Last minute issues

Well - we are here in Cornwall, camping just about 3 miles from lands end ready to start in the morning. We're just back from a great pub in Sennen cove having filled up with a big meal and the obligatory couple of pints.

It's been a day of last minute panicking. The panniers that Andy had ordered from the web had still not been delivered, so he was rushing around this morning buying some from central Bristol. Me on the other hand broke a spoke yesterday, so spent a frantic evening and this morning tracking down the right sized spokes, nipples, and stripping and rebuilding my back wheel.

But we're here now, all set and soon to hit the sack, ready for a slap up breakfast in the morning.

  1. There's always last minute issues with these things, its part of the challenge. Sometimes its a relief to finally get going.

    Good luck lads, and may the wind be with you!
