Day 10! Last night we went to Sam's Fish Restaurant and had a great meal and a good time. Left Alistair and Vicki's at about 9.30am after a great breakfast. Jeff drove us to the A30 where we stopped last night just past Bodmin and we carried on towards the West.

Very strong headwinds today and tough going - we did about 12 miles in the first hour - pedalling downhill into the wind is not a good feeling.We agreed to stop in Hayle on the way for a pastie - Jeff has been raving about Philp's Pasties since we started last week - which took us 2.5 hours and 36 miles.

The pasties did not disappoint and Sarahann and Michaela, as well as Jeff's wife Ann, joined us for lunch. Not sure that a pastie is the best food to have when cycling but it was very good. Only 18 miles to go from Hayle so back on the A30 towards Penzance.

At this stage the wind was still strong although in stages it di switch around and allow us to get a good speed up. We went through Penzance rather than on the bypass - good to see the seafront - and then only 9 miles to go. We saw a few other groups on the way to Lands End and cycled a short distsance with them. Tough little hills around here as well.

With a couple of miles to go it started to sink in what we had achieved and at 3.30pm we arrived in Lands End - 54 miles today and 858 miles in total, with 58 hours 50 minutes in the saddle; an average of 14.57 mph. Our families were waiting for us and it was a very emotional end to the ride.

After a couple of well deserved beers in the First & Last we headed to the hotel. Tonight we will celebrate in style and have a good lie in tomorrow!
