My first steps were actually leaving home with Ann on Sunday afternoon as she drove me to Dulles Airport. But today I took the first of my footsteps carrying me the length of the United Kingdom.

After eating that modified full English breakfast I walked town a bit waiting for 11:00 bus, which left station at 11:08 and drove me back past Lugger Inn. We arrived just an hour later in Land’s End. (Ten miles or so took an hour due to several stops, and to the narrow teisting roads – some are really only a lane and a half wide, have two way traffic, and random parking half on and half off the pavement. Reminded me a little of driving in New York City except that everyone here seem much more polite about waiting for the other driver and taking turns.)

I walked around Land’s End for about an hour. With the several kindred other people who were also visiting. Took some photos. Met an old friend from Peru who said we should take a photo together.

The famous signpost behind us says it’s 3,147 miles to New York. Which helps explain the polite drivers maybe.

They have a nice exhibit about LEJOG end-to-enders in one of their buildings. All about the history of doing it, and the variety of ways, as well as various records set. It only attracted one tourist while I was on site.

I started walking at 1:18 pm. Walked through farmland most the day. And arrived at St Buryan around 3:15. The Anglican church there is open all day to visitors, so I went in and prayed, took a few photos of the interior, walked a little of the graveyard, and then sat on a bench outside having snacks.

I haven’t seen a device like this in a church before:

The signpost outside said it’s 5 miles to Penzance. I set off at 3:43 for the second half of today’s walk and got back to the inn at 5:45.

After dinner at the Inn, I went to a grocery to feed myself the next few days.

And, so, goodnight.
