It doesn't sound as if the endeavour has started terribly well.
At some point during the train journey down to Penzance, some kids fell onto the enormous parcel that contained the component parts of his bicycle and some kind of damage was inflicted on the lever that operates the rear gear mechanism.
Although Frank is carrying the tools he expected to need to re-assemble and maintain the bike, it sounds as if the damage would have been easier to sort out with a more comprehensive toolkit.
Nevertheless, it seems that after a couple of hours of bodging, the gear change mechanism "sort of works" and Frank has made it from Penzance down to the tip of the country. Hopefully, he'll be getting a good night's sleep at the campsite somewhere near Sennan.
