Day 1!!







Well, here we go then.... Land's End... it's just unfortunate the guy that owns the plot of land that includes the famous sign post now takes the interesting bit - the top with all the distances etc. - home with him (see the photo of us with 'the post'... as opposed to 'the signpost'. I have to say I find that very petty!!

Well, the train journey was all OK, I ended up working for most of it with Tony asking, 'Are we there yet'... hmm!!

the cycling was pretty hard, considering it's only a relatively short distance, we cycled through Penzance and round teh coast to Mousehole before cutting inland and.... up.... up.... up. It was as I remember it last time... bloomin hard!! Here's the GPS track data if you're interested... click here.


We got a beer at Land's End and had our photo taken with the naked post before making our way to St Just which was pretty flat... thankfully.

After dropping off our kit we headed down to Cape Cornwall where the Atlantic splits to become either the Irish Sea or the English Channel but the water was pretty calm so there wasn't an awful lot to see. The GPS track for this short run is here, it's actually quite interesting to see the drop from St Just down to the coast(ish)
