They were expecting to travel about 75 miles today.
Ms Lord tweeted: "Very little sleep (probs due to excitement and over tiredness!)
"Thanks for all the messages of support, they make a difference so keep them coming!"
It will take them four days to complete the journey to raise cash for the Stroke Association. Mr Cann suffered a stroke last year.
