Well, as they say in Glesga, the game's a bogey!

2008 simply didn't happen in the RTB world. Jim was crazy busy infecting newbies with the biker bug, I seemed to have a wedding, barmiztvah or 40th party to go each weekend and with 2 business and several 4x4 competitions to run the was no time.  We are committed to some stupidity next year though so roll on 2009!

So to the many and variable plans:

We could do RTB Day1 and then in reverse or the run up to Thurso and back (the most interesting parts of the run) or resurrect last year's Jog Le Jog.

Leaving Glasgow at 5am we would get to John O'Groats by about 10.30am for a quick photo then on to our overnight stop near Land's End at 10pm or so.  Leaving as early the next morning we'd get to Land's End about 7.30am, to John O'Groats again at 10pm then home for 3.30am.
