Day 00


Arrived at Lands End at 3pm and greeted by the customary mizzle. Unpacked bike and off to the official photo and the hotel to get an official stamp. Decided to get a bonus 15miles under my belt and cycle to Penzance. I must say the van looked the better option as Boycie notched up the heater and slipped in a Paul Weller CD. Still, on the bike for me and I was soon experiencing the ups and downs of Cornwall. Met a 5 generation dairy farmer called Jethro who was doing a herd road crossing. Had a good chat and moan about milk prices and supermarkets, could of been in Tarporley. Now in Penzance YHA not my cup of tea but they do a good Spagball and Cornish Knocker.

An EXTRA 15 miles?!! I would have thought it was all about finding short cuts not riding further than you have to!!
