John O'Groats to Land's End - 1989
August 31st - Perranporth to Lizard Point 
(32 miles)

Our prayers were answered on this, the last day of the ride. From 
Perranporth (depart 10am) to the Lizard (arrive 12.30) we made full 
use of a superb tailwind. We were in a hurry now to finish the ride 
- and it was a magnificent day on which to finish. When we got to 
Lizard Town, with still another mile to go to the most southerly point, 
we looked at the map, checked the distance to Coverack (eight 
miles) and thought 'Shall we go all the way?' We looked at each 
other and thought 'Naah!', so off we went smartish to meet Mary 
and Ruby at Coverack youth hostel. Mary was in the orchard above 
the hostel and Ruby was on Sam's Quay. It was a memorable 
moment for all of us, one that was shared by all and sundry in the 
hostel, who had been kept informed of our movements. That 
evening we went with them to the Minack Theatre.        The End
