The team complete their challenge in impressive style, the text messages received on the final day say it all…..
“Talli gp - on road heading out of Bracciano. Slightly nervous but very excited.
Talli gp - still ahead of schedule! Stopped for ice cream just outside piazza. Will head in in 10mins. Italian film crew not quite ready! Tim
Talli Gp - mission accomplished ! Big celebrations and interviews just finished. Details to follow. Thanks Trango! Tim
Hi it's Tim - the lads completed the last very comfortably despite heat and even beat the reception committee to the finish line. Had to stop for 1/2hour outside Piazza del Popolo for a crafty ice cream! About 15 friends and relations welcomed the boys in. Emotional scenes as the boys have been on the road for a month. Also an Italian film crew who will make a short docu for one of the Italian tv stations. Just driven lads back to Bracciano for a shower and will then go back into Rome for a pizza and a beer or two with the supporters. Boys will start journey home in the van on Friday morning. Tim “
