I leave shortly for my 53 hour journey from the tiny Island of Sanday to Balatonfured on the shores of Lake Balaton in western Hungary.

Loganair’s little 8 seater plane will take me to Kirkwall then their Saab 360 will fly me on to Edinburgh.  On Sunday afternoon I go on from Edinburgh direct to Budapest.  Thence by train on Monday mid-day to my final destination.

Two night at the race venue and I will be ready to go!
