Firstly thank you to everyone for your messages, I will reply individually over the next couple of days. We arrived at Gas Street Basin to be greeted by both BBC Midlands and ITV Central who will both run the story tomorrow. I had a couple of pints with my brother, so please forgive the lateness of this post. We are noth tired but pleased with ourselves, we have met some wonderful people along the way.
