Weather today: Sea Mist, low cloud all day until 4.00pm.
Daily Miles Covered: 13.1
Total Miles Covered: 23.25
Things of Interest: Visibility really poor - affecting sitings. However we did see first Chiff-Chaff of year plus a big grey seal.
Personal Comments: Arose 6.30, gear packed away and sandwiches made for 8.45 start from Pendeen Watch. Slight delay due to a wheel spin on grass on camp site - rectified by the placing of chippings under wheels. Followed coast path to Portheras Cove - brave women seen swimming in sea! Inland to Morvah - met Kevin and Mary, local cyclists on route. Passed through Zennor and back onto the coastal path where we faced a very difficult 6 mile trek up and down severe rocky paths and finally arriving at St.Ives.
After our pint (only one!) in the "Sloop Inn" ( where a generous chap called Peter Eadie gave us a donation) plus a cornish pasty we were taken back to the "Tinner's Arms" where the hosts Graham and Catherine were waiting to take us back to their home, a few miles away where they served up a fantastic meal and pampered us like true heroes which of course we are? - even a hot bath was on offer!

Hope you aren't carrying your chippings in your back packs! (Only joking).
Pitty about the weather on Wed. Glad you are getting donations en-route, its what its all about.
Eve meals and hots baths on offer... Wow, you couldn't ask for more than that.
Good luck, again, for the following days.
Lots of love - Janet and Carl xxx
All these luxuries - I thought you'd be roughing it! Next thing, you'll be driving from Lands End to John O'Groats in a limo (courtesy of "someone you've just met!"). Am quite envious actually, looking out over rainy Union Road. Almost wish I was there, but only having one bionic hip, I'd only make it half way! Keep up the good work.
Lots of love from fave sister xxx
Hi Frankie Boy,
The reason why I am 'quite' good at maths is that I had a good teacher (I may not have thought that at the time - but its true. Has your head grown yet?).
I have to point out that 10.2 + 13.1 doesn't = 23.25!!! (LOL).
At first I didn't know how your miles covered were so acurate, but then I remembered - you are using your 'tape measure'! (LOL)
Hope you are both ok.
Love Daughter & Fav 'Son in Law' xx
