Sunset over Dartmoor and our sheltered camp for the night. The cheapest night, wild camping. Bit close to the road, but also close to an old pub, which we just happened to visit after successfully navigating around some rutting heffers. A short walk from a cool rocky Tor too, all in all a great first night stop off after riding to the south coast and along, via the Torpoint and Fowey ferry crossings. 
View from the tent pitched at Henrys Campsite, Lizard. It was quiant, sheltered and close to the pub, but the shine soon faded when they charged us £18 a night, with all facilities costing extra on top! 20p for a minute of shower or 50p for charging a phone?! Some nice walks from this campsite, but we were glad to move on.
Two cheesey "we were there" shots, the first at St Michaels mount, where we irritated the beach guard guy to park our bikes on the slipway, and the second at Lands End.. or just outside, as we couldn't be arsed to pay the £1 bike tax for riding to the end of the road.
Quick stop at Bideford on the way home, for one last sausage and chips take away and to ease the numb arse cheeks. Next stop was Lynmouth for an ice cream while savouring the aroma of burning car brakes descending the steep gorge side roads. Then on into Somerset and across Exmoor for some more wild sheep and pony dodging... finally a panoramic effort taken on Exmoor, overlooking the north coast of Somerset. Pretty much the final stop on the 170 mile blat home, with the exception of a self-congratulatory stop at the local Indian take away for a well deserved "welcome home" curry..
