Okehampton - Redruth

Penultimate is a lovely word!
I did the crazy thing today of cycling the 'folder' down the little strip of tarmac to the left of the solid white line that runs along the A30. It is about 75cm wide at best and is the equivalent of a motorway's hard shoulder! Traffic flies along at same speed as the motorway though!!
I made a few stops which included Launceston, Jamaica Inn & Bodmin.
Not sure where I intended to finally stop tonight but I ended up slightly west of Redruth after 75 miles of pedalling from Okehampton! Not bad for a tired man on a creaking folding bike!!
The End of the Land is almost in sight!
Good early start tomorrow & I could be on a train bound for Manchester by lunch time!!
