We made it. After 21
½ days on the road, we are safely home. It feels good.

After a couple of hours I reached Hastoe's development in Lower Beeding. [In that charming Sussex way, it is far to the north of Upper Beeding.] Then on to Wivelsfield Green and then to The Willows at Barcombe, our final destination. Yes, I did say
us, together. I had called in at home to get some lunch before pushing on to our last stop and found Harry, arm in a sling, all set to ride with me at the end. A splendid welcome party met us at The Willows including Martin Craddock who replaced me as deputy chairman of Hastoe. Alison made cakes and provided tea. Helen and Leila from Hastoe were there too. They have been such an encouragement to us. And Ida, the person who got Hastoe involved with Ruhanga and
Let Them Help Themselves - she came too
.

Tomorrow I aim to tot up the mileage for those who have kindly sponsored us by the mile. And tot up the schemes we have visited for those who have sponsored us by the scheme. and perhaps write some reflections on our journey.
A million thanks to all of you our sponsors and our supporters. You have spurred us on every mile.

Good work - especially Mum. And great beard - especially Dad.
