From Marijke Mulder, Holland, mother of Erik Nauta, I mailed yesterday but I made a mistake. I meant to say that the trip could not be a 'kat in de zak'. Because we all have much confidence in the team to make this route completely a great success. Thanks. Love from Erik's family.Marijke Mulder

Subject: Erik's family in Holland wishes the team good luck

 Mother, Timme and Astrid and Geert wish the team all the best in Scotland. If things go as well as they did biking through England then it's a"kat in de zak". Erik will explain this expression. I'am sure he can. We are very proud. Love from Holland. Marijke, Tjark, Timme, Astrid and Geert.

Many thanks indeed. I will pass on the message. I suppose the expression is similar to ‘cat in the bag’ in English.
Kind regards,
Guru

 I was just wondering if all the team, as they seem to be close friends or related to Gavin, also had "insane bottoms?"  Frightening thought!!!

 Good Luck team! We are with you all the way.

 John -

Congratulations on passing the half way mark.  Hope that the only problems have been with mechanical bits of your bike, and not with you!  (At least you should not encounter rabbit holes.)  Golf will seem such a doddle after this. Anyway best of luck for the rest of the trip.

Keith.

Hello Gavin,
I am watching your progress.
Do hope you can still stand at night.
Lovely to see you.
I laughed to see that the UN in Afghanistan can surf the net.

love Christine and James

Hello, I am trying to track the progress of John Shipley, he told me from Tuesday I would be able to do so, is it being updated and if so what am I doing wrong.

Thanks for your help

John - Hope you have had a good start.  I see you are at Dunsford tonight - we lived just outside the village - so hope that you are still have enough energy left to admire the countryside.  Anyway good luck, and as they say, "allez!".

Keith.
