Day 4 and The End

I am sitting here in Spain, enjoying the comfort of a wide-backed, cushioned chair. It has taken me a couple of days to recover from the ride, but it is now time to wrap this sucker up. So to conclude: we left Liskeard and gingerly ambled towards our destination Land's End. 79 miles. Not too steep, but still a few death hills to negotiate.

We arrived in Land's End at about 4pm on Sunday 11th July, four days after departure. I had a delicious tea with clotted cream, jam and scones. Then we piled on the bus and turned off in Bodmin to watch Spain beat Holland, hopped back on the bus and arrived back in London at 3am.

Thank you to all those of you who donated. Your generosity contributed £6,988.00 to a grand total of over £125,000.

Below are some videos of the trip:

Some figures:

That's it for now. I hope you have enjoyed the blog and thank you once again.
