..........my first blog on the move...............
I set off on Tuesday and I have cycled through Cornwall to Exeter in Devon - 155 miles so far. Some of those Cornish hills were tough with the extra weight of the panniers even though I am travelling pretty light. The weather hasn't been too harsh -quite good on Wednesday and some brief but heavy downpours today.
The first evening was spent cycling along a beautiful stretch of Cornish coast past the village of Zennor to St. Ives.
On Wednesday I took a detour up to the St.Agnes beacon where you get a magnificent view north up the coast to Watergate and beyond.
Today I went through Launceston (killer hill) and had lunch in Okehampton. Later in the afternoon missed my turning down a monio road and went through the heart of Crediton: all these towns looked like they were thriving. Lots of fast cycling today and I reached 35 mph on one downhill swop. The last bit passing to the north of Exeter was beautiful but tough.
