Day 2 ~ Indian Queens to Garlands Moor near Holsworthy : 58 miles

After a gentle start to the day and a refreshing shower at Treamble Valley we set forward for the second leg with a brief stop at Newquay Mcdonalds. I hasten to add that this was not in search of refreshment but a “hot spot” to update the blog and to our joy it worked. Then with a quick flit into Morrisons for Vince to buy some extremely smelly cheese we were off.

I then drove the lads to Indian Queens for the start of the day’s efforts. Later in the day Andy summed it up as just like last nights rice pudding ~ hot and lumpy!! Well having said that this did not apply to Vince who enjoyed his rice cold straight from the can.

A hard day with the heat and many hills ~ and that was just for me. The highlight was a visit to Camelford (and its not often that phrase will be uttered) but Vince had bright idea of a pasty as we were in darkest Cornwall. Excellent from “Cornish Maids” as picture shows.

Then, when we got to our campsite at Headon Farm near Holsworthy, a site we knew from our trial run, our day was made complete with the wonderful gesture of the owners, Linda, Richard, Rebecca and James Reader in waiving any fee and also making a very generous donation to the charities. The picture shows Rebecca handing the donation to Andy ~ such a gesture starts to make the whole idea seem very worthwhile.
