Cornwall on an old Raleigh

[Nick Salt]

I went on holiday to Cornwall recently, got the train there then used my bike for transport during the holiday. Thought I'd share some photos but I only took a couple of photos of the bike at Taunton station. This was the best one. On the cycle path near my home I was asked to do a Sustrans survey and the bloke with the clipboard was impressed that I'd done a journey to Newport from Fowey, at least until I let on that the bulk of it was via rail!

Excellent. Some tradition touring old stylee.

I'm liking the Brooks and the rolled up blanket on the back

I've got a Pashley Guv'nor and I've considered some small tours on it in a similar vein. Mine is single-speed which might make Cornwall a bit of a struggle though. Presumably you've got a 3 or 4-speed Sturmey Archer on that then?

No singlespeed, I don't mind getting off and pushing occasionally I'm building an old 1930s wreck into a Pashley Guvnor style machine at the moment coincidentally, let me see if I can take a photo....

There we go ...OMG I didn't realise my carpet was so filthy!

Nick, that's looking great (never mind the carpet ), let us have more pictures as and when.
