00:00I live in the most easterly point in England.
00:02I've always wondered what it would be like to scooter across the whole country to land's end.
00:06Should I do it?
00:08Okay!
00:30Today I will finish my 11 day journey scootering 500 miles from England's most easterly point to the most westerly.
00:42I realised that this was the last time in my journey of adding electrolytes to my water.
00:46Last time putting on my compression gloves.
00:48Last time putting on the hivers.
00:49I grabbed my scooter and realised my bearings were getting stiff from the heavy rain from yesterday.
00:53Bye bye cat.
00:54I head out down this colourful narrow road and reflected on my journey by the sea at Penzance beach.
00:58Maybe I should take this electric bike instead.
01:00I can't believe I found a skate park right next to the sea.
01:03What a great location for it.
01:04Had my morning coffee and muffin and then started my last scooter ride of the trip.
01:07I was getting really nervous that this challenge was actually coming to an end after so much hard work put into it.
01:12It then started raining but I didn't really care because I was almost there.
01:15The rain started getting heavy but this was the last test to see if I'm really capable of completing this challenge.
01:20But I've gained so much self-trust now that I know I can make it.
01:23I finally saw some blue sky and realised I had 7 miles left from this 500 mile trip.
01:28And then I can't believe this happened to me.
01:30Perfect timing.
01:31I just had to laugh it off really.
01:32Quick Red Bull break and now I was so so close.
01:35And just like that Land's End was in my sight.
01:37Of course the last stretch was stony and couldn't scooter on it.
01:40But I didn't care.
01:41My shoelace got untied for the first time in the trip.
01:43How poetic.
01:44I just kept running with my skewer and Land's End welcome.
01:47I felt sad and relieved that this was just moments away from coming to an end.
01:50And just like that.
01:51500 miles.
01:5211 days.
01:53Meeting amazing people.
01:54And raising thousands for the good cause of mental health.
01:57I have completed the challenge.
01:58I can't wait to share it with everyone on YouTube.
02:01I love you all and thanks so much for the support.
02:03That's a good one.
