3 days in Devon & Cornwall
 
Just got back from 3 days touring Devon & Cornwall.

Rode some cracking roads :D and a couple that were not so good :cry: We tried to avoid dual carriageway/motorway wherever possible.

Took the wrong road out of Lynmouth though - 1 in 4 Hairpins on single track roads (green stuff in the middle) two up with panniers was not fun :evil: - especially when meeting 4X4s coming the other way :evil: :evil: :evil:

A39 along the North Coast - especially after Bideford was amazing. A30 from Penzance to Lands End was excellent also took some of the back roads across Dartmoor on the way back which was nice :wink:

620 miles and I am almost as knackered as after the Norf/Sarf trip :lol:

A few photos of the highlights:-

Nice one Matt - heading that way this weekend so should be fun. Hope the skies are as blue as your pics.

Looks beautiful!

I think The Lizard is one of the nicest parts of Cornwall, if you're going south west it's well worth the slight detour. And you can sit at 'The Most Southerly Cafe'.
