Summer Holiday

'On Me Bike' came back from her summer holiday at the end of last week. Two weeks cycling through Cornwall, Devon and Somerset, camping mostly, and catching up with friends and relations. Two days torrential rain, three days some rain, the rest of the time a mixture of quick showers, sun and cloud. Actually not bad!

Mainly following the West Country Way section of Sustrans National Cycle Route 3, stopping after a 'moving-on' day to explore the local area.

Here's some pics. Charlestown, near St. Austell, where I camped for three nights while visiting the Eden Project and the Lost Gardens of Heligan.

Roadsign above Bodmin, in the rain.

Camel Estuary, from the Camel Trail.

Lane in North Cornwall.

Wind-sculpted tree near Coombe Valley, north of Bude.

Lane in North Devon (I had just crossed the infant River Tamar!)

Duckpool. (Yes, this is what this was signposted as...)

From the Tarka Trail over to Appledore.

Hill farm above Barnstaple, on the way to the campsite on an organic farm that I was staying at.

On the top of the world on Exmoor, looking over to Dartmoor in the rain, after a morning pushing the bike uphill!
