John Lawrie and Scott Boyd complete ride across Britain
John (31), from Wiston and 26-year-old Scott, from Carluke, completed the 1,010 miles from John O'Groats to Lands End by cycling 158 miles on the final day.

"When we finished it was a great relief and I have to thank my father-in-law Jim Smillie who was driving our support vehicle. He deserves a massive thanks after putting up with me and Scott for eight days."
