Day 2. Nr Wadebridge to Okehampton 68 miles.

Today was a bit better hill wise. I started off with the Camel Trail and can see it's popularity, so chose to double back on it a bit via Padstow. Then another old rail path from near Bodmin towards some place called Poley Bridge. This was also enjoyable and well surfaced.

Beyond that another day of hills. Minor roads taken skirting around the edge of some windy baron moor. Scenic but very, very blustery. It then rained for almost the rest of the day. A brief spell on the A30 was necessary before more hilly back roads.

The day finished with a high speed ish run along the railpath towards Okehampton over Meldon Viaduct. Today would have been better if not for wind and rain, but can't be helped. Progress slower than anticipated.
