The VC’s blog: JoGLE Day 4: Blair Atholl to Dunfermline
The weather changed and we left Blair Atholl in cool but bright conditions. Our route took us on Sustrans 7 and 77, through Pitlochry to Dunkeld, staying west of Perth, through Dunning and on to Dunfermline. In all we worked our way through four Scottish counties, including the smallest in Britain, Clackmannanshire. Chris R, Alan …
The VC’s blog: JoGLE Day 3: Inverness to Blair Atholl
August 29, 2011
What a contrast with Day 2. Persistent and heavy rain throughout the day combined with high and gusting winds and an A9 transformed. Beyond Inverness it is fast and even on a Sunday, busy and pretty risky in wet conditions with frequent cross-winds. We set off from Inverness around 0815. Quite quickly the squad broke …
The VC’s blog: JoGLE Day 2: Helmsdale to Inverness
August 28, 2011
We left Helmsdale around 0815, straight on to the A9 for Inverness. As in the west of Scotland, there is one road in and out. This is the first time I have been on the A9 and it is absolutely delightful. It hugs the coast all the way down to Golspie, via Brora and other …

That’s it for this season, no European football at all; the first time we have seen this for about 30 years. Hard to imagine it is only three years since I attended the UEFA Cup final between Rangers and …

JoGLE Blog: D Day Minus 1
We are finally on the move, though not yet in the saddle. After a morning of final checks, answering emails, signing letters and clearing my desk, we set off for Birmingham Airport and a flight to Inverness. It was really nice to have a farewell party turn out at the Trent Building, including Clare Anderton …

In this, the first of the Nottingham Life Cycle video diaries, the important question: did we pack the Vice-Chancellor’s bike?
JoGLE, D-Day minus 2: the Vice-Chancellor’s Blog
48 hours until the Life Cycle team sets off on leg one from John O’Groats. Planning is more or less complete, although last minute bits and pieces that might make the journey just a little easier are still being bought. My last training run was on Sunday. That’s it until I get back in the …
