Today is the one I've not really been looking forward to... the north Cornish coast: 64 miles from St Just to Padstow and very hilly.
The rain was absolutely tipping down as we ate breakfast so an executive decision was made to delay our start for a while... it's silly getting soaked right at the beginnig of the day...
It was still misty as we set off but at least it was just wet air rather than rain but it did mean our view of the coast wasn't that good for about the first hour or so, after which things started improving.

This is the elevation profile for the day, we gained 5914 feet and lost 6235 feet during the day. It was just as I remembered it (Hell!) especially Watergate Bay where I took 1o minutes composing myself before setting off, it didn't seem to bother Tony (smart arse!)
Dinner in Padstow was fish and chips at Rick Stein's fish and chip shop. It was nice but, for £25 for fish and chips twice and a couple of glasses of wine (hey we weren't going to drink tea after today's exertions!) I'd have rather gone to Charlie Chan's in Towcester.
