Day 25 & Final. - Newquay to Lands End 102kms

A sense of anticipation as we set as off early on last day (7.30) for Lands End knowing we had a return train deadline to meet.
Rode along a busy A road over rolling Cornish Hills to Redruth navigating our way over the hills bearing scars of old Cornish mining to wine our way through villages & strong headwinds (what's new!) to the coastline & Marizon.
Magnificent views accompanied us on our coastal ride pass St Michael's Mount, through Penzance & then through the beautiful seaside town of Mousehole & it's impossibly narrow streets & back breaking hill.
The last 15 kms to Lands End was a terribly hard slog into strong headwinds that really sapped my remining energy but at 2.10pm after some 2000 km's & 23 days of riding we finally reached our destination to be welcomed by my flag waving sister Rita amongst the tourist throng.
I had barely time to appreciate the effort before getting an official photo done, off loading our panniers & then racing back to Penzance (15kms) to arrive in time for our train back to Honiton where we were warmly welcomed by members of my family also waving flags.

I am relived & proud that I have completed this epic journey & at certain stages I was ready to give up but knowing that Belinda & Anne were depending on me kept me focused & going. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all my supporters from The Warby's, Westpac, friends & all my family (not forgetting Mick)
