Our sleeper train arrived at London Euston at 07:47, by which time we were ready to retrieve the bikes from the guard's van and negotiate the London Underground system to London Paddington station. This proved quite tricky as usual, as the trains were busy at this time of the morning, but we managed it somehow.

Once again we had to return to Devon on two trains, since only five bikes were allowed on each train. Michael led the first group of Tao, Eliot, Craig and John on the 08:40 train which reached Newton Abbot by 11:30. Julian led the second group on the 09:35 service which reached Newton Abbot by 12:24.

This had been a very eventful tour in many different ways, with mixed weather, mechanical breakdowns, camcorder problems and even medical dramas. But we had had good weather when it mattered most, and we took away some fabulous memories of a wonderful country.
