Hill County, England

A beautiful day in Hill County. Apparently that's the less well known name for Cornwall.

Back into Penzance for an emergency brake repair at Mount Cycle Services. Brilliant 10 minute fix. Have you ever tried 10% plus hills fully loaded with one brake and your feet down to compensate for the missing one? If not, you should.

Then 'over the top' to Perranporth via a few pushers, a couple of walkers and one or more wheals. Define a pusher I hear you say. Anything over half a mile long and 1 in 7ish. Walkers are similar but steeper. A wheal is something they have in Cornwall to do with mining - nothing to do with bikes at all.

Cheesy chips on the beach at Perranporth....carb loading plus protein so no chatter about unhealthy options thanks, then bed time.

Loads of butterflies, including a cloud of small whites, peacocks, gatekeepers, red admirals and blues.Read more
