Personal Comments Feeling refreshed we leave St Ives at 9.oo, on to Carbis bay where the sun does it's best to shine. Skirting the estuary, the wild flowers are in profusion. Andrew stays with us for 4 miles, and has had enough, and catches the bus back to St. Ives. Close to lunchtime in Hayle, we again suffer from pasty-itis, (a serious complaint) so we call at Phipps shop, and were they good?
Leaving Hayle, we feel like 2 Lawrence of Arabia, walking on the dunes, still very misty. A mis-calculation sends the miles soaring, and when we see a sign with still 6 to go, have you every seen 2 grown men cry.
As we near Portreath Andrew has the kettle on so a welcome cup of tea goes down well. Another day done!

HEY UP, DAD AND PHIL, SOUNDS LIKE ALL IS GOING WELL!!! LAY OFF THEM PASTIES OR YOUR BELLIES WILL GET TOO BIG TO DO ANY WALKING (THINK ON!!!) ENJOY TODAY AND GET YOUR THERMALS READY FOR THE WEEKEND. TAKE CARE LISA XX
hi boys i wonder if the good people of cornwall know that they have one of the top pastie eating experts in the country walking through the county.Being a pastyitus sufferer myself usually whilst in your company i might add. I commend you for bringing this desease to the publics attention. I think if you ever attempted everest you would need at least twenty sherpas just to carry the pasties up. Anyway best 0f luck to all of you on your journey.Your driver deserves a great deal of credit driving a few miles. Then waiting for hours until he sees two pastie eating champions rolling down the hill lookin for a brew to soak up the pastry.Keep skipping on the oars.tc
