The mist has not cleared and they are enjoying a meal
in the 'First & Last in England' pub.
- They may find it mists over again towards closing time!
Tomorrows start is scheduled for 9.00 am at Lands End.
THE PLAN!
This part of the journey should be relatively straight
forward. Of course given the vagaries of the public transport it hasn’t been
that easy to book the tickets, but we’re hoping the journey itself is problem
free.
We all live on the Wirral
so will meet up and travel down to Cornwall together.
The plan is to meet at Bill’s house in Birkenhead on Friday
morning. We will then cycle the short distance to the Seacombe and catch the Mersey
Ferry to Liverpool, then cycle to Lime Street station.
Our first train is the 09:13 Liverpool to Plymouth arriving
14:44. There is a train from there to Penzance
few minutes later --- but it doesn’t take bikes, nor does the next one.
We have therefore booked the 16:55 arriving in Penzance
Station at 18:50.
I expected to be able to do this using the Trainline
service . However, good as this website is for simple journeys, it seems
quite unable to cope with journeys with several legs and more than 2 bikes. I
reported this on the feedback link and was told that it would have worked if I
had checked the "allow double time for changes" box. This was true for
this particular journey but, as I discovered when I booked the other part of the
journey, not for others.
We then have a ten mile cycle (in the dark) to our first
nights B&B in Sennen.
Next morning just a short ride to Land’s
End before we start the proper trip.
