![]() The plan is to get an early start tomorrow. For this reason we headed to Land's End today to get the photographs out of the way. On arrival it was sunny and you could see quite some way out to sea. We faffed around having lunch, looking at the museums etc for an hour or two. By this time the mist had come down and you couldn't even see the sea! One particular attraction was all about the End to End Challenge and listed famous people who had completed the journey by any means. Billy Butlin did it in his Rolls Royce in the 1960s, Ian Botham walked it and someone even ran backwards. One guy was riding his bike, for charity, and was so excited when he caught sight of the finish in John O'Groats that he invited the team physio to sit on the crossbar of his bike. He promtly crashed 500 yards from the finish, knocked himself out cold for 20 minutes and was airlifted to hospital with a fractured skull. He never completed the ride. The moral is simple, don't have a physio. CommentsPaul Kavanagh Mon, 26 Jul 2010 8:18:21 pm Was that your pedalo whizzing across the bay? All the best for a good first day tomorrow!
