Back in January when I decided to go for an April to May tour I felt it was ages away with loads of time to train and get fit........how fast the year is going.
So in 2 days I start off on what I am calling Day 0 - Get to the start. This will be a logistical challenge in its own right as it relies on our fantastic public transport system and integrated rail network --- hmmm
So day starts at 7 - cycle to local station
Train to Birmingham - added complexity is a sudden need to rendezvous with my son and give him his passport
25 mins to connect with the train to Exeter
And then train to Penzance arriving at 15:15 ish
All going well I will be on the road by 15:30 heading for Lands End - about 15 miles away
Quick photo shoot, no pink Rolls Royce or camera crews - shame
Then 5 miles north to the Lands End YHA hopefully arriving about 17-1730
The itinerary from there (as some have expressed an interest is)
