LeJOG from end August 2011anyone??

Hi,
I'm going to attempt LeJOG from approx 20th August and wondered if anyone was planning similar.

I'm doing it unsupported, on my tourer which weighs 32lb + panniers.

I have no idea (as I don't know the terrain in Cornwall) how far I can do in a day but a vague plan is to cycle from 08:00 through to 18:00 + stops which then gives 1.5hrs of daylight to find a B&B for each night.
My very rough guess is around 100 miles per day.

It would be great to at least start with someone else and we could reassess after a couple of days.

Anyone out there up for it please send me a message.
Cheers and look forward to hearing from you.
