Day 1 - Lands End to Liskeard
75 miles
Started the day by getting a lift from Caroline from truro to lands end. Good chance to see the hills and windy roads we'd cover in the 1st few miles!
Having met at lands end we had a brief meeting, got given a map of the route (hopefully not to be required...) and had the customary lands end photo with the sign. None of us were quite prepared to pay the £10 to have our name on it though so just had a photo from a distance...
The first section of the route was pretty much as expected - fairly hilly but mot too bad with fresh legs. Then cut cross country from Penzance to Redruth with some welcome support from Claire and nick before going along the road to the hospital and basically past home!
Unfortunately from Truro onwards it became more hilly and the legs more tired so even the hills that felt small early on felt massively steeper. Luckily lunch and the last drink stop were well placed at the top of the hill.
Finally after what seemed like a never ending section of dual carriageway we made it to the premier inn in Liskeard. Now just going to have a small pre dinner nap....
