Day 1 to has taken us from Lands End to Tintagel.   After a foggy start the weather has been kind to us today.   We were expecting hills but still got a shock to the extent of them.   Total vertical climb for the day amounted to 7300ft.   When you consider Ben Nevis is 4400 ft. it may put it into perspective.   Additional useless facts, 84 miles, time in the saddle just over 7 hours giving an average speed of 11.9 miles per hour using just under 7000 calories.    GPS has proved to be useful - not sure about Pats - seemed a bit strange when he was continually asking us to turn around.   On closer inspection  (yes this is true and he is Irish) his sat nav device was fitted on his bike upside down.   Blaming his mechanic he would accept no responsibility for the mistake.   Colin Hammond has asked us to feed his fish in Boscastle.  We’ve saved some steak and kidney pie and chips and hope they find it to their taste - no worries Colin we’ll take care of them for you and check your house out at the same time

It’s twenty to eleven and all is quiet in Sennen. We’ve already nearly fallen foul by taking the extra pint of Guinness at the First and Last Inn but the grandad of the group Patrick dragged us out of the pub.
Tomorrow we plan to cover 82 miles with plenty of hills passing through Penzance, Truro, St Columb Major arriving at Tintagel.

We now stand at £15k (including gift aid) raised so far for St Giles and St Catherines Hospices.   Thanks to everyone who has donated so generously and been supportive of our madness!   On 13th April we are scheduled to finish in JOGroats and its the same day of the London Marathon so heres a shout out for anyone taking on that challenge.   Co-incidentally St Giles are having a 25th Anniversary celebration lunch and the Chief Exec is specifically acknowledging our journey as well as the 10 entrants for the London Marathon on behalf of St Giles.

Living on the Edge!
