Cycle link through road closure
The cycle route veers away from the A390 here to a parallel road
Shared-use cycleway into Truro by the A390
Shared-use footway with 'contraflow' cyclist towards the Royal Cornwall Hospital
Choice of shared-use footway (mostly used by cyclists towards the camera/hospital) and bus lane towards Truro
Road signed as a pedestrian entrance to the Royal Cornwall Hospital, and shared-use footway into Truro
Shared-use by the A390 and stub of former road to the left - no use to cyclists now.
End of shared-use section of footway entering the Royal Cornwall Hospital
The only cycle parking I saw at the Royal Cornwall Hospital - and it's useless!
Acres of car parking at the Royal Cornwall Hospital, and no sign of any cycle parking. Why does the NHS find this so diificult?
There is NO proper cycle parking anywhere near the main entry to the Royal Cornwall Hospital. Why does the NHS find this so diificult?

Boscawen Street, part of the NCN looking towards City Hall and the war memorial.
A clear end to the new shared-use path
Cyclists are encouraged to leave the carriageway here and use the new island to reach the new shared-use path to the right.
The shared-use path leaves the A390 here and runs along a parallel residential road.

Shared-use path and crossing, Truro

Sign to a couple of Sheffield stands by Mevagissey harbour
Mevagissey harbour, where driving is allowed but cycling is not - though that surely wouldn't stand up in a court of law.
Start of foot/cycle route from the centre of Mevagissey to the north
Somehow cars do get squeezed in to the back streets of Mevagissey
The bottom of the foot/cycle route down to Mevagissey harbour from the north.
The bottom of Ciff St, supposedly a dead end and unsuitable for motor vehicles - in fact a quiet route for cycles (with good brakes) into Mevagissey from the north. Probably best to dismount here and go either left or right.
Supposedly a dead end and unsuitable for motor vehicles - in fact a quiet route for cycles (with good brakes) into Mevagissey from the north - keep left here.

Alternative route just above the main A3074 into St Ives - it would be nice if (one day) cyclists could use this in both directions.
One-way, no motor vehicles except for access - it would be nice if contraflow cycling could be permitted here.
Skidden Hill (ie skidding...) - now one-way, but it would be nice if cyclists could go down this way to central St Ives.
Byway past Wheal Owles (the 'Poldark' mine, with a bit of help from CGI)
Route sign on the byway between the National Trust's Levant and Botallack mines
Start of paved bridleway down to Porthgwarra
Bridleway to Porthcurno beach
A German mountain biker went over a cliff near here and died last year - you really shouldn't be cycling on the Cornish Coastal Footpath.
Staff cycle parking (mainly) at Land's End, cluttered up with motor bikes
Riders on a van-supported Land's End-John O'Groats ride posing for a photo (a couple of hundred metres from the actual end of the land).
New sign at the start of NCN route 3 (The Cornish Way) - 'The National Cycle Network starts and finishes here!'
There's a Pushchair Park on St Michael's Mount but no cycle parking
There's a Pushchair Park on St Michael's Mount but no cycle parking
No cycling from St Michael's Mount to the mainland for the next few hours, and no bikes on the boats.
At last the roadworks (with Cyclists Dismount and go somewhere unspecified signs) on the A30 have finished and there's a new rail/bus interchange - cyclists are told to dismount to cross to the station, and there's no indication at all that
At last the roadworks (with Cyclists Dismount and go somewhere unspecified signs) on the A30 have finished and there's a new rail/bus interchange and remarkably good signage (in this direction only) for NCN route 3.
They've fixed the bent cycle stand at the Minack Theatre!
Traffic-free bridge, Mawgan Porth
A new sign (in the distance) marking out Jamie Oliver's Fifteen restaurant - but no real cycle parking.
No Cycling on the footpath across St Enodoc Golf Club
Very small No Cycling sign on the National Trust's Trevose Head property - but you'd be unlikely to get this far with a bike anyway.

Filling station at St Dennis looking towards the incinerator.
Shared use track at Threemilestone
The new shared use track linking Threemilestone Industrial Estate with Lower Hugus Road.
I've no idea why there's a cycle symbol on the end door - bikes would never be loaded that way.
Some mistake - the road on the left leads to St Martin, Manaccan and Helford, the road to the right is just a loop that rejoins it in a few hundred metres. But the pub/restaurant sign is correct.
Two trees down overnight on the National Trust's Tremayne Woods property.
The National Trust's Tremayne Quay - the end of a dead-end track about a mile and a half long.
