Sunday 12th April - (Grampound Road to St Neot)



Woke up to no Easter eggs but were rewarded by the sound of Doreen, our host, playing Easter hymns on the piano in readiness for accompanying the Easter service at her church. It was very uplifting, Hallelujah! Weather glorious for whole day, clear blue skies, sunshine and no wind. Started off uphill through clay quarry ‘lunar’ landscape. Technical hitch with mileage seems to be haunting us – today’s distance was supposed to be 23.5 miles but ended up at 28, if this continues our total mileage could be nearer 1500 !! Rest of the route was little lanes lined by Cellandines, Primroses, Wild Garlic, Blue Bells and tiny Wild Orchids. Finished in the picturesque village of St Neot at a gorgeous B&B run by Mellyn Burrows with a wonderful pub ‘The London Inn’ almost opposite.
