Phew - Day One over and done with. A wonderful start in bright sunshine as we set off from the front gates of Buckingham Palace. Bit embarrassing being photographed by curious tourists wondering what all the fuss was about! Huge thanks to everyone who came to see me off but even bigger thanks to Ben and Charlie for walking with me. I had a really tough afternoon as my leg muscles decided to seize up and I didn't feel very well either. Ben and Charlie helped me out with my rucksack to lighten my load. After plenty of nurofen and sugary tea I just about crawled to the finishing line (St Albans station) It was such a boost crossing the M25 though and I knew that we had really left London behind. I am worried about what lies ahead of me but encouraged by the fact that I have an industrial sized packet of nurofen on me.
