Wow! What an emotional day! Finally I'm underway. The support today was great with several nurses and staff turning out at the start at Addenbrooke's. The NICU there always has an effect on me even three years on with the smells and sounds being so familiar. Today was no different although the mood was lightened when Eoin went racing down the corridor shouting for the 'inkibators'!
Next stop Harlow and again a nice welcome greeted us and it was nice to see some of the familiar staff.
Next was a trip into the unknown as I came through Epping and the 'wilds' of London. I managed to get lost a few times before finally crossing Tower Bridge and making my way to Bliss for a really great welcome and tea and cake! The final 5 miles to the hotel included seeing a gang chase complete with spades, knives and sticks and a cordoned off police area! Suffice to say I am glad to be at the hotel, waiting for my pizza starter followed by pasta!
85 or so miles tomorrow to Calais.

How can you call pizza a starter?!
Well done though.
Well done, forget the wilds of London, you survived the wilder parts of Harlow!!! Have a good rest and enjoy Pizza and Pasta. Good luck for the next step (cycle). Caroline et all
Only realised today Nigel that you're undertaking this marathon feat, glad you got day one completed and hope you're not too saddle sore!! Michelle
