CROSSED THE TAMAR - DONE DEVON!

Yes, only one more county to go - but it is quite a big one!
After a wet start, today turned out beautiful, with lots of sunny spells, a cool breeze and great visibility.  Started at Coombebow and did a good 8.5 miles, finishing just across the River Tamar, now in Cornwall, near Launceston Rugby Club (rather a smart ground).
Then took advantage of the good weather to visit Lydford Gorge - a rather spectacular place, a bit like a triple-Howstean with Cautley Spout included for good measure!  Well worth the visit and the extra energy required!
Tomorrow we move camp-site to near Bodmin Moor and launch the attack on Cornwall.  Must say a big thanks to the Fox & Hounds (our home for the last 5 nights) for their excellent and friendly hospitality!
