We got to Lands End at 9.30 and the rider sped away leaving me to have a wander and take photos before following in his wake. It was largely a coastal route throught St Just, St Ives, Porthtown,Perranporth and inland to ST Columb Major where we are staying at a farm B and B. Pat says there were some killer hills. I found them trying and I was driving. The very narrow lanes with high hedgerows can be a bit scary when a huge tractor comes the other way. Pat cycled 65 miles and seems in reasonable shape-has just had a long, hot bath while I have found the one window sill in the farmhouse where there is reception and my "dongal" works!! We both got lost in the late afternoon and yours truly was a wee bit stressed about being incommunicado and there being no way of giving Pat directions to a most hidden, inaccessible farmhouse. I eventually drove back to St Columb Major praying that I might find the lonely cyclist and there he was standing wearily at a crossroads! It's great to have the first day behind us and to have had some lovely sunshine in which to enjoy the splendid scenery.
Please know that any silence on my part is due to no reception as I so enjoy communicating with friends and sponsors. It's easier than cycling!
