Morning sunshine at Boscastle, probably the best morning of the entire ride.
The beautiful weather inspired me to take dozens of "Postcard shots" of the village
It's hard to belive that within 36 hours of these pictures the place would be devastated. Click this camera for the Boscastle pictures:

We set off from Boscastle at 10am. after I'd taken many pictures of the area on an idyllic morning.
The climb out on the B road was steady.

After that a fairly level run though the grey slate village of Delabole, and then we descended down through St.Kew to join the A39 for a couple of miles into Wadebridge ( planned route was Padstow, but I had thoughts about the traffic and tourists in Padstow so decided to opt for Wadebridge)
Wadebridge was busy too, packed with people on hired bikes, - we felt very out of place without a hitch up trailer!

We had picnic lunch in the main street, and then took the lane through the back of the Royal Cornwall Showground to join the main road again. The bulk of the traffic seemed to be turning off to Padstow, so we stuck with the fast section of A39 for 5 miles before turning off through St.Columb and heading through the lanes.
