Harvey's cafe bar was a lively place, did a generous plate of lasagna washed down with Betty Stogs and Cornish Knocker beers.
Off, hopefully, as far as Gwithian which will be around 70 miles. We haven't done a day as long as that for a while and it's a tad daunting especially knowing what the hills are like down here. It's sunny at least so just hope that when we get on our bikes we feel like riding them!
If we get to Gwithian the last day's run tomorrow to Land's End should be relatively easy so we're looking forward to that.

Last big leg looms
The Glencoe Villa B&B in Launceston was our refuge last night and it is a clear winner in the chintz and massive derriere (USA landlady class) categories. It wins points for having a bath (plenty of water and long enough) and having the heating on all night to enable us to dry our clothes (room like a sauna though). CTC points for having a public tub of sudocrem provided. Also has a mini-fridge and corkscrew in the room and the most magnificent view. Loses points for the shower designed for a 4ft person whose neck is at 45 degrees. Good brekkie, local bacon and sausage, hog's pudding and stuffed dates.

wishing you both good luck for the remaining miles of this epic journey - loved the photo of James in his lycra leggings but reckon he must be a bit of an exhibitionist showing his underpants as well!!
