Night 1. Yurts on the hillside (Jan)

We spent a great night with Jony's family last night - Jeremy and I stayed in the yurt on the hillside and used the solar shower. Didn't have time to use the wonderful yurt bathroom: clawfoot bath, with its own woodburner for water, and lit by candle-lanterns. The yurts placed in a little wood, so shady and calm: beautiful! Maybe we'll have to cycle back....

Set off this morning across wonderful Bodmin Moor. Quiet lanes, calves and sheep.
Came over a packhorse bridge at one point, so we must have been on drover's ways.

Davidstow cheese factory not quite so impressive: looks more like an isolated nuclear power station.

Now in Holsworthy, halfway through today's riding, stoking up on coffee and cake. We are collecting coffee shop and hairdresser puns. Best so far: 'Curl up and dye'. Blue rinses only.
