Day 2: Callington to Tiverton

74 miles today (174 miles so far)

It's surprising how comfortable our tents became after cycling for over nine and a half hours through the hills of Cornwall. Day 2 began a little later than planned. An epic two and a half mile downhill brought us to the glorious county of Devon, which offered us rolling hills and unchecked livestock; we herded rogue sheep outside Okehampton. Our belated departure, and extremely good dinner at Tiverton, meant the final five mile stretch to the campsite was ridden in darkness along poorly constructed country roads. But, we eventually made it to our campsite at 10.15pm, and enjoyed a hot shower.

Words of the day: undulating (Jim), Gulliver (Tim)
