Sustrans map unavailable

Post by elderlygentleman »

I've recently moved to Cornwall and I'm wanting to explore the county as much as possible while avoiding holiday traffic. But I cannot find a copy of the Sustrans map, 'Cornwall Cycle Map'. Sustrans don't have any, neither do Stanfords or any of the other obvious places.

Does anyone have a copy they no longer want? Happy to pay for one and for postage.

thanks.

Whereabouts in the county are you? If local to me I could lend a bit of additional advice.

Croyde cycle maps are a good alternative, from just over the border in North Devon. Local tourist info centres used to stock some of them mainly the walking ones, other tourist shops may also have them. :wink:

I've seen the walking maps in tics before lockdown, but worth an email to check the cycle ones are still available. :wink:
At the last count:- Peugeot 531 pro, Dawes Discovery Tandem, Dawes Kingpin X3, Raleigh 20 stowaway X2, 1965 Moulton deluxe, Falcon K2 MTB dropped bar tourer, Rudge Bi frame folder, Longstaff trike conversion on a Giant XTC 840 :D

I too am one of the Cornish mafia. If we knew where you are, we could tell you about the best rides, as well as the oes to avoid.

If you are anywhere near Penzance, I am leading a short bike ride from Penzance railway station to Mousehole and back on Wednesday, meeting at the station at 1030hrs. The week after I shall be going from Lelant to St Ives and back

Or if you are near Bodmin, I'm doing a ride along part of the Camel Trail on this Thursday, starting at 1000hrs.

Both rides are free to join and are part of The Cornwall Bicycle Project CIC. Look on their Facebook page for more information. It would be nice to meet you and I could tell you more about routes in Cornwall

Goldeneye ½” to the mile cycling maps are very good.

Thanks for the replies.
I'm just outside Mount Hawke, about 3 miles south of St. Agnes.

Many thanks. I can't make these but would be interested in any others you might be doing.

I had one from Sustrans saying that a new edition of this map will be available from 17th May.
