A nothing much day.

Woke up late this morning which ruined the best made plans for a long day walking (plan A). This was followed by few more disappointments which effected plans B & C.  Let me explain: Firstly we both had a really bad night sleep, i don't think it was due to the heavy rain. I think i'm feeling a bit anxious about my physical abilities for the next five weeks and not wanting to let Sarah down (sarah joins me/us on Monday- overlap with Colin (and the beloved motorhome)by about a week). So at 3.30am i took a 'magic pill' (thanks to mum, my supplier), we both slept in until 9.30! It was still raining.  Secondly the handy bus stop outside the camp does not in fact pick up regulalry on the main bus service (disappointing) so waking late meant we had missed our slot for a few hours.  Thirdly (and plan B), instead of plan A (catching morning bus and walk back to Crantock Beach) we would start in Crantock and catch a bus back (evening services are regular'ish) from Perranp...

Newquay to Crantock Beach

Image
Having completed the Padstow to Newquay section the next stretch is Newquay to St Ives. To enable us to be on a good bus route (getting to start and finish points), this morning we changed campsites. It was a slow start, and during the journey we took in the delights of Morrisons. We evetually arrived at out new site about lunch time, we travelled the great distance of about 5miles.  We're on 'Trevella' Park: a big site with statics, glamping and touring. Its a really nice park (free Wifi) and on a good bus route.  Its been glorious weather so as not to waste the day we decided to complete the short route  between Newquay and Crantock, this enables us to focus on some proper walking away from built up areas. I told Colin it would be a short circular walk: follow the coast path into Newquay and back to Crantock. Both there and back the Gannal (a tidal estuary) needs to be negotiated so after checking the tide times we set off.  The Gannal estuary is beautiful: feels q...

Mevagissey to Carlyon Bay

Image
This blog relates to Friday.  It was an early start for us, we needed to have tents packed, ready to catch the 8.15am bus from Gerrans to St Austell, then a transfer to the charming Charlestown (Poldark Central) and Carlyon Bay campsite. Another bus ride which winds its way down single track roads to sleepy villages where no one catches the bus!  An early start meant that we arrived in St Austell (or better known to locals as St Awful) train/bus station by 9.30. At this point i must record how impressed Sarah is/was by the train station: a one stop shop. Sarah was able to purchase a train ticket for tomorrows (Saturdays) return journey to Cambridge (she thought the ticket office lady was very helpful). We were able to gather an awful lot of information from a helpful tourist information lady (and charge my mobile), and finally have a cuppa tea and toast.  Another bus journey and a bit of walking (about a mile with the rucksack: Sue you would be proud, i only moaned a litt...
