At 6.45 this morning, however, it was hard to appear enthusiastic. It took considerable effort to fire up our singing voices, step up to the lectern to read or even keep our eyes open during mass. But Father Sean still managed to lead an engaging service - one that reminded us of the importance of seeking (and finding) God.
The theme of this year's pilgrimage is The Joy of Mission. Maybe we should make it our mission to actively seek God. Already, by joining Coach 4 and making our way to Lourdes, we are some way to achieving this.
Enduring the next 20-odd hours is the next step. To pass the time we have a dazzling array of Disney films, a quiz with a huge cash prize and the pleasure of Justin Turnbull's company, who will be telling a few of his ripping yarns every hour.
We also really enjoy hearing tweets from well-wishers at home. Anthony has announced the messages that came through this morning. Please keep in touch throughout the week @coach4wiganandleig (yes, the 'H' is omitted on purpose).
