The lejog started a bit later than planned due to the lack of a post and the need for a 'pic' at the tourist trap and business that is Land's End... so cynical, so early. That said it was a great day with virtually no traffic in the first third of the route... the price you pay is Hills! And Day 2 is supposedly worse.
Once in Liskeard (after less than 4hrs 45.) we were locked out of the B&B as the owner had gone to the pub to watch the Grand National - having won, she was of course required to stay and celebrate. Later in Liskeard, whilst checking out the menu in the window of a restaurant (on another very steep hill) I noticed a car reversing at speed towards us.. accelerating, it ploughed into the cars parked beside us! A quick check, to see if the driver was OK, revealed that there was none! It turned out that this was one of a frequent series of handbrake failures.
Thanks to all that sent messages wishing me well.. they worked on Day 1.
