived yet????? Don't forget to take photos of you all - not in pjs LOL!!!
