WHAT A MAGICAL FINISH!

Just could not have asked for a better day for the final leg of this mammoth walk!  Hardly a cloud in the sky, a gentle breeze, visibility so good we could see the Scilly Isles - and four miles of the most stunning coastal scenery you can imagine!
Andras and his son David came to our campsite this morning and drove us to the start at Porthgwarra.  We did a little bit of filming there, then David, Jane and I walked to Land's End while Andras fetched the rest of his family (Katie and baby Bence) to meet us there.
We did a bit more filming at Land's End - the views really were stunning but the place itself is very commercialised and rather tacky and tasteless - then we went to the hotel to get a celebratory pint. Guess what?  The bar was closed for a private wedding!
Andras took Jane back to fetch her car, then we all went to the Minack Theatre, where they had kindly agreed to let us do some more filming.  What a fabulous place!
Tonight were going for a special dinner at the lovely Logan Rock Inn at Treen.  Tomorrow we're going to meet Andras (et fam) again in Marazion, to do a final bit of filming with St Michael's Mount as a backdrop!  The film will be posted on my website, Facebook and You Tube as soon as Andras has done the editing!
It still hasn't really sunk in yet that I've actually got to the end and finished it all!  Now I have to get home and start work on the final "Musical" report.  That will be fun - but I certainly hope it will also make good reading!  Of couse, I'll keep you posted and publish the report on t'interweb when it's finished.
Finally, thanks so much to everyone who has helped in any way, especially to Jane - and thanks to all those who have donated so far!  There is still time so, if you feel you could make any contribution, every penny will help!
