Day 10 Treyoran Bay to LANDS END

Final day had come at last - it already felt like it was over because I was staying in the holiday cottage - but i relunctantly dragged myself out of bed earlier to start the last leg. Thankfully the weather was rotten - well i didnt want to fool myself that it had been any different during the rest of the ride.
As expected the last 2 days had been packed with undulating hills - its very true that in Devon and Cornwall you just go up and down and that if the wind gets up in can get tough - so once again i was chuffed that this was another planned short day. (the head cold was also making the snot count high - but atleast the tramp clothes had had their first wash in 10 days - a relief to all those who had shared a cafe or pub with me)
Mist began to rise over the last few miles and so it was impossible to see the sea! - I did see the welcoming committee and the bottles of champagne (and the engraved silver tankard was a fantastic touch - thanks Val/Tel)
And then it was finally over - by the end there was a huge sense of relief - cycling many days on your own is more of a mental challenge than physical - theres only so many times that you can get amused by village road signs (Did you know that there is a crossroads in Cornwall with Ventigimps to the left and Cocks to the right- maybe i was just getting delusional)
Big thanks to all those people who texted and phoned messages - sorry that the site hasnt been updated over the last couple of days - there is no mobile reception where we are staying in Cornwall and surprisingly very few towns actually have internet cafes - oh well)
