  1. You only have one leg left amongst you!! That'll make tomorrow even harder work.
    Nevertheless, though I sit here with feet up and a cold one, I feel your pain. Does that mean it'll vanish tomorrow afternoon - or that I'm just an old geet?
    Great effort, make sure that Sarah - and the BBC indeed - are on hand to record the final moments. And Tim being thrown into the sea.

  4. Ah. The final countdown. Having spoke to the team, they were all feeling wheelie well, saddled with supplies for the journey, wearing the sponsor's gear but extremely tyred.

    Good luck for the last leg.
