Day 5 Altarnun to Launceston 10 miles.

I had  a good nights sleep once the music had subsided from the pub where I was staying  that evening. Content after my evening meal of chicken curry and Bakewell tart, I had drifted off to the land of Nod.The morning light coming through my window confirmed it was time to get up and have breakfast before setting out for Launceston pronounced "Lanson" by the locals. This was a short days walk before a long day to Okehampton the following day.It was sunny and bright with a cool wind as I walked along quiet lanes with sleepy villages. Time passed quickly and I soon came to Launceston about midday. As I was early, there was time for coffee, fruit cake and to take on some essential supplies. My B and B was not far out of town and the kindly owner showed me my room

. I relaxed after a shower and planned my route for tomorrow, glad that at least today had been a shorter days journey.
