Bude to Woolfardisworthy

Weather today: Heavy rain easing off. Cold wind. Occasional sunny periods

Daily Miles Covered: 15.6

Total Miles Covered: 132.4

Things of Interest: Thousands of primroses filling the hedgerows.

Personal Comments: Set off in heavy rain heading north east away from coast. Passed through Poughill, Stibb, Kilkhampton. Serious walking heading north east ending up at a place called Woolfardisworthy!
Good bye Cornwall - we are now in Devon. Our first pub in Devon - "The Farmer's Arms" was frequented with folk speaking in a strange accent! We felt like invading aliens but soon were able to translate and communicate! Decent folk - helpful with pointing us to the best source of "free" camping accomodation.
Must mention Wendy from 'Fashion Direct' in Bude for her kind donation.
Having left Cornwall, we must thank all the people (too many to mention) for their generous donations for our charity. Cornwall has left a very good impression on 2 Lancashire lads! - Thank you Cornwall!
