it's still a jolly up or did Geoff pay for it himself? nevertheless the filming and the fact u can say visited them all is an achievement. I bet they didn't visit st Andrews house the oldest though.

Personally I don't think it should count, because they haven't uploaded a continuous video of them since they left Penzance ...

I was in Inverness and heard about the fact they were finishing in Wick the next day, while I was still there. Couldn't join them though!

The clue is in my use of the word "coincidence".

I hadn't read it that way, I thought it meant it wasn't planned so it was like that, not that you didn't know. Makes more sense now!

Nope - no planning. I just drove into the station, and there they were waiting on the platform.
