Beste Pien, bedankt voor je verhaal. Wij vinden een persoonlijk verhaal helemaal geen tijdverspilling hoor. We hopen juist dat meer collega's delen over wat zo fijn is aan en fietsen of wat jij belangrijk vindt van fietsen naar je werk bijvoorbeeld. We zijn blij dat je fietst en liever fietst dan schrijft! Natuurlijk verdien jij met jouw verhaal deze maand een paar kekke sokken. Wil je mij per e-mail laten weten, naar welk adres we je de sokken kunnen sturen via: [address removed] --> Gefeliciteerd! groetjes van Mirjam de Boer namens Fiets je Fris

Hi Christine! It was a really amazing journey. If you look at the Sustrans maps online i basically created a route using the National Cycle Routes so quite a bit was on quieter roads/cycle paths. From Exeter I took the old A30 to Okehampton, then joined the Granite Way (27) to Lydford, then across onto the 327 through Launceston until it joined the number 3 which takes you up over Bodmin and onto the Camel Trail and then continued to follow the route 3 through Bodmin to St. Austell. There is a good interactive map on the sustrans website. There are route markers (the small blue ones) on all of the major routes so i only got a little lost at a couple of points, but generally easy to follow! Hope you have a great time if you do it or even over a couple of days :)
