Day 3 - 9 September 2009 - 52 miles

Spent last night in Launceston, the capitol of Cornwall. I'm now in Devonshire and the hills whilst plentiful seem a bit more moderate. Left the B&B on a beautiful, sunny morning and immediately began climbing. My route took me through Lifton, Lewdown and Bridestow. The views are a treat. Loads of rolling hills and pastures delineated by hedgerows and stone walls.

Had a nice coast down to Okehampton where I stopped for a coffee. Made a quick visit to check out Okehampton Castle. It ain't England without a castle or 2! Now it is on to Crediton and Tiverton.

Weather is perfect! My butt is a bit saddle-sore but my spirits are high! A mere 967 miles left to go. Cheers!
