Yesterday did my usual 22 miles but with a 12kilo load. Certainly noticed a difference after this, my legs felt like they had done some good exercise. There is a couple of decent hills in this run but probably nothing like we are going to get in Cornwall. However given that we are doing around the 45-50 miles a day I am hoping it won't be too much worse than this. No I haven't done this run twice in a day but after last years cycling in North Yorkshire I am sure I can cope.
Front brakes are needing replaced now, in fine time for next week.
Booked another couple of campsites after discovering that one was not available due to the English Mid-term holiday, not to mention the Spring bank holiday as well. Thankfully there was another site less than 2 miles away and which is possibly better as it has a laundry. Its a bit further from a pub though. They nearly all have good pubs nearby for food too which is handy.One of the sites said they would only charge us for one tent if we kept to the one pitch - ok, not a problem.
The first 2 weeks overnights are more or less sorted now. Still one short near Rotherham to be sorted.
Forecast is looking ok for tomorrow so will have a final run of maybe 35 miles. Pack and check day on Sunday ready for the train south on Monday. Next report from Penzance.
