Gone completely Bodmin!

If the title doesn’t make sense then you’ve clearly missed out on that Cornish epic series Doc Martin.  Well, we are in Cornwall now…the last county on our journey south.  We knew we were in Cornwall because we cycled up and down, up and down, up and down, across a moor, and down and up, down and up.  It was only 36 miles today but the old quads are feeling it this evening.

Also…it’s started to rain.

We had a stand off with some big cows with big horns when the track we were on went over a cattle grid and across their field.   The cows won, smug and powerful, as we bumped our way back over the cattle grid and had to backtrack a couple of miles.

 

Mutual interest.  “Do you like my earrings?”
Actually, this was in Devon. You can tell because it’s not a hill.

Bodmin Moor.
Room with a view…and very good ventilation
WWII airfield with concrete runways built in 1942. Active for u-boat surveillance as well as Air Sea Rescue. Now, mostly sheep and horses…and an occasional ultralight.

    1. Hi Cindy, that’s great that you’ve been following the blog. We’re having a fun time. We thought of you and Mark when we were passing through the area where you grew up.

  2. Leanne and I just finished last night watching the final episode of series 7 of Doc Martin together(second time through the series for me, first for her)….we appreciate the Bodmin reference!!! LOVE Doc Martin, and envious of your being right in the vicinity of where it all has taken place! We are dying to see Louisa and Martin come to a happily ever after ending in series 8 to come!!
    Congratulations on completing this epic journey! You have another chapter for the memoirs of Marg and Tony’s many athletic and epic vacations together! Looking forward to seeing you in Edmonton next weekend for Sean’s wedding!
