Last day of our trip
9. juli 2022, England ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C
We are now quite familiar with the trains from Ealing into London. The rains go so frequently that if the next train is 6 mins away we think we are waiting a long time! Claire and I are almost the only ones wearing masks on the tube or in museums, galleries etc., in spite of there being a sharp rise in COVID cases in London.

We visited the Museum of London which is a fantastic history of London, and a place you need to back to several times to do it justice. Then it was the Guildhall Art Gallery which is built over aroma amphitheatre, and again, deserves more time than we had to spare.

Home to pack, have our last dinner in London (I was hoping for a drink at our local a few doors up, but the tennis was more interesting …) and a reasonably early night. fortunately we can get a train to Heathrow from Ealing station.Læs mere

London!
5. juli 2022, England ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C
It took us over 6 hours (2 buses plus train) to get to our apartment in Ealing, which is lovely! with a Tesco Express just around the corner and 10 minutes to the tube, it is very convenient.

Back to Plymouth
4. juli 2022, England ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C
Whilst our B & B was in a lovely setting and the establishment itself was good, the owners (mother and two sons) were somewhat strange! We had to eat dinner there as we were quite a distance from any other place (initially, we thought that evening meals were not provided so we were looking at begging for a few bread rolls!). Our meals turned out to be micro-waved frozen meals for which we paid restaurant prices! and breakfast was pretty ordinary as well.

Anyway, an early start to the day meant we could cover the walk to Plymouth (22 km) in reasonable time.

Lots of lovely scenery of course plus quaint little towns (Cawsand and Kingsand).

Beautiful garden (Mount Edgecumbe House and country park grade 1 national register of historic parks and gardens, 17th and 18th gardens, complete with lovely folly) before we caught the Cremyll Ferry to King William dock.

Our B & B tonight is the worst of the lot! Very small, cluttered with tatt, no glasses, tiny TV (no good for the tennis) intermittent WiFi, plastic tablecloths on breakfast tables … we have been spoilt!Læs mere

Looe to Portwrinkle (Crafthole)
3. juli 2022, England ⋅ ☀️ 18 °C
We enjoyed our time in Looe; the best hotel we’ve stayed in yet.

A relatively comfortable 16 km, with reasonable ups and downs. As usual, beautiful scenery and quaint villages; from open moors to English woodlands. Cloudy but no rain.

Asked a man who was fixing his car for some WD40 to fix my stuck walking pole - “I’ll have a look in the top shed.” Came back and now I can shorten the pole to fit in my suitcase.

Destination is marked as Portwrinkle but the accommodation is actually in Crafthaven, a further 2 km on. There are no shops in either village but fortunately Liscawn provides meals for residents.

The Liscawn has beautiful surroundings and our room is quite comfortable. We are becoming adept at using all manner of showers!Læs mere

Par to Looe
2. juli 2022, England ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C
It was bucketing down this morning and the forecast did not look good, so we settled on Plan D (the previous versions being ditched due to the scheduled length of today’s walk: almost 30 km!), which was to take a train to Looe (via Liskeard, where platform 3 is on a different station from platforms 1 and 2), then walk to Polperro. As it turned out the weather was pretty good and we did our walk to Polperro then on to Crumplehorn where we caught a bus back to our hotel, Hannafore Point Hotel, which is actually on the point and we even have a room overlooking the ocean. Lovely!

Pretty villages and scenery; lots of people walking who wanted a chat! We’re often called antipodeans (or girls).

All up, about 14 km

Watched some great tennis!Læs mere

Portloe to Gorran Haven
30. juni 2022, England ⋅ ⛅ 12 °C
Relatively short day: 13 km, lovely views with a few showers; sheltered in a shed; cows; Attimidday Rock. West Portholland and East Port Holland.

Nice hotel but too expensive to eat so back to picnic in our comfortable room. We had checked out the local fish’n’chips and bakery/off licence/corner store and had our meal planned, but when were went back to the bakery found they had fresh Cornish pasties (reduce to 1.50 ea) which they would heat for us … well, when in Cornwall … and they were delicious!
