After a long train journey we have arrived at the start line. The ride from Penzance to Land's End was - how should I frase it? - hilly does not do it justice , perhaps bloody hilly gives a better description!
We were riding into a beautiful Cornish sunset and lesson no. 1 of this trip was learned: do not (NOT!) have a bacon sandwich on the train before you embark on a hilly ride. Just like Christmas - you think it is over and then it is back with you again!
Anyway we made it, checked in and went off to the pub, appropriately named The Last Inn in England on the sign facing north east, and The First Inn in England on the sign facing south west.
We had fish (time is too short for descriptions) and one pint of Doombar - an excellent beverage with a slight hoppiness and a lovely amber hue. Rating 8/10. This was followed by a pint of Annie's Revenge which was slightly disappointing - a bit bland so she cannot have been too excited about whatever it was that upset her. (5/10)Now for an early night - there will be hills tomorrow!

  1. Good luck to you and Paul on your ride Soren (and Paul). We are following and thinking about you. The first couple of days in Cornwall and Devon are the worst; it's all downhill from there!!
