Lands End

The Penzance B&B was a little odd, and we ate breakfast surrounded by
huge piles of biscuits, cases of salad cream and assorted edibles. To
get to the toilet involved squeezing past a vast stack of toilet rolls
and enough disinfectant to clean a prison for a year. Is it really
possible that Paul's toilet habits had become that widely known in the
B&B community ?

The 10 miles to Lands End was again in rain and fog and felt quite
tough. We saw a few people starting as we rode in but they all seemed
too focussed on the task ahead to say much. We got a tourist to take a
picture at the finish line, took some for a group who were just
starting, and then sprinted back to Penzance for the 11am train - and
it did seem much easier going back, so maybe we did do it the wrong
way round !

Stats: Total - 942 miles. Just under 11 days. 4 punctures. Glad we
have done it, but never again !
