LEJOG Day 2 - Penzance to Tregony

First hilly day with panniers. A couple of nasty 17% short pinches 😲

Cycled along the mining trail and past some splendid examples of the old Cornish tin mines. Tin mining ended in 1998 when the last remaining mine became unprofitable. However, in 2021 a new mining operation began to extract battery-grade lithium carbonate.

Outstanding (and much needed) refueling stops today - coffee & homemade goodies in Camborne and best pub dinner yet (fish pie) in Tregony!

In a delightful B&B tonight.
