Penzance

So if we were in any doubt before, today confirmed that this is in no way going to be straight forward. Matt and Grum managed to arrive at our accommodation in penzance, only 15 hours after leaving their own homes in Edinburgh!

Before I had even got up this morning Matt had been refused his hire car as they weren't convinced of his address. Apparently some young vagrant has possibly been using his details in order to hire cars across europe and not pay, unless there is something Matt is not telling us..

Anyway delay as he had to get the bank to print himself out identification proof etc etc etc, but he caught up with the boys in the van at tebay after what I can only assume was some gentle bending of the highway code.

I on the other hand managed to cycle along the Marylebone road without major incident, an achievement in itself given how difficult it must be to drive along trouble free, although I did see a guy get nicked for a ludicrous illegal U turn. My train was also delayed after a fatality on the line at Southall and they actually started cancelling trains so lucky to have made it at all albeit with an hour and a half delay.

Anyway we are here and ready to go. Looks like its 100 miles tomorrow after you add on the 10 to lands end and back... No body said this would be easy...
