Well done mate to haave escaped Cornwall, a lovely county but full of hills and trigger happy nutters. Have you considered that there may be some other hills on the way? Had a good lunch in the FP in Cambridge on Tuesday and spoke to Katherine who was very concerned to hear that you were a bit tired. I told her not to be so stupid as tiredness won't kill you as you are much more likely to be killed by a lorry! Keep going and keep up the blog as I am listening!
