122k, 5 and half hours over dartmoor from Lands End to Liskeard. I think that's the hardest thing I've ever done. Some absolute monster climbs (pic of the view back to Lands End from the top of the first climb). My legs really ache. The weather was hot. Not a cloud in sky all day so it was difficult to stay hydrated. Beth met us half way so we could refuel. The b&b at Sennen was good, I'd recommend it (Myrtle Cottage, right on the harbour). Here in Liskeard we're at the Nebula hotel which is also very good, although I don't know why you'd want to come to Liskeard to be honest. Well day one complete 11 to go. Thanks for all the goodwill messages they're all welcome. At 90k today we hit a 5k 10% climb. It was agony but at the top I kissed the St Christopher Beth gave me and thought of her and the pain she must feel having lost Tom. That's why I'm here.
