We're back!!!

Well, we are back again after our invasion of Norway. We got in to Glasgow Prestwick late this afternoon after our flight from Oslo Torp airport. I've missed my wife a lot and so it was good to be home again and have life return to some assemblance of normality.

So much has happened over the past week and I will get round to publishing a sort of daily diary of events as and when I can. I spent most of the flight writing up notes in my notebook. I've spent a good few hours over the past week keeping it up to date. A couple of the guys think I should write a book about the experience. Who knows? Maybe that might come to fruition one day.

Anyway, as you can probably tell from the time this entry was published it is very early on Saturday morning. Before I go I wanted to thank some people:

To all the guys who shared the experience with me I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. It was one of the best experiences of my life and am sure it was for you too. We went through a lot of pain at times pushing ourselves to our limits and perhaps beyond, some more than others, but we all came through in the end. It is something I am immensely proud of completing.

Mr & Mrs Bertil Fredriksson for allowing us to stay at their beautiful holiday home.

I would also like to thank our sponsors, without whom the journey would have been more difficult:

Stena Bulk / North Marine Management / Concordia Maritime - thanks for supplying the kit we wore all throughout the trip. You have no idea how much more comfortable we were because of it. Thanks also for the donations you made as well.

Herbalife - for supplying us with supplements which helped us during cycling.

Brantas - for buying us loads of spares.

Finally, I would like to thank everyone who sponsored us through the Just Giving web site and offline as well. Your generosity is very much appreciated by one and all. To date we have raised over £7,000 which is a fantastic amount. Hopefully this will rise and we can give CHAS an excellent early Christmas present.

So, what next? Well, we've had one or two discussions about what we might do next year. No decisions yet of course but you will be first to know as and when anything is decided. Watch this space...
