Note from Hannah:
Adam tried sending this from the ferry, but alas it failed. Since he had spent significant time and effort creating it, he asked that I publish it anyway, even though it's all out of order with the rest of the blog now! The pictures are good though, so it's worth it for that too!
As I sit on the ferry, surrounded by noisy excited teenagers I have no
idea where to begin to describe today, it's been so crazy.
At various point I genuinely didn't think my legs could carry me any
further, then I'd get a second/third/fourth wind. When Spen announced
we had gone the wrong way, I felt so deflated. There we some comic
moments, an old man who almost sent us the wrong way and a car that
drove past us with a megaphone shouting "pathetic" at us.
Without doubt the best bit was finally reaching Dover, I can't
describe the feeling but I was so elated!
We're all going to be crazy stiff and sore tomorrow.
Looks like we've reach Calais, so I'll finish up. No permanent damage
to those that fell off, and I'm pleased my knee held up.
Final Statistic from Day 1
Average speed: 11.9 mph
Total miles: 97.5 miles
Top speed: 37.5 mph (at Shooters Hill)
