Day One: Drizzle

Well that's day one over with - about 66 miles down just 400 something to go.

We actually did just over 70 miles today - through a variety of drizzles, light rain etc. - as we had first to reach Lands End before we could leave Lands End (see photo for shot of rather tacky start point).

No major problems today - D narrowly averted disaster by losing and recovering the map twice, my chain came off just nr Charlestown (v pretty by the way) but that's pretty much it - exciting eh?

We were out on the bikes for quite a long time - about 8 hrs - but this did include 2 food stops and multiple map reading stops plus a fair few putting on / taking off of waterproofs stops.

Tomorrow is our longest and hilliest day we think - what kind of a combination is that? - with our end point at another YH, this time in Exeter.
