LEJOG 2025

Day 0

Day zero has finally arrived!

Nice and early 4:00 a.m. start after playing catch the mouse with Bella the cat.

I’ve made it to Paddington station. My injured leg is very much the passenger at the moment. The left leg is doing all the hard work. I’m sure over time they will sort out a good working relationship.

Thanks to Naslie, as ever for reminding me of all the important stuff I would have left behind (soap and snacks)!

Penzance 5.5 hours later.

.. and 10 minutes later my first puncture. I hope this won’t be the pattern!

Cycled onwards through the picturesque village of Mousehole before arriving at my home for the night about 3 miles outside of Lands end.

    That looks suspiciously like the train to John O’Groats.

    Hope the leg comes to the party. Here’s to a great ride!

    It looks like you’ve got some decent weather for the start of your trip. Fingers crossed not too many more punctures
