Day 2: Sun 10 June 2012 Fowey to Sampford Peverell
Day 2 will see us travel from Bodinnick to Sampford Peverell – stepping up the miles covered to 85! Initially we will take B roads before getting onto the A390 to Liskard, then travelling on to Oakhampton, which will see us skirting around the edge of Dartmoor. There should then be a dedicated cycle route which runs parallel to the A386 and A30 into Oakhampton.
Once we get back onto the roads, we will mainly take the A3072 through Creidton towards Bickleigh and then B roads and lanes again around Tiverton to Sampford Peverell.
As with day 1, this route will cover some rolling country side, with a few steep (but thankfully short!) hills thrown in for good measure. Once we have completed this leg of the journey, we will be camping at Minnows caravan and campsite.
I got to Samford Peverell at about 1430hrs. I asked in the reception if you had arrived. They said that they were not expecting you. So I drove the route that you should be taking. Made it to Oakhampton, saw lots of cyclists, but no 3 middle aged blokes. i am really gutted that I didn’t meet up with you. Good luck for the rest of the epic journey. I look forward to reading your blog.

Hi Mick
Me and the piggies are keeping all fingers and paws crossed for you all. We may have been a bit quiet – but we’re with you in spirit! Good luck – and trust you make it all the way without too much “damage”!
Hope you missed any “inclement” weather today and didn;t require a call-out by the RNLI helicopter!
Stay strong……I’m sure the folding bike will withstand all the abuse it;s going to get (cue soft whistling)
Take care of yourself and I’ll see you when you get back.
Hugs to Rob too – I trust he’s not trying to add too much gin to your fuel tank ( cue waggy finger!)

All the best
