The following account is based on the extensive diary notes of Leslie R Freeman, his opening gambit to Day One of this great adventure being 'This was the start of an excellent week spent in the West Country in the company of Jim Harrold, during which we covered most of the lines in Cornwall and Devon using West of England Rail Rover tickets.' On that first day - Sunday, 29 May 1960 - the itinerary was largely based on getting to Cornwall, so this account covers the outward journey and also Day 2 to include a flavour of the week away from home.
