After reaching Lands End I decided to push on to Bude the same day. That way I wouldn’t have to take on the 500 miles back to London in one go the next day and I could spend a little time exploring Bude.

 

On my way to Bude I noticed an old chapel behind which I found an old tower. (This is only relevant for those of you who have played Age of Empires as you will recognize that this is a wall element that has been built there by mistake.) 

I reached a little B&B pub at 10pm and finished the day watching “Skyfall” on TV.

The next day started as British as the previous one had ended, with my first full English breakfast. Bacon and eggs, baked beans, a grilled mushroom and tomato, toast with marmalade, cereal, various juices and tea. Afterwards I cleared my room and got to the bike to go take a look at Bude’s beach which was the reason for coming to this town in the first place.

Once the bike was set ready to go I started the engine and there it was. A yellow warning triangle on the dash.

First I thought the warning was related to the oil level and I feared that I would not be able to continue my journey. But after ruling out the oil which was still at MAX I decided to slowly continue my journey to the beach. Since this was Easter Monday there were no mechanic shops open and my phone battery was running out too. Needless to say I was a little concerned. Luckily the owners manual limited the number of possible problems to about thirteen different ones.. Thanks BMW. But I figured as long as the triangle wasn’t red I was going to be OK.
