Up early to tidy the house, put the recycling out, and grab a coffee. But still time for a quick chat with H along the terrace.
Today's plan was the reverse of day 1, heading back along the trail to Bodmin. And then up and over the woods at Lanhydrock to the station. I'd spent a little longer chatting with H and so the ride had been a tad faster than planned, 18 minutes faster than the ride to Padstow on Monday. Let's just say the station was a welcome sight. There's even a cafe in the old signal box, with fabulous local sandwiches, shortbread, and less-fabulous coffee. The station staff at Bodmin were wonderful too, wishing me the best of luck getting to the carriage with my reserved bike space (because the train was longer than the platform 😁) After the coffee experience at Bodmin I was up for a cuppa from the GWR onboard trolley. But it didn't make it to our coach until the approach to Reading, so I skipped and went for a platform Starbuck's instead.Achievement unlocked: Total for the week: 154km
