Starcross 21 June

Good thing I got some practice yesterday because my effort to be more active than just sitting on a motorbike was tested. The trip down the south coast from Exemouth to Plymouth was great. Sitting in a train looking out the window is easy travel. Getting round Plymouth with bad signposting was harder. The good thing about being list is that something usually turns up. No exception today when I found myself on the Plymouth waterfront at the Prince William Wharf which oddly has a couple of Rams heads on the archway on which the prince is represented in statue ( the old prince not the current one)...but there was River Cottage cafe and they served a damn good bacon butty with and egg and with a coffee things were OK It took forever to get out of the city on to the bike trail. Grrrrrr ! The ride once I found it was good. Plenty of up hill till we reached the moors on the top. It was about 20 miles and it was a good effort but smart to come home by bus. The English countryside is so much neater and tidier than most places I have visited but is not keeping up the standards. Never mind a big day out. Rewarded by dinner and a couple of beers at the Ship Inn. The common view is that the older people say get out of EU and that seems to be refugee related, because the demand on health and education is disrupting every day life. The young people are apparently claiming no more change lets just hang in. Interesting.
