Day 1-Lands End to St Tudy-65 miles

Pictures of the day:

After too much wine and food the night before the boys have completed their first leg in constant rain-yuk! After meeting them for coffee and a snack in Redruth after 30 miles cycling, I then drove past and honked at them a couple of times . I have spent much of my day waiting. The lay-by lingering I was partaking in made the locals grow ever more suspicious of me, so in fear of getting pasty in my face, I headed to St Tudy to set up camp - a blooming massive tent in the rain, on my own, followed by a lesser inferior tent that was just as hideous. Tents are, as a result the bane of my life. I have to take them down tomorrow just to put them back up again. Have mercy on me.

As for the boys:
1. There are no bum skin issues as of yet-which has brought cheer to the camp.
2. Michael got a puncture, which had to be fixed
3. Both boys had wet soggy bottoms which were a little muddy
4. The cycling shoes, now soggy are stuffed with newspaper
5. The boys enjoyed their ginger nuts (how rude!)

Facts of the day (from Michael):
a) Having a full bladder seriously inhibits performance
b) Bethan’s extreme energy bars were very effective, but did resemble cow poo once wrapped in cling film

I'll blog off now!
