Holsworthy

6/8/15
The Camel valley is a very different place this morning, the sheets of driving rain were replaced by warm sun. Marco came out to wave us off and presented a small bottle of Preseco.


The disused railway continued to Wenfordbridge giving us a nice flat start to the day and we quickly arrived at the Snail's Pace cafe (appropriate name for our journey). It has been built from an old shipping container and has a composting loo. It was too early to stop and eat but realising there were not likely to be any feeding places for the rest of our day, we had a coffee and got take-away bacon sandwhiches.


The climb up onto the western edge of Bodmin Moor was gentle and we were thankful that we were not on the route yesterday!



The long decent off the moor eventually brought us to our last camp at Noteworthy Farm and our return to Devon.
