Well Ben has certainly been busy over the last week, skating like a mad thing generally by the looks of it. He’s managed to make it across the English border to a pub in the Kendal area, where a mere quarter of a pint of celebrationary bitter with comrade and support driver Tom has left him quite merry. From...
Looks like the police weren’t to happy with Ben being alone on the notorious A9 (those of you who have driven on it know it well!) so he had to take a detour today. 40 miles skating and 10 miles walking for a 25 mile gain. He’s resting up in a B&B in Inverness as we speak and is...
