Bodmin  - Launceston.     57kms   2500 ' Height gained.

Not nearly such a tricky day. A really whoopee start along 14kms of old railway line minus the rails obviously.  The Camel trail, so called as it follows the river Camel.  Not many camels in Cornwall. Ended at a coffee shop (tea and scones before tackling no 1 uphill of the day.  Worth the effort as we then spent much of the day high up on the moors - good weather and stunning views. Being that high meant that we really enjoyed a longish ride  down - so much so that we missed a turning. Found it, but then more of  the same ups and downs. 

This is called the Easy East Coaster ( Not that we are anywhere near the east coast yet) Uneasy might be a more accurate definition. ( Alan is thinking of suing under the trades description act).  However, to give the route finders' their due,  much of today was, mercifully traffic free. 

Our happy ending is an hotel situated at the top of another 20% climb and a room up three flights of stairs. Happy days!
