31st August 2006 Paul	Nice One - From: 92 counties. 92 peaks. 92 days. Hi Jonny Nice work and well done - try Ripping Yarns publisher - I've emailed them myself on your behalf. You've inspired me - however I have a 6 week old baby, so not going to try this for a few years - when I'll in my 50s - it'll probably take me a bit longer than you though... Well done - what are brilliant adventure!

21st August 2006 Tom	go jonny go go go - From: 92 counties. 92 peaks. 92 days. Maybe consider setting up a website and publishing it in stages online! "jonny does Britain.com" "aint no mountain higher!!"
17th August 2006 Andrew Wakelin	Fantastic! - From: 92 counties. 92 peaks. 92 days. You made it! It's just staggering, congratulations! I am soooo impressed. Take the job and write the book in your spare time. It will be great. Andrew
17th August 2006 Dan Hallam	A mighty effort - From: 92 counties. 92 peaks. 92 days. Well done. I did not appreciate how the time element would end up being so punishing. Please write the book, it would be a shame not to. Dan
17th August 2006 anonymous	You're nuts. And a legend. - From: 92 counties. 92 peaks. 92 days. Nice one.
17th August 2006 Rach H (Echo)	Congrats - From: 92 counties. 92 peaks. 92 days. I think you should call your book "Jonny Dangerous." Well done!
10th August 2006 Tom	job-tough choice - From: Just four to go....... you really should write this book up, "aint no mountain higher!" first before diving back into a job...
9th August 2006 Dan Hallam	Thurso's well good - From: Just four to go....... Don't be grumpy, go and get yourself a greasy burger at Sandra's and then enjoy a visit to the nearby Dounraeu nuclear powerstation.
6th August 2006 Tom and Dan	jonny and bon jovi - From: Ben Macdui the highest mountain in Europe is Mount Elbrus in Southern Russia now not Mount Blanc. I reckon we should crack over and give it a go next spring as a warm up for keighley to katmandu. See you in scotland later this week! p.s. dan says you look like you should be in bon jovi
18th July 2006 tomlevitt	lack of hairdressers - From: Ireland-bound Is that a bouffant i see on you head on the wigtownshire photos? I always thought you probably secretly admired my mullet!
18th July 2006 Tom	nice hair! - From: Ireland-bound Is that a bouffant I see on you head in the Wigtown photo? I always thought you might have secretly admired my mullet!
18th July 2006 SS	blondes have more fun? - From: Ireland-bound is that sun-in or lemon juice on your barnet JM? I don't believe for one second it's natural...
17th July 2006 knackeredknees	Travel quote. - From: Ireland-bound Hhhmmm another quote! Try this:- I think that travel comes from some deep urge to see the world, like the urge that brings up a worm in an Irish bog to see the moon when it is full. ~Lord Dunsany Relevant I think!!
11th July 2006 Nick Yates	Well done kid - keep up the good work - From: Cycling into metal barriers Jonny, What a legend mate - you always were a crazy focused beast, tell you what you need - a cheeky night out in Preston at Tooookyo Joooos to perk you up a bit. Little disappointed you haven't included the Isle of Man on your list. I would, of course, have secured the Examiner front page. Team Paris might join you for the final leg in early August, I`m rounding up the troops.
9th July 2006 Roger Muir	Get yourself a shave!!!!! - From: 15 minutes of fame Great pics. Love the horses and the road sign........................... John Muir Quote“Trees go wandering forth in all directions with every wind, going and coming like ourselves, traveling with us around the sun two million miles a day, and through space heaven knows how fast and far! ” - John Muir
7th July 2006 Pops!!	Another travel quote!!!! - From: Risking life and limb “Restore human legs as a means of travel. Pedestrians rely on food for fuel and need no special parking facilities. ” - Lewis Mumford
30th June 2006 Dan Hallam	How dare you... - From: Cycling into metal barriers describe poor fiona as a welsh bog! i see the resembelance though. cool map
19th June 2006 SS	- From: East Anglian odyssey You're a flaming lunatic Muir. Bet you were wishing you were back here writing stories about John Morris having to get a job in a pretrol station (yes it's true). Next time, EAT MORE HOBNOBS!
18th June 2006 Roger Muir	Another quotation!! - From: Happy camping This one is from T S Eliot and I found it in Country Walking magazine:- "Only those who risk going too far can possibly find out how far they can go".
18th June 2006 Dom Wilde	No stopping you now! - From: Happy camping Hey Jon - just figured out I was on Snowdon a couple of days after you were, whilst doing the 3 peaks. We finished it with 6 minutes to spare. You've done really well so far with almost half the mission completed! Dont worry about the midges, I got attacked after camping near a river, just put some cheap aftershave on, that will keep them away! Keep going & hope the sun keeps shining for you. Will have a pint waiting for you in Edinburgh!
9th June 2006 Matt B	My hat is off. - From: World Cup Jonny you have astounded me and I have loved reading your blog. What you're doing is amazing and I want more people to know about it, as I reckon it puts you in the top 0.000001% of people in the world with enough determination and grit to take this on. Keep on keeping on. See you for a pint soon. Matt
8th June 2006 Roger Muir	He's just a 'light weight'!! - From: World Cup He who would travel happily must travel light. Antoine de Saint-Exupery (1900 - 1944) Jonny is carrying next to nothing on this journey. Virtually eveything is in a small rucksac on his back. On the carrier on his bike is a pair of lightweight fabric boots. If it rains everything he's got gets wet! Now the quotation, I'm not that clever enough to know it myself but found it in a book Jonny gave me for xmas : Walking the West Highland Way. Methinks I am being 'set up' for something not least a quick detour up Ben Nevis and Buachille Etive Mor in Glencoe..........................
5th June 2006 Roger Muir	Sunday................. - From: Snowdon We saw Jonny on Sunday, when we tackled Plynlimon Fawr with him. He of course striding off ahead leaving his struggling parents and a hot dog (the brown furry sort!) in his dust. Great weather and we did get to drive home through Cwmystwyth and round the Elan Valley reservoirs on a perfect evening. Jon had to cycle to Tregaron, not quite sure whether he could get a place at the YHA. Text later said he had sorted himself out and would explain later......... ( I reckon he rode the couple of extra miles to Llandewi Brefi and stayed with the 'Only Gay in the Village')
30th May 2006 Simon Edwardes	- From: 799 This is quite an undertaking! You've been very unlucky with the weather so far, hope it clears up as you head for the Welsh mountains. Keep it up. Cheers, Simon (author of http://www.hill-bagging.co.uk)
29th May 2006 Dan Hallam	Loving the photos - From: 799 I've been up Leith Hill on mountain bike. I lost grip on the back wheel and topple gently sideways in front of a granny.
27th May 2006 Mairi	tyre trouble? - From: Bike issues what you need are some solid rubber tyres like you had on your trike when you were a little boy!!
27th May 2006 Fiona Smith	Bed for the night - From: Bike issues I might be too late to offer you a bed for the night in Shropshire but you're welcome to stay with us. We're not far from Clee Hill Church Cottage Leebotwood. 01694 751424
25th May 2006 Sam	charting Jonny Dangerous - From: It's still raining Tell you what, send me the lat/long co-ordinates of the places you been through so far and I'll make you a Google Earth map. That way everyone can follow your progress!
23rd May 2006 Dan Hallam	Juggernaut Jonny - From: It's still raining 86 miles and three hills in one day! Well done so far. I love the stories about getting into people's back gardens, because its places you'd never otherwise think to go. Looking forward to you getting into some of the bigger stuff though.
23rd May 2006 tom	the south - From: It's still raining Jonny, does this mean you've done the home counties now? i.e. not coming back down this way? Would be cool if you could keep a running list of the counties completed on the web page so we can keep track of where you've been.
22nd May 2006 Matt B	Un-be-LIEVE-able - From: It's still raining But what's the highest point in the Grove? Is it my bedroom in the 'Cot? Probably not, but if it is, I'm sure Fi and Gray will let you in to cycle round a bit - just watch out for my futon and the dodgy floorboards! I've said it before and I'll probably say it again, you're a bleedin' BISON! Completely in awe and full of so much respect for you (not that I wasn't before) what you're doing is absolutely amazing, has it been recognised as a record for the big book (not the bible)? Who presents that kids show now Roy Castle and Norris McWhirter are dead. Is it still Kris ('don't call me Chris') Akabusi? Awooga! Keep on keeping on mate - I'll sponsor you next week, after I've been paid (sob, sob etc etc etc!) Matt
21st May 2006 Jon	:-D - From: Four down Keep it up, just imagine the way it'll feel when you can say "I did that"...

12th May 2006 Tom	time trial - From: 86 highest points Whatever time you set, im gonna beat, so you better put your foot down! Also enter the London dualthlon cause im doing it on my own at the moment.
12th May 2006 Roger Muir	Start date. - From: 86 highest points Jonny is my son, and as such I wish hime great fun on his trip. In case he can't get to PC I will tell you what hopefully will happen this weekend:- Staying overnight tonight Friday 12th May in Bodmin, Saturday 13th first hill is Brown Willy on Bodmin Moor, and then straight on to High Willhays on Dartmoor,overnight stop in Okehampton Saturday night and then cycle to Dunkery Beacon on Exmoor to cover the Somerset high point, overnight Sunday night in Exford and then I think it's off to Dorset.
