Day 12- Witheridge to Camelford 80 miles (Very Hilly)

This was the dynamic duo's best day yet covering 80 miles acoss Devon's extremely hilly but beautiful terrain. Paul finally bows to a bit of "Little road joy" and finds the hill climbs hard but exhilarating. Lucy just finds them HARD! Both of them enjoy all the fox gloves, pink campion that abound theses little lanes.Truly beautiful but incredibly exhausting. We stay in a really lovely vegetarian bed and breakfast run by a great couple. Not sure they understand Paul's dietary needs.
We eat at the local curry house where Ramesh a nepalese guy is truly wonderful and despite Paul trying to get 10%, feeds us with a feast. Popadoms galore and wonderful chicken sizzling dishes. He gives us a great deal on beer and Ellis gives him a tip saying " Keep the 10%"
