You just can't escape T.V. coverage of Cornwall this summer. Travel documentaries, fishing programmes, news items and now the latest event to grace the Duchy, The Tour of Britain.  Although many residents live an outdoor life here, Cornwall isn't renown for hosting elite sporting events. So, when the cycling circus rolled into town, we all came out to cheer on the likes of Mark Cavendish, Julian Alaphilippe and Wout van Aert.

Everyone I have spoken to has marvelled how fast they went up the hills using just pedal power - not an e-bike to be seen. I think we all wished we could get from Hayle to Redruth so quickly, especially after enduring a bumper year of tourists clogging the transport arteries of our A-road network.  Fortunately the route passed close by to my house and I was able to get out for photo walk with a difference.; this time I remained still, whilst everyone else one moved around!
