Lands End Hotel
At some stage I'll need to contact them to ensure they are ok with us using their car park as the handover place and see if they'll provide free coffee while people are waiting
Does anyone have a contact in the Lands End Hotel which will make it easier

No problem - so are mine.
Which is why I have a GPS
BTW - not sure what you are riding - does it have a 140 mile range tank?

As it sounds like you riding will be in the early hours would advise you tank up in Plymouth as the 24hr pumps tend to be on the A30 in Cornwall.
Next time I go up to Plymouth I'll check the station in Saltash to make sure it is 24 hr good place to stop before coming into Cornwall.

Might be good to find out if we can crash (excuse the pun) out there for a few hours as well, 'cos we'll probably be too knacked to ride home straight away.....

I've been informed that the station just off the Parkway at Mannamead Road is 24 hour so I've included that in the route as the last petrol stop - maybe you could confirm that if you're up that way?

No problem should be up there in the next few weeks.

The M5 J30 services at Exeter are approx 1/2 way between Weymouth and Plymouth - I haven't included them in the "official" route as a petrol stop but we join the M5 there for a short distance so it'll probably be a good point for a short break (and refill as required) anyway.

Petrol
As promised checked the Petrol station at Saltash on Carkeel Roundabout (can't miss it) and it is 24hr. They also have one of those coffee machine things it needed.
I was going to be cheeky and ask Pete at Ocean if they could do some refreshments but I think at 2.30 - 3.00 am would be above and beyond the call.
