Day 1 - lands end to St.austel 105kms

Kev at Lands End

A near disaster day. Started in drizzle that soon became torrential thx to kegs previous comments that he'd brought the good weather !

Add in bike problems that delayed us in Penzance strong winds, energy sapping climbs, a 10pm detour after getting lost and a desperate search for accommodation in a fully booked St.austel that had us on the St still At 9pm and you get a pretty good picture of our state of mind at days end !


Our one saviour was the wind a tailwind making us both marvel at Monika's recent efforts in the reverse direction.

In the end we were saved by a b&b now resembling a chinese laundry -kev who aged 10 years (some say impossible) summed the day up by saying at least you get a tent and rice in Tibet!
