Congratulations to brothers John and George Salmond for completing their grueling 515-mile cycle challenge on Friday, raising over £4,000 for SCAA. They set off from SCAA's base at Perth Airport, arriving at Lords Cricket Ground in London after six tough days in the saddle!

Hi all, not posting much tonight as just arrived at our digs after 111 miles today. Running on empty and another big day tomorrow. Food, shower, bed, repeat. I just keep reminding myself of why and for whom I'm doing it. @ScotAirAmb @JustGiving

Whyaye man! Day 2 check point one Whitley Bay ☑️ check point 2 Seaham ☑️ 46 miles. Battled through some really heavy liquid sunshine but we haven't melted yet. Refuelling in Seaham before we battle the last leg to Northallerton. @ScotAirAmb @Scotambservice @SalmondG

@ScotAirAmb @Scotambservice @SalmondG Day 1, checkpoint 1 Eyemouth, quick stop for coffee and scone to fuel up for second leg Eyemouth to Bamburgh. Some heavy rain showers so far, but we're not sugar cubes, we won't melt, our spirits are still high. Keep heading south 🚴‍♂️🚴‍♂️💨

@ScotAirAmb @Scotambservice @SalmondG . Day 1 complete. 97.3 miles of hard slog, wet, windy but changed to warm sunny. By end I was running on fumes, but fuelled, working on hydration in prep for a similar day tomorrow. Totally gubbed. Night night
