Well,that was a week.

An epic adventure with some great people.

Incredibly emotional to see so many people turn out to see us on the roads. From early morning to the finishes each day.
So many beautiful messages from people affected by mental health issues, so many people have shared their troubles as we drove.
We have met and seen the very best of people, travelled through the most beautiful scenery and have enjoyed every moment (apart from the light incident)


Farmers, you should be proud. The effort taken by so many to line up tractors in fields,on bridges and verges was truly a sight to behold.
Great support, great charities.

We are very lucky to have been able to represent you.

and credit and the same praise to every which one of them each not the least less important that the subject of this thread, infact more so if we are honest as a particular person riding a bike the distance is actually far harder/not in the same league in all honesty and fairness but as you say get far less notice taken of them.
Exactly, I think it's in one of Olly's videos when they're half a mile from the finish they pass a woman running and Olly says there's the woman who set off at the same time as us and we're going to beat her in the last half a mile, who knows who that woman was and what charity she was raising money for?

Think that was a joke, running 800 miles in 4 days would be very impressive!!

You make good point @Fendt516profi (y)
....but others opinions might say that a lot of glossy bluster is not necessarily the same as quietly doing/ learning about something just as flash in a pan sensational who ha doesn't necessarily really help long term because people will be interested in the subject /learn/talk about if they want too or are forced to by circumstance i guess, otherwise ...its business as usual ,blissful?? ignorance it could be said ,although that's possibly a bit negative way of putting it. ;)

Well done @agricontract fantastic job great cause.I really like your blog on YouTube.I personally think you do the ag industry a lot of good.Also getting people to talk about mental health and look out for each other.Its a shame that there are so much negative feedback, keep moving forward regardless.

A very well done to you all, and you made it look so easy, right at the start you were all aboard and gone in a couple of minutes. Great TV and media coverage and glad the tracs stood up to close to 1000miles.

With luck it may have helped a few to come to terms with their feelings and seek help.

Again a brilliant concept carried out to perfection.
