Harwich to Bosorne
Miles Cycled
Day                18
Total             726

And so to home. A long but straightforward and familiar journey using the last day on our Interrail Pass. We ignored any possible restrictions on bikes on early trains and put them in the carriage of the 7.15 from Harwich and we  were in London before 9 for a rather delayed breakfast.

 

We had plenty of time to sort bike tickets for the 12.03 from Paddington to Penzance through the afternoon. We had a last holiday meal  in the Dolphin Inn in Penzance before riding home in the dark. It was actually a lovely evening, warm. no wind, no traffic and very quiet and as we rode along the bats were coming out and  the odd owl was hooting.

 

Smudge was waiting – it was actually dark when we got home, so a photo taken earlier.

 

 

 

…. and to be greeted by Smudge who hs been looking after things at Bosorne House while we were away. The trouble is, we’ve been away so long he’s not really sure we belong there any more!
