The trip starts

Hi folks, sorry I never got posting done last night, our wee trip has been struck by a series of problems, but we have battle through and we are still here to tell the story.

First of all Tom and Alan met in good time at Ardrossan ferry terminal, 9am Sept 11th. We dont know if the sun rose that day, the clouds were thick and the wind was strong. The wind turbines in Ardrossan were spinning like cartwheels, not a good sign but I suppose lights will be burning brightly in Ardrossan cheaply for a few days.
