DAY 2 (4th Sept), Padstow to Bish Mill

Left at 9.15 (not as early as hoped), very slow progress due to unbelievably hilly terrrain! We all struggled. Lunch couldnt come quick enough, we met Matilda after her Eden project adventure at Great Torrington, after which we very reluctantly set off to be met by 25% gradient hills, one after the other - a low point! Despite this we made quicker time than expected and arrived at Bish Mill at 6pm.

Had a rather hair-raising drive to West Liscombe Farm where we were met by our hosts Mr and Mrs Connell and Moss, the Jack Russell terrier. We had a wonderful home-cooked supper and straight to bed!

Total Distance: 70 miles
