So after the faff yesterday we woke up to beautiful sun and were raring to go until we noticed the flat tire on the tandem. After sorting this we headed off past my parents B&B to Wadebridge where we were advised by a local bike shop owner, to take the camel trail which is an old railway track thats been paved in places with compacted gravel everywhere else. The Camel trail all though very scenic with the old platforms still in place has no relation to real camels which was very disappointing.
After this we headed off towards Hollsworthy where we managed to get a bit lost and somehow find ourselves at the bottom of the only 20% incline in miles (ridiculously steeeeep). We do however blame all of our getting lost to the fact that cornwall does not believe in sign posts and if there is one it probably isn't correct.
So after many hills and wrong turns we finally made it out of Cornwall and into Devon. Wooohooooooo
Tonight we are sleeping in another field away from the main road to Torrington which we will be following tomorrow with the aim of ending in Taunton. Lets hope for no more flat tires and a trouble free day tomorrow.
