Break My Neck Lane - which turned out to be a perfectly normal paved Cornish road.

Route signs out of Camborne by the A3047
Route sign on the A3047 into Camborne
There's plenty of room to the right for a good route into Camborne (once one's past the mini-roundabout)
Cycle stands, shop and post box
This could be made into a decent route into Camborne
Possible future cycle links left and right

Shared-use cycleway north from the A30 bridge, Camborne

Cycleway across the A30 interchange, Camborne
Odd start of cycleway across the A30 interchange, Camborne.

Start of paved route to the A30 underpass and Camborne - many people ignore the request and walk on the edge of the field.
Route north from the A30 underpass - the path is muddy, and most people walk alongside.
Route north from the A30 underpass - for a paved route, it's quite remarkably muddy. It would be a useful commuting route with a little improvement.

Cycle parking at this new crematorium, just a mile or so out of Camborne
The Dobwalls bypass road goes over the railway but the cycleway goes under, for some reason.
Cornwall's first mass vaccination centre for Covid-19 is in the middle of nowhere (Stithians Fairground) so cars are pretty much vital.
Start of track west from Leedstown
Absolutely brand new Co-op shop, and they've put the cycle stands as far away as possible from the entrance - so no-one will use them, and Co-op management won't bother next time.
Worrying road closure signs - in fact it refers to a side road, the main route to St Keverne was open.
Bridleway alongside the road to Penrose Farm in the National Trust's Penrose estate - as a cyclist I'd keep left here.

End of shared-use footway on Newham Road, Truro - it's not at all obvious that NCN route 3 forks right here.
Shared-use footway on the edge of Truro
Shared-use footway on the edge of Truro - the side road would take cyclists through the Park & Ride site to the Tresillian road.
The main gates of the National Trust's Trengwainton Gardens - all access now is via the car park, but wouldn't it be nice if pedestrians and cyclists could enter (and park) here?

No cycle facilities of any kind at the National Trust's Trengwainton Gardens, despite their being right on the edge of Penzance.
A large pothole in an awful location - forcing cyclists and drivers to the right just where they really need to keep left at the blind corner.
