JOGLE 7 Day 3 Wed 3 Sep

Wed  3 Sep Start 1000 Finish 15.20 Distance 8.75 Miles from Lewdown to Launceston.

We used the Two Castles way where it suited us and local footpaths, which are not in the best of conditions. We stopped at Dingles Steam Fair for refreshments and a look around. The Steam Fair was very interesting with lots of rides that we used to go on as children, rather worrying that they are now in a museum, what does that tell us? It has been unseasonably very hot today, it is supposed to be 20^oc but feels a lot hotter. We arrived at Eagle House Hotel very hot and tired, having had to walk up a very steep long hill to get there. We crossed the boarder into Cornwall today and whilst doing so we came across a German film crew filming a holiday programme, but they didn't want me or Ian in it, I don’t why, perhaps it’s because we were not wearing any lederhosen. We manage get the washing done and also to use the Hotel drying facilities. There was no remote control for the television, no towels and no shower but it did have a bath and a very friendly snail that was hanging out on the window. We ate out at the Spice Room in Launceston being one of two curry houses that seem to serve the best food, everywhere was rather dubious to stay the least. Launceston as a town was interesting with its Castle, history and streets.
