Day 55 Monday 10th June
Another day of mixed weather! The walk today started from the car park at the end of the Camel Trail and involved some good old Cornish Hills!
Quite a mixed walk today along the old coach road and past the Cornish Services, then onto the Goss Moor Trail just after the old Iron Bridge. That is the bridge that regularly had lorries wedged under it before the dual carriageway was opened avoiding it. Traffic in and old of Cornwall was stopped on many occasions for this reason.
As I took a short break in the car park at the start of the trail for a drink l spotted two red deer bounding through the undergrowth. Too quick for me to take their photo!
The trail was very quiet and I soon got to the far end of it and passed the Screech Owl Sanctuary.
Then came a walk through Indian Queens and Fraddon and I was excited to see my first glimpse of the sea on the north coast especially as the sun was shining on it despite the fact the clouds and showers were with me.
Ancient and modern!
Then it was on to St Enoder and narrow country lanes with high hedges for a few miles. I pressed on to Mitchell where I was picked up. About 18 miles walked.
I need to stop walking as far because I am getting very close to the end of the walk and I have too much time left!
We decided to drive to Perranporth for the evening. Yes, you are right, it was another Wetherspoons, The Green Parrott. I am not writing an ongoing advert for Wetherspoons it is just that the real ale is cheap and the food is reasonably priced.
At the beginning of this trip the majority of nights I cooked a meal in the camper to save money! As we are getting towards the end I am being rewarded by not having to cook so often, but our budget dictates where we can eat.
