LEJOG Day 2 Padstow to Crediton

Day 1 took 9 miles to our first mechanical failure and a visit to a local bike shop today took only 5 before having to call in to Padstowe bike shop to have the gears on Spuff's bike adjusted - to slow the "I've done an Ironman" young fit student down.

The route took us along the Camel Trail eventually onto Launceston and past the rugby ground, where Bees played their Cornish counterparts in National 1, before we eventually ended up in a campsite deep in the rolling hills of Devon called Yeatheridge Farm..

The days cycle was a joy inspired by the dervish Millichap yelling 'savour the hills' everytime we ascended something that required a bit of effort.

Unbelievably I'm unable to report on the quality of the local beer as the campsite bar shut and 10 O'clock and we'd been royally enjoying Lockers  evening meal of steak in peppercorn sauce garlic sauteed potatoes, broccoli and other delights before we descended on the campsite bar so missed out on the opportunity to sample any of the ales in a well stocked bar .  We did manage a few bottles Doombar with the meal therefore a map of Devon & Cornwall breweries will have to suffice.
