Fowey to Gorran - with a thigh of relief?

Day 11 – 31st May 2010

A day to test if yesterday’s injury is serious! Felt OK when leaving Chris and Sue’s house – we drove back to near Fowey to restart run ... again with much encouragement from Ro and John! Managed to get to next meeting point at Par Sands feeling ‘sort of OK’. However by the time I got to Porthpean (Location of friend Chris’s Sailing Club) my right thigh was feeling exceedingly dodgey! I pressed on and met team again at Pentewan – by this time I was going exceedingly slow. So after resting (and eating and icepacks on leg etc I decided to continue to Gorran Haven where I finally decided to call it day – met the guys and drove to Boswinger Seaview international Campsite – where Sarah had very kindly agreed to give us a free pitch for the night – on what is probably one of the best sites in the West Country and where we had stayed many times in the past. After a lengthy soak in the bath I joined Ro and John in the camper for an excellent ‘take-away’ from the Camp cafe. The jury is still out on the thigh injury – E.g. whether to take a day off? Running total is now about 274 miles.

  1. Just a note to say keep up the good work Ian...I met Ro and John at Seaview in Boswinger. For you to know, what you are doing is truly inspirational and both myself and my partner admire what you are doing. I hope the injury gets sorted very soon and I will be checking back to see your progress !!
