Down to Cornwall, I dropped in early to see wood-fired oven baking at St Kew Harvest Farm Shop (google "real bread finder")

While down on a break, I found the Harvest Farm Shop at St Kew on the real bread finder, and met Jeremy, who has set up a lovely bakery with a 30 loaf capacity wood-fired oven. I went to join Jeremy at about 5 am on his early morning bake (he'd started the fire at 4.00), where he works alone to produce a good variety of yeasted and longer-fermented loaves. We enjoyed sharing a little baker's chat while he did the daily bake. The bakery is based in a farm shop he runs with his wife Antonina, stocked with lots of locally sourced produce and goodies.

Real Food - Little Eye Sourdough is Rob's choice for his Lands End to John O'Groats charity ride


 
at about 6.00 am I made marmite sandwiches with the sourdough to eat mid afternoon - when energy levels were lowest and savoury was better than sugary snacks cos of the need for salt. The sourdough really hit the spot.

First 2 days through Cornwall and climbing Dartmoor were really tough and caused all sorts of ligament/tendon suffering -  for the remaining 10 days I seemed to settle down and became more and more comfortable with the 90-100 mile days. A fantastic experience and I have, thus far, raised just over £2,000 for Alzheimer's Society - all possible because of the wonderful generosity of very many people. www.alzheimers.org.uk
