Geoff, I am visiting Cornwall and want to see the villages of Altarnun, Lezant, Laneast, Ottery, Chipshop, and Lamerton. How difficult would it be to bike between these villages? Any idea about the elevation gain and loss? Robin

It's always interesting to explore VT members home pages. Many of them obviously we have never heard about before. Looks like a lovely area.

I enjoyed my trip to Altarnun through your pictures and tips. I see you missed the best part of Canada when you visited.
