| Kev at Fowey |
With wrinkled and rested bodies we left a busy St Austel negogiating some stiff climbs on to and through the beaut Cornish village of Fowey to Looe where the sun made a rare but welcome appearance. Still climbing we skirted Bodmin moor to take the granite rail trail over the spectacular Melton viaduct into Okehampton arriving at the slightly more respectable time of 7pm and this time finding our accommodation albeit on a bloody big hill just out of the city centre.
The serious climbing had it's affect on Kev who looked like a John Wayne stand in by days end.
We were well received at our b&b by the owner who doubles as the Okehampton magistrate who sought to dispel our fears at leaving our bikes relatively unsecured by stating "don't worry I'm on pretty good terms with the local crims"!
