Arrived in Heathrow in plenty of time to find Shaun comfortably settled in Wetherspoons watching Pompey play Liverpool in the (tinpot) Asia trophy final.
Shaun has managed to get t-shirts printed with the website details on the back, which have already attracted the attention of other passengers, who were impressed enough to agree to visit our site. Also found that our boxes were very good at creating a passage through the Heathrow crowds.
Check in was easy enough, and we spent an hour watching planes take off and land. Boarding was delayed as Shaun received commentary of Pompey’s penalty shoot out (full time score 0-0), which they eventually won 4-3, to bring home Pompey’s first silverware since 2003.
Flight to Inverness was good, no delays, and we then spent the next hour and half in the airport terminal putting together our bikes, which took longer than we had anticipated because of rob’s tyres.
You now find us in the Snow Goose, next to our travel lodge, drinking Caledonian deuchers having cycled the 7 or so miles from the airport. We have been debating whether or not to gamble on the later 10.39 train to Wick tomorrow, to have a lie in, but after speaking to the nice lady in the youth hostel we are getting our pre booked train at 7.15!!!
