Hi,
I will still be doing the route I posted further up.
I'll be trying to do at least 100 miles a day.
That might be hard in my present condition.
Each map I posted is 100 miles.
So Thursday I will hope to be in lands end.
I will update regularly on here so you can see where I am.
It will be nice to see anyone en route

So thurs polpero to lands end.

I'll ride some of that with you if you wish. Don't know if I'll head down to Lands end, depends on pace as I'll be riding back the same day. Drop me a PM if you're keen.

Hi,
No problem, will do when I get there.
Pace? Don't worry I'm relying on you

What day are you doing Plymouth/Launceston?

[whoof]

If you are going around the coast perhaps you could consider some ferries rather than going inland.

Hi,
Just before I left a mounted policewomen rode by and said good morning right past the door.
The pic Fairy Cross is across the road but identical to the one I stayed in and was set back on the grass verge.
Some neighbour probably phoned them and reported a homeless person inside

Average cadence 45 and 50; sounds like you might benefit from lower gears! Anyway, good luck with the rest of your adventure...

3.5 Kg of water I’d never dream of carrying that much. Earlier this year I was filling my bike bottle and flask before finding somewhere to pitch. Got me overnight and a hot flask for a second coffee mid morning.
No cemeteries, no farms, no garages, no houses, etc on your route?

Please avoid cemeteries, the last thing anyone wants are people assuming it is ok to camp in cemeteries, it is NOT
