Woke up this morning to the sound of a flock of seagulls (not the band with the strange haircuts) felt pretty well after the first day. Padstow is a lovely little harbour town with lots of things going on around the harbour.

I took the camel trial to Wadebridge. This is a special trail for bikes and walkers only, which follows the camel estuary. It is a lovely ride that covers the five miles to Wadebridge then if you fell more energetic you could carry on to Bodmin. I choose to turn of after Wadebridge. Then followed the quiet route to Camelford.

From here the roads roll gently up and down taking me to Bude.

From here I cut across land to Great Torrington, taking in some of the steepest hills know to man. 25% gradient hills all going up. It just seemed like there was not enough gears on the bike to make it. But make it, I did. On getting to Great Torrington there is a green with Tudor house and a church over looking the valley I had just cycled up.

Then it was an uppey downy road to South Molton.

The farmhouse is situated through the town and sits on the top off a hill. It used to be a working farm but isn’t now.

See you tomorrow

Steve (still on a bike)
