Well, the first day has gone more or less to plan. Apart from the nice man at Malpensa Airport saying that there was a problem taking my bike to England as it was too big to fit through his x ray machine. Heart stopped beating while I comtemplated cycling from England to Italy without a bike! So I had to take the bike out of the packing case so that they could make sure that I hadn't packed bombs down the stem of the handlebar, then they let it go.
I met Ellie at Kings Cross, having cycled round Trafalger Square and then we cycled to Liverpool Street to catch the train to Manningtree. Ellie beat her mother hollow cycling up hills as they travelled to the first overnight stop on the trip.
