Hi all, this is acquick update as it's been a very long day. After our early start fuelled by a bacon sandwich and hash brown from the McD next door we headed off into the delights of what the day would bring. With our early warning that day 2 would be probably the hardest of the whole trip we did have some idea. But really, nothing could prepare you for this. Hill after hill after hill. And not your small things either. On one occasion we had climb off our bikes and push, but even that was hard due to the loose gravel on the hill.
On many of the roads we were greeted with what the Sussex coulcils call road surfacing. This is where they pebble dash the road surface with tar and chippings. Trouble is, in 30 degree heat he stuff wasn't sticking to he roads much. Crazy idea.
For the rest of the trip it was generally slow going due to the combination of hills and heat. Really not a good combination. But the views were excellent and we had the oportunity to grab a few pics.
A huge milestone. We crossed from Cornwall to Devon
Stumbled upon this fantastic aqueduct
somewhere in the distance is St Austell
Holly found some friends
those hills just kept coming
