Liskeard

Huge day of hills - absolutely shattered. Some vicious little devils (think short portions of Awaba St, Mosman). We all had to push the bikes up them - and had a close call with a tractor.

Rookie mistake - we all forgot it was a Friday - so hadn't booked a table for a pub dinner. So 4 exhausted cyclists tried for take away pizza (wait time too long), supermarket hot food (finished 30 mins before). Eventually ate in the pub at 9.00 - could hardly keep our eyes open - but needed to refuel!

We stopped at the Eden Project for a couple of hours. Originally an exhausted, steep-sided clay pit 60 metres deep, with no soil, 15 metres below the water table, it is now the home of various biodomes housing a huge diversity of plants from rainforests, deserts and Mediterranean climates.
