Today we peel away from the coast and head inland along the estuary. This is one of those times where, counterintuitively, we head in the wrong direction, south. This is because we are following the Camel river as it bends around in the direction of Bodmin. The sea will no longer be close to us.

The Camel Trail is a 17 mile long track along a disused railway line, thus our walk today was mostly flat. Cyclists outnumbered walkers ten to one. For most of the time, the Camel river was next to us but portions of the trail closer to Bodmin go through tunnels of trees. Wadebridge was a good lunch stop and we availed ourselves of good food in the Swan Hotel, along with the necessary hydration. But although the trail is flat it is mostly on a metalled surface and after 15 miles we were sore and glad to get to our hotel.
