"You get a good view of the bridge from the ferry." I thought I'd pass that on in case my photo doesn't convince you.
In spite of more rain a good start as Torquay to Plymouth was relatively smooth - over the River Tamar on the Torpoint ferry and on to a little village called Duloe (up a steep hill). Still going well - here's where it got tricky - to avoid a big detour and dual carriageway I tried heading westwards on a narrow country lane. I soon lost my place on the map but after several 'leg-stingingly' steep climbs and 'brake-schreeching' descents I thought, "This sign should help" - it read 'Duloe'! Somewhat later than planned I made it to St Austell but the hills are unrelenting now.
Pre-tour estimated miles: 75
