End to End Frank: Day 2

Well it appears that today has gone rather well.

I've no idea what time it was when Frank set off from his campsite this morning, but his first text message came in at shortly after 9:30 as he passed Camborne.
By 1:30pm, he had made it as far as Bodmin Moor, but the best news was just a couple of hours later, when a text arrived announcing that the first hundred miles had been completed.

As he approached Okehampton, he began looking for a suitable campsite for the night but was thwarted several times by misleading signposts, so he decided that a better approach would be to nip into the Tourist Information Office in the town and see if they could direct him to a suitable site. Rather predictably, he arrived at the Office shortly after it had closed for the day.

Luckily the "Cyberkim Tourist Advisory Service" was still open for business, so he 'phoned me and asked if I could have a quick look on-line for somewhere suitable to stop for the night. I found what looks like a reasonable place in East Worlington, near Crediton and gave him their telephone number. As I've heard nothing else since then, I am assuming that the campsite was suitable and that he is now safely tucked up in his tent, dreaming of the next 900 miles.

...unless he's been eaten by the Beast of Bodmin Moor.
