This really seems to be happening. We’re travelling south on way to pick up Helen then onto Land’s End. Who’s idea was it to start on Good Friday? I think it was to reduce the risk of midges inMeer informatie

What a splendid day. Sunshine, lovely paths, quiet lanes, beach,hot cross buns, brass band. And a pub to finish 4 miles further on.
Reiziger Looking forward to following your journey Mary, I loved living in Cornwall, cream teas and saffron buns should keep you going x
Reiziger Went through Truro today. Thought of you. Very quiet. Going well.
Reiziger Its Paul here from Dementia Friendly Dunblane. Thanks for the great photos today. Cornish pastie and pint in the pub?

Frogpool to Indian Queens. 22miles. 743 metres ascent on beautiful quiet lanes. Truro on Easter Sunday morning was very quiet. And the cathedral a little unwelcoming- so we went to Greggs! Lots ofMeer informatie

19m Started off in rain. Lots of mud, a few tricky footpaths, long wet grass. Scrounged a cup of tea from a self catering place I’d stayed at a couple of years ago. Weather improved as the day wentMeer informatie
Reiziger Hoping you escaped the worst of the rain. Love the photo of Mary drinking scrounged tea!
Reiziger Loving the photos. We are settled into Mickelton and heading off to Waterfall. Great walking here.
Reiziger Photos are so nice, and can see your enjoying the beautiful walk !! your both doing great I hope your legs are getting a good rest over night!!

Poor weather forecast meant an early start over Bodmin Moor and Brown Willy. Rain started just as we reached the top. Met Colin. Wet descent to motorhome. Managed to drag ourselves out again for aMeer informatie
Reiziger Congrats on getting over Bodmin Moor - getting close to the Devon border. Fantastic progress. I love trig pillars, maybve something to do with me being a retired Land Surveyor. In the old days you had to drag heavy measurimg equipment (and batteries) up to the trigs. GPS has made them redundant now.
Reiziger I’m a Trig point lover. We walked 100 metres out of our way for this one. Not sure how many more we’ll see. I’ll keep a tally for you!

Storm Noah ensured a wet and windy day with added sleet and hail. At least it was at the back of us mostly. Launceston was a nice old town ( up a hill!) and a pastie shop. Passed the 100miles and leftMeer informatie
