After weeks of preparations involving booking on the internet some 24 bed and breakfasts and hotels we are off on our tandem to do the longest cycle journey so far. The biggest hassle has been to get the bike and ourselves to the starting point and then getting back at the end of our trip i.e. some train companies will not take a tandem - such as Scotrail. However we have prepared as much as we can, we are both fit and keen to get started. The tandem awaits us in Exeter where it is being looked after by some friends. We will get to their house late on the 17th June, spend the next day checking out the bike and then the following day will catch the train from Exeter to Penzance. From there it is 12 miles to Lands End. We will have the customary photo call wearing T shirts supplied by Breast Cancer Research and then will cycle just a few miles to our first bed and breakfast and then the journey starts in earnest on June 20th.
