As N+G warned us, the university rowers turn up around 08:00 meaning there is no chance of a lie-in.
Once we are up Ali spots a disabled woman with a hand cycle trying to get it into the shed between other cars and bikes. She goes to give a hand , then once the hand cycle is stored its owner, Sarah Piercy, scrambles into the van to show us her portfolio containing pictures of her exploits with hand cycles; winning the London marathon, endurance events, and collecting and restoring vintage hand cycles dating back to the 1930s.
We chat for the best part of an hour with this determined and inspirational character before it's time to set off for home.
The weather is mixed, rain and showers from Exeter to Lifton, then cool and dull over Bodmin Moor. West of Bodmin it warms up and brightens up We arrive home around 14:00 and are pleased to find Julian has finished painting the house, looking fresh and bright in the sunshine.
