Well that wasn’t the day I had imagined for the past few months, and especially after the heat wave we’ve experienced. The day began with a bit of drizzle, was fine when we left, but then it really turned to custard and then cleared more than enough times.
The route was on quite busy stretches of roads and very narrow lanes. A little stressful at times, when we had to ‘hug’ the hedges to let the traffic past. We saw a ome beautiful scenery through the weather and a lot of camping grounds. Some just in farm paddocks and others more traditional. Also a lot of nice holiday cottages upon farmland.
We sheltered under trees at times. Never a bus shelter to hide in when you need one.
GPS didn’t always play ball so our distance was further than we needed. 49.93kms. The weather was so shite we kept going.
Finally with only 6kms to go the sun came out and we joined a dedicated cycle/walking track.
It was so good to have a warm shower and get feeling back into our hands. Fingers crossed for sunnier skies tomorrow. Our bed and breakfast hotel is up a steep road above the town so we walked down via a public walking trail and had an early pub meal. I think we might have sore bodies tomorrow.
Perranporth is a quintessential seaside resort town famous for its expansive 3-mile golden beach and surfing. Many were still in the water despite the silly drizzly weather.
