This photo was taken on the way back, after we realised we weren't going to make it. We must been going 10 or 12 hours, and the hardest thing was knowing how many hours of riding we still had ahead of us, and that it was going to be dark well before we finished. Oh, and it was the hottest day of the year and all those sandwiches and Lucozade weighed a LOT. Happy days!

I should add that those peanut butter and jam sandwiches kept us alive - if Scott had had them in 1912 then he would surely have made it back to England. Food of heroes!
