and a missed call from the Chris Evans show.
We woke at seven, left the hostel at eight. Arrived at Lands End at 8:40 where we took some photos and got asked by a tourist if he could take our photo. We made our way to Penzance and made good progress for the first 30miles after which it became steeper and steeper.
The King Harry Ferry crossing was one of the few opportunities we had to stop. We were met with the bizarre sight of enormous car transporters being stored on River Fal. The global economic downturn in the car market means it is cheaper to keep the inactive ships parked on the River Fal with a reduced crew.
I had a voice mail from the Chris Evans show who were interested in playing my request for "King of the Road" by the Proclaimers as the first song on tonight's show. Unfortunately I was too exhausted to pick up my voicemail. I'll try again next Friday when we cycle towards Scotland or the Friday after when arrive in John O'Groats. I'll put a post on the blog if we're sucessful.
Thanks for all your messages of support.
Simon.
A morning cycling in fine drizzle.
