E2E Day 2. We had a bit of a lumpy morning with plenty of goings up and down! Lunch was fish & chips at a little cafe on Padstow Harbour. Then we had to go onto the beach to catch the little ferry over to Rock. We stopped outside a house that had a hosepipe by the road and washed the worst of the sand off the bikes – hope they didn’t mind! Then we were off up hill again…
E2E Day 1. Land’s End Youth Hostel is a lovely house nestling just outside St Just, and the journey to it had been mainly sunny. Today however was a different matter. We were greeted by a misty morning at Land’s End itself. After that it was a constant drizzle throughout the day and sadly as a result the views were minimal. At least the wind was behind us all day and the temperatures fine, and we were thankful for that….
We got a lift to Manchester airport, flew to Exeter, taxi to the train station, train to Penzance then walked to the bike shop to collect our bikes. After pumping up the tyres, we then cycled to St Just, bought some food then cycled on to Lands End Youth Hostel. After cooking chilli for tea, we had a lovely relaxed evening ready for the big start tomorrow. You can view our E2E Day 0 route below: [sgpx gpx=”/wp-content/uploads/gpx/e2e-day0.gpx”]
