Making good time

Day 7
Distance : 30, Cumulative : 215
Location : Goonhavern, http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=50.33993,-5.10683

Thank goodness for yet another 'virtually' uneventfull day.

Steve's front tyre was just starting to show the same signs as mine before it split so rather than take any chances we decided to detour into Bodmin & get a new tyre as we started so close.

We went via the Camel trail which is a disused rail line, mostly. There is a tiny shuttle service for tourists & Steve got some photos of a huge locomotive.

Once we had the new tyre fitted we pushed determined to stick to our original schedule. Stopping briefly for lunch at St Columb Major.

We then did a stretch of A3075 which was very busy before reaching a campsite at Goonhavern at about 6.

Getting excited now. Hope to camp at Hayle tomorrow & if all goes well should reach Land's End the day after.

Lucky Steve to get all these railroad pictures! Congrats on making it this far with your bikes that keep falling apart :-)
