If I was you guys I would have extra nights start finish at Portishead t lodge brand new we have just stopped there(easy for southern guys to meet as well) .On way down to Bodmin go on A39 north Devon coast and Atlantic highway stop off a few places Boscastle Tintagel Padstow ect.From Bodminn next day go to st Ives It says restriced access but just go anyway right down into town by the Harbour you have to go thro cobbled streets follow cobbles around to harbour wall dodging tourists you can park bikes on harbour wall free.From there go out of town following outbound traffic signs till you see B3133 follow that to Sennen then Lands end nice run .You haveto pay £1 to park now at lands end used to be free for bikes.On way back call into Minak theatre even if you dont go in lovely tropical plants growing .After that go past Penzance to Marazion on coast thats where St Michels mount is after that hit A30 back to Bodmin .You can then have leasurly run back up to Bristol take A38 to Exeter then go up to Tiverton pick up A38 again at Wellington me and Bob did that yesturday had a nice run went into Weston for an Ice cream (free bike park on sea front by an Italian ice cream and restaurant big silver round building)then back roads to Portishead.From Portihead its not far to M5 for the slog home .Definatly wouldnt slog from Stoke/manchester Derbyshire to Bodmin but up to you guys.Just my opinion as we have just done it on the 250 Helix's photos to follow.Julian
