However on the positive side I am staying here with friends and will activate my euro insurance to relay car to the garage Plus yesterday they got internet up and running so I39m able to type on site Could be a lot worsecould have happened miles away from any http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/United-Kingdom/England/Cornwall/Redruth/blog-791500.html I39m just back from a lovely week in Cornwall with my sister. Our BB half way between Newquay and St. Austell was quiet and comfortable and a central point from which to go exploring. There were so many places of interest that it was sometimes hard to decide what to do each day and as we saved some of the museums for rainy days we never did get to them.We did quite a bit of tramping round to http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/United-Kingdom/England/Cornwall/St-Austell/blog-790331.html St.Nectan39s glen waterfallWell what a beautiful place St Nectan39s waterfall is truly one of Cornwalls hidden gems Its in Trethevy and you have to park up and take about a 20 minute walk through an ancient woodland to the waterfall. We waked along the bank of the river Trevillet admiring all the beautiful flowers and ivy clad trees. Since spring seems to have come upon us now da http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/United-Kingdom/England/Cornwall/Tintagel/blog-787456.html At the weekends we are free to roam Devon and Cornwall. This particular Saturday we decided to visit Boscastle. It is a small town much like most of them round these here parts. We went to the witch museum which we both found interesting and also disturbing as there were many witch hunts and trials during the 15th to 17th centuries these were known as the 39burning times39. Pretty nasty stu http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/United-Kingdom/England/Cornwall/Boscastle/blog-787432.html Today was another great day I can39t believe it but it hasn39t rained yet in fact the sun has been out quite a bit.This morning the tour started at the Mayflower steps it39s kind of cool when I think about when Holly D and I saw Plymouth Rock a few years ago on our BostonCape Cod trip and now I have seen where the pilgrims set sail from. It39s like completing the circle. From here http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/United-Kingdom/England/Cornwall/St-Ives/blog-786820.html We got up before the alarm went off 7am by a few minutes. Ken and I got to bed late finishing laundry after midnight. He didn39t sleep well because of the rough seas. I knew better I took a sleeping aid. The sea is calm because we aren39t moving and we are anchored in Falmouth. We took showers and then had lattes and breakfast. Time to take the tender to shore. We were packed like sard http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/United-Kingdom/England/Cornwall/blog-785411.html The map says we are in the Cornish coastal village of Veryan. The bike computer says we have biked 42.05 miles. Of course that doesn39t include two ferry rides one of them in a driving rain in an open 25foot boat with six passengers four bikes and the captain. And fortunately for us it does not distinguish between miles pedaled and miles pushed. Hubris has no place in the hills of Cornwall http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/United-Kingdom/England/Cornwall/St-Austell/blog-782389.html Well after bemoaning the lack of photos on the blog you39ll be delighted to know that on looking at the full iPhoto file there are about 3500 pics So to make life a tad less soporific I39m in the process of deleting vast swathes of seriously awful shots. Me in the tent me and the bike me cooking pasta and ragout for the zillionth time and a lot of other rubbish shots. I hope to post a co http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/United-Kingdom/England/Cornwall/St-Ives/blog-782325.html Many signs and business names at Land39s End and throughout this southwestern part of Cornwall reflect the theme of start and finish or beginning and end or first and last. This is because for endtoenders like us this area is either the completion of a long tiring journey or the initiation of the same. For us it is the start. While we still have the energy enthusiasm and optimis http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/United-Kingdom/England/Cornwall/Penzance/blog-781997.html So we did our test camp and I39m very glad we did as it we found some things that didn39t work and found things that worked very well and things that need some work.We left Wiltshire at 0600 on the 30th March and headed to Cornwall. Traffic was very light and we got to Liskeard just after 0900 where we dropped the kids off at with their dad and headed on down towards Perranporth.

Now to me this sounds good for several reasons. The first being that you have as many home comforts with me as possible and also means lots of kit which I love. So we decided it would suit us nicely.The initial outlay may be slightly higher but the comfort level is good. Now some people say why not spend the money on going to BBs. Wel http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/United-Kingdom/England/Cornwall/Lostwithiel/blog-778089.html We decided that a test camp would be a good idea. The plan was to pack all the kit and take it for a test run to make sure we knew how everything works and make sure we had everything we need.Last year we went camping in Cornwall so we could have some time on our own and the kids squids can spend some time with there dad who lives down there. So we packed up what we had and went.

We walked from Mousehole to Lamorna Cove a mere 7.5 miles or so round trip The path was very wet and muddy in places and before we made it to Lamorna Cove the rain started falling in earnest.
