...and I'm Off!

I spoke to Dad last night, staying at the wonderful Youth Hostel in St Just-in-Penwith.  He left Beccles on Sunday, following a great send off from friends at St Michael's Church, and travelled down to London.  In London, he was joined by my brother Paul, who showed solidarity by cycling with Dad across London to the Youth Hostel at Holland Park - luckily it stayed dry (although when Paul left later it was pouring!...).  On Monday it was a train down to Penzance and then a short 12 mile cycle ride (again dry), to the YHA, and a welcome meal!

So, today (Tuesday), it's the proper start, off to Land's End, getting the important card stamp and hopefully a photo taken by some unsuspecting tourist.  Then a relatively gentle cycle ride of just over 40 miles to Truro.  The weather forecast looks mixed for today, so I'm sure there'll be some showers that can't be dodged, and probably quite a lot of wind - let's hope it's going in the right direction!

Next Monday I'll be meeting up with Dad near Market Drayton (that's the closest he comes to where we live), so I'll get hold of some of his photos and upload them to this blog - so watch this space!

Thanks for your support,

Maggi
