Jack is king of the mountains!

This was always going to be the hardest day of the trip and the weather forecast was atrocious. Because of the excellent progress Jack is making, the decision to ditch the back up van in Inverness was made. Jack set off at a good pace, averaging 11.7 mph and we reached Inverness at 12 noon, only for the rain to start. Jack is really taking to the hills and is now nicknamed Pantani Carruthers as he burnt off a couple of the team. We arrived at Schlod Manor Lodge at 5pm soaked to the skin, having climbed 1300ft. Jack has great powers of recovery, having been 'out on his feet' 30 minutes earlier. After his normal hot chocolate and cake, he finished the day having completed 54 miles and has now done well over 200 miles. You can sponsor Jack at his justgiving page at www.justgiving.com/geordiejack Tomorrow is a rest day - only 30 miles and all downhill to Newtonmore.
