No beast of Bodmin

Set off from Launceston at 9.45, later than we wanted as concerned about a long day and wanted to get going earlier. Mrs Robinson obviously likes her lie in and doesn't start breakfast till 8.30 so that held us up.
We toyed with the idea of deviating from our planned 'nice' route and just taking the main A30 direct to Bodmin. We did 3 miles on it and that was enough to decide us, it is way too busy and dangerous. It was the right decision as we had a good run up towards Camelford the picked up NCN route 3 which is great. Saw the Cathedral City cheese factory and went across an old RAF base and runway. Overthe moor till we picked up the Camel Trail and a cracking run all the way to Bodmin.James has mastered the art of answering his phone and talking whilst cruising at 12 mph. Very clever but doesn't the law prohibit that?
In St Breward a blind woman was let loose in charge of a silver merc and just pulled out in front of me whilst hacking down a steep hill. 'You silly woman' was my restrained shout whilst near village residents then once out of earshot I let rip with both barrels which was way too ripe for this blog.
Once in Bodmin we were greeted by Mark and Jo and have just had a nice lunch at the Borough Arms.
Weather's been good, sunny but still with a firm headwind. The legs have made a showing today - poor old Cornwall. We've both been feeling fit and well and hopefully should be well set to tackle the long 40 odd miles to Gwithian. Concerned about having 10 people in the chalet tonight so may need to source a local B&B as we're used to our comforts.
