Today they arrive with much trepidation at the start point, John O’ Groats at the most northerly tip of the UK. Hear the latest as they prepare themselves for the mental and physical challenge of the next 10 days from their rather quaint Scottish guest house.

On this first episode, deep into final preparations and no doubt with one eye on the weather episode Matt Green tells us more about the challenge, how it came about and how preparations are going.

We’ll be following Matt and Wills progress here on the podcast along the length of the route with the boys roadside audio diary. Each day they will update us on their progress via telephone.
