Day2

A slow day but not so tiring. 86.7 miles and 7600ft of ascent. 10 hours door to door. Including one hour of breaks. To begin with there were more of the cornish river valleys, down 100 feet so steep that you have to brake then grind back up the other side. Then a delightful run on the camel trail which as a disused railway line is very flat. Then onto dartmoor which is also fairly flat after the initial ascent. At one stage a stand off between me and 100 sheep who coming in the other direction would not pass my yellow jacket, solved by the sheep dog biting a few by way of encouragement. Finally having left cornwall on to devon and its version of the river valleys, as cornwall, but if anything steeper. Staying in hatherleigh in a delightful B&B - Raymont House. Tomorrow with friends in Wells
