DAY 3 - Cycling south UK. After breakfast and a chat with host Demelza I start my 40km, +550m route to St Agnes on the north coast of Cornwall. Really lucky with the warm and sunny weather. The narrow roads and steep hills are very challenging and concentration is needed to drive safely on the carrier ways. Near Cambrose I enjoy a tea and scone at the Olde Pennys Tea Room and 2nd hand store, a cute and homely store with a strange assembly of stuff. Energised I continue to Wheal Coates, a famous ruin of a former tin mine with furnace tower and pump house. Nice little walk around the ruins and along the cliffs before setting off to St. Agnes and a visit to the local museum. From St. Agnes 'only' 17km, +270m to Truro, where I'm very warmly welcomed by LI contact Jonathan and his wife Lucy where I have a nice warm shower, a tasty curry and a saffron scone for dinner/dessert. Great night's rest in the beautiful house. August 2025.
