Arrived early at Paddington Station to catch the train yo Penzance. The number of people travelling by train is astounding and with the good weather in the UK it seems that most are heading for the "coast" to enjoy it!
The train was full and it was lucky I booked my seat and room for the bike ahead of the trip!
The train trip was about 5 hours with plenty of stops along the coast for people to get off for the weekend break.
Arriving at Penzance I was met by John ( haven't got his surname yet) who took me to the hotel where we are staying for the night ahead of the bus trip to Lands End in the morning to start the ride. The bike is now set for the ride.....???
I had a brief walk around Penzance and it is very pleasant village atmosphere that you see in British films complete with the "swarks" from the seagulls.
Tonight the group has dinner together in the pub to meet which is good. I have met a few so far and it seems most are around my age with similar levels of fitness....always interesting at the start of a ride to compare fitness levels!
My Bike and luggage at Paddington...ready to go!!
Home for the night
