Day 6 Clun To Just South Of Warrington

-
After the late arrival last night I then had a bad night as I had a stoma bag leak. I know that's probably more info than you wanted, but hey, part of the reason I'm doing this is to raise awareness. Anyway it was not too bad and nothing much got soiled but hard to deal with when wild camping! On the upside as it happened at 5.30am it meant I was up and away and arrived at the campsite in good time tonight. Now doing the washing, it was fine hand washing the other nights, but a washing machine and tumble dryer make it so much easier. The cycling today was much easier, more downhill than up, and weather was cloudy but dry, made really good time even though it was about 135km. Not that much to see today but, Clun is a really interesting small town and quantum leap at Shrewsbury is a cool art piece celebrating Darwin (who was born in Shrewsbury).

Planned Land's End to John o'Groats route

Finally planned my rough route which is 15 days long. You can use the map above (in Komoot) to look in more detail at where I plan to stop each night as each has a number for the night. It is not following my exact route though as I will be using B-roads and the Sustrans National Cycle Route for most of it, the whole route version only pins the stopping points.  If you want to see more about my exact route each day look at my profile on Komoot:  https://www.komoot.com/user/417102468365 . I will be spending two nights in a B&B near Keswick, very close to Suprise View where we scattered Jo's ashes. The rest of it I will be camping, and camping wild where I can!

Day 2, Fowey To Dartmoor

-
Great day cycling, two ferries and lots more climbing. As predicted, although the climb to Dartmoor was high and long, it was not as tough as the high gradients in Cornish coastal roads. Great views on the coastal parts and in Dartmoor. As usual it tipped it down on Dartmoor, but the upside was some great rainbows. One end of a rainbow even marked my camping spot. Now camping wild on Dartmoor and it stopped raining just when I wanted to set up camp! Now the stars are out and the milky way looks brighter than I have ever seen it.
