Day 0 Worcester to Lands End

Had a pretty good journey down. All the trains were on time. Nearly lost dad at Bristol TM when he decided to go off to the toilet just before the train arrived. I had to manhandle both bikes to the front of the train. Dad just about got back in time to get on the train without knowing whether I or the bikes were on the train at all. It reminded me of the Mallorca trip when we nearly missed the plane because of toilet trips and too much faffing around. We had a slight delay in Teignmouth due to a body on the line. Gruesomely I saw the body bag being wheeled along the path at the side of the railway.. On the latter part of the train journey we had this chap sat opposite us watching a comedy DVD on his laptop and trying his best not to be completely convulsed with laughter. Cycled through Penzance with event. Then Stopped at the Red Lion in Newlyn for a mediocre lunch. This place must have an ace darts team as the ceiling was covered with 180 certifcates. From there we went through Mousehole, had a short haul up to Paul, felt forlorner in Lamorna and there was a hill we got to know in Porthcurno. In Paul churchyard we attempted to find the grave of the last native speaker of Cornish. Dolly Pentraeth, which has an inscription in Cornish (reputedly). However we were unable to fine it as most of the old headstones were covered in lichen. The rest of the trip to Lands End was OK. Just a few gear problems with the bike. A beautiful hazy sunny day. A perfect start to the trip.
