Day 13 Friday 7th August 2009

Day started started just like any other day boys were due to set off at 8:30 hahahaha! It was a struggle today, one couldn't get out until 8 although he did visit a little room at 5 and so is counting that time! They were finally ready at 9:20. Girls packed up and set off at 10:40 and unfortunately listened to Doris and went the scenic route. Caught the boys at 30 miles (car had done 38) So had lunch at Lifton Farm Shop and had a argument about whether we were still in Devon or had crossed the border into Cornwall. Even the waitress couldn't help us! Turns out we were still in Devon and crossed at 2:08. Today was had lots of hills and the sun was shinning. Girls waited at Darley Ford and asked 2 very nice ladies on horses to give the boys a message as they went up the hill, as yet the boys had not come down the hill. The message was tell them to get a move on. Message was delivered and the boys arrived at 3:20, refuel for the boys and on to the next 10 mile stop. These hills were also a struggle. We asked a nice man if we could park in the hall car park while waiting for the boys. Another refuel then off to the campsite. Amazing views and tent started to go up, not quite up when Terry arrived quickly followed by Kev and Ken who had gone out to meet the boys and escort them into camp. After a shower and a change we had to rearrange the car so we could all fit in it and off we went to supper at Ken and Doreen's and what a supper it was. Everyone was stuffed and didn't want to leave. Many Thanks to Ken and Doreen you don't know how happy you made our last night. Off to bed now for everyone to get ready for our big day tomorrow we are planning to get to Land's End at about 2 and are really looking forward to seeing everyone.
