An excellent day’s walking of 20 miles and ascended height of just under 6000 feet \ud83d\ude42 with an overall average speed of 2.2mph (including stops).<\/p>\n

A cloudy day with some mist the sun came to join me at lunch time but rapidly disappeared again to be replaced by a heavy shower at the end. But overall good walking weather.<\/p>\n

The route took in many pretty & isolated sandy coves with the major tourist centre of Megavissey where I had my pasty and some rather yummy ginger & dark chocolate ice cream \ud83d\ude42 Oh how I love walking so that I can eat what I like!<\/p>\n

\"Badger<\/a>Amazing selection of wildlife today including a pair of badger cubs who were totally unafraid of me and a game bird that I almost trod on<\/a>\u00a0before it squawked off. I then went past the old home of A.L.Rowse <\/a>with great wood carvings in the gardens, a totally idyllic setting.<\/p>\n

I’m stopping at the Old Cooperage tonight in Charlestown pleasant enough but no WiFi so in The Rashleigh Arms <\/a>enjoying the fish & chips with free WiFi.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow is going to be a day off to visit The Eden Project<\/a>.<\/p>\n
