Early start to catch the train from Bath. Said bye to Amanda at 0530.
Left in twilight and watched the sun rising as I passed Wellow church where Aileen and Tyler got married.

The sun is shining and my nerves are settling.
Reaching Penzance after hearing names of places I'll be riding through. Sun is still shining and sea is blue. Just like The Med....except those swimmersLes mer
A good night's sleep in a cosy sleeping bag while the wind howled.
Broke camp when the sun came up and back into Penzance for a Lidl breakfast of vegetable pizza and tomatoes.
Lots of old and newLes mer
Those seemed to be the main themes for the day. Away from the coast via Hayle. 3 miles of golden sands with horrendous traffic going through the town. Mostly avoided by the cycle route. They areLes mer
I was thinking that one of the things that I love about riding my bike is that is silent. Hang on, what's that noise? It's getting worse. A hideous squeaking breaking the silence. Message my friendLes mer
Its only another 27 miles to home and I am looking forward to a rest day.
Lunch stop on the Somerset Levels.
Lunch of banana, nuts and raisins!
With my trusty steed.
A rest day. So good to see Manda. And Theo came home to say hello as well.
Met my first compatriot LEJOGer on the long hill out of Okehampton. We chatted and shared experiences for a few miles beforeLes mer
Found this old mappe drawn on an ancient piece of birch bark parchment. It confirms that there is treasure at the spot to which I am headed. Hope no one gets there before me. Hope the map is accurateLes mer
