Day 14 Okehampton to Goonhaven. 68 miles

Saying of the day from Mr Vingoe; "Please let me see a road that doesn't look like a teenager's face"! We started the day with a steep climb out of Okehampton - never the best thing to do after a Full English - and headed cross country for Launceston on some lumpy roads. We crossed the Tamar and in to Cornwall at about 11 - hard to believe that we'd reached our last county and a somewhat pleasurable experience! Launceston appeared to be situated on a small mountain which we duly climbed and rewarded ourselves with our first pasty at the top. A quick visit to the local bike shop where we pumped up our tyres, chatted to the lovely family that owned it and signed their End to End guest book. We then climbed another mountain to leave town and then across country to Camelford on yet more crappy, bumpy roads. Decided to take the A road and stopped at a garage for a cup of coffee to ward off the rain (described by a local as mizzle - a cross between mist and drizzle). The kindly attendant asked where we were headed. When we told her that we our next town was St. Columb Major, her face darkened. "You're not staying there are you?" she said in a semi whisper. We assured her that we weren't, which judging from her reaction was obviously the right choice. We then took another Gandhi detour across some of the most narrow flodded roads we had seen before finally rolling in to Goonhavern. A quick beer and a chat to a friendly local, who was extremely impressed with our endeavours, led us to meet the local campsite owner who gave us 3 pitches for the price of one. So, our last night on the road draws to and end. Lands End tomorrow God Willing!
