Day one..."hello Rev!"

Well, day one is complete! - Dad got the all important photo at Land's End (and one of the stunning view), and he got a big surprise when a stranger called out, "Hello, Rev" - it was a visitor from Lowestoft who had seen the article about the cycle ride in the paper...what a small world!

The day's ride ended up being 53 miles, all without showers.  A detour into Truro allowed him to visit the beautiful Cathedral, and he took shelter there while it rained.  The day's ride was fine, but very hilly with the uphills seeming to go on for ever (and, he claims, getting steeper as the day wore on!).  He was tired when he arrived at the B & B, and went out for something to eat...which ended up being nearly 2 miles walk uphill to get there (mad or what?!). 

So, the adventure is truly underway, let's hope it's not too wet and windy as he heads on through Cornwall,
