Go Shaun...Go Shaun...

Terrific stuff ! Great to have a member of the DSC attempting some thing challenging . Oh! how I would love to do it. But after leading a bunch of runner a couple of time and breaking the record for the JOGLE (John O Groats Land End) I no what he's in for . Go Shaun Go All the Best 4D

[Monty]

According to my autoroute 851 miles-so that will be my guess then.

Well, he's awake, he's up, and he's on his way:

Set off at 5:45, nice sunrise. B1oody freezing.
Will give eta to J36 when he gets to Glasgow.

Late addition to previous message:
Nearly hit Deer and lots of suicidal rabbits.

Yep, that's Scotland!

[Loz]

Deer? Rabbits?
Tell BDG to beware the Jabberwocky!

[Loz]

In case that sage advice isn't enough, I have transferred a small donation to the LEtJOGCR fund.
Very best of luck, BDG!

Loz, would that be the wee small beastie with the big scary teeth?

By my estimations:
Starting out at 5:45 means Glasgow maybe around 11:45 (this would be without Warp drive)
Allow say half hour for pit stop/refresh
J36 round about 14:15-ish.
I've cut down the estimation of 6hr50 JOG to Glasgow and 2hr34 Glasgow to J36

I'll post definites when the next text arrives.
