Another bright sunny, but chilly day. Our thighs are nearly as big as Chris Hoy’s because of all the hills this morning. However, the views from the top were sublime; it was very peaceful and magical slowly climbing, hearing the birds singing and looking at the colourful hedgerows full of bluebells, red campion, wild garlic and late primroses.

Shark’s teeth – up & down all a.m.

The man himself

Highlight of the day was a slap up lunch at Rick Stein’s restaurant in Padstow. Can’t believe I got that one past ‘Kittyman’.

After lunch, we cycled to Bodmin on the Camel Trail, an old railway line, with superb view of the Camel Estuary and rolled into our B&B.
