Polruan ferry is really easy. I think I got an ice cream nearby whilst waiting for it (you can see across the estuary so it's easy to guess the timings). Wasn't busy at all when I used it.
Also cheered up by the fact that the third last road you pass on the right on the way down to the ferry is called Greenbank. On the KS&W route there's also another Greenbank Road in Liskeard an hour or two before Polruan.

Cool. I'll leave it in for now. Since we're going to DIY it, I've stretched the route a bit to grab some nearby tiles while I'm rolling around. Now we need to decide if it's better to train to Exeter on Thu night or Fri morning? I imagine both options will be shit. I presume GWR still have those almost useless 2xbike racks in 3 places on their trains that are usually full of people and luggage and/or don't fit modern bikes.
I wonder if it's easier/smarter to take Crossrail out to Reading and then get an Exeter train? Rather than going in to Paddington. Probs fewer people getting on.
hippy
Kernow&SW there's a ferry crossing at Polruan/Fowey. I guess it's pretty regular and if not we can always head up to the Bodinnick ferry or there's a bridge in Lostwithiel (adding ~22k)

Anyone recall any details about using these? Looks like £5 with a bike.
