As per the title has anyone ridden it?
Going to Cornwall for a break in a few weeks and the Camel Trail is nearby so fancied taking a ride or two along it.
Not sure if it will be suitable for the T3 though as I don't think it is paved. Can anyone confirm or deny?
If not will take my old mountain bike shaped object to ride it instead.
Cheers Rob

The Camel trail (certainly from Wadebridge to Padstow) is a bit rough and more suited to hybrid/mtb's. It is a lovely ride if the weathers OK. I'm in the fortunate position of living approx half way between the Camel Trail and the Tarka trail. The Tarka Trail is much more road bike friendly being tarmac for most of its length and we tend to choose this over the Camel Trail. Let us know where you will be staying and I can let you know some other good rides in the area. We are in Bude. ![](http://veloviewer.com/SigImage.php?a=12f3fd&r=2&c=5&u=I&g=n&f=abcdjlhkoz&z=a.png)

Any tips you have would be great. Off to Google the Tarka trail now

Ideal for a coastal circular taking in Port Isaac, Tintagel and Boscastle. Be prepared for a few hills though. Celery is fantastic and well worth the effort! ![](http://veloviewer.com/SigImage.php?a=12f3fd&r=2&c=5&u=I&g=n&f=abcdjlhkoz&z=a.png)
