We are good at getting lost but we do know this picture doesn't show us travelling from LONDON TO FALMOUTH, but thats where we are heading next! Waterproofs are ready and we set off on the 9th march 2012.

First and second day
Lost again !
We've had a fantastic day. Gorgeous weather and some beautiful places...BUT we have only done 30 miles!!!! Eek. The Route 4 is so confusing from Weybridge to Reading and added to that we had to do a massive detour where they are building a spectators bridge for the Olympic canoe park. We cycled through Staines and into Egham and then turned a corner to go over a bridge only to find we were in the centre of Staines again....an hour later ! We even managed to get lost in Great Windsor Park. (Why have neither of us been there before?) Looking down from the highest point in the park to Windsor Castle was just breathtaking even though planes from Heathrow were zooming over every minute. Bruce reminded us of the American tourist who asked ' why did they have to build Windsor Castle so close to Heathrow Airport?'
Getting lost just did not matter although we have only reached Maidenhead. Tomorrow we loop all the way round and back to Reading....anything to avoid accidentally getting onto the M4 !!
No beer today !
