What are you all up to

Three good days, although the weather has been rather mixed with thick mist at times but also some sunshine.

Have walked in Penrose estate down to Loe Bank and the shore....very hard going on the course sand there.

Had both Covid booster and Flu jabs before heading over to Cape Cornwall for a couple of walks, and then over to Bonallack to see probably the most famous engine houses in the world: the 36″ Crown’s pumping engine and 24″ Pearce’s Whim, as well as the other remnants of the mining that went on around there.

Today called in at Philps in Hayle for the essential pasties before carrying on to the NT's Godrevy car park where we walked up to see the seals, and onto the beach to give Flyte a good run on the sand.

What about a taxi? You could probably request one with a sliding door that might make it easier to get everything in.

Thanks for idea,

As we do not have Rosa now I am missing our walks , so the idea of walking into the City Centre  ,will also give me the exercise that I am at the moment missing

If I have had enough may get a cab back, 

We know it well JV, cycle it there and back. It will be quite a walk, and there are a few gates to wriggle through, one or two tight with a bike, so depending on how long/ wide your OH’s buggy is, you might want to check things out solo. There was a lot of work going on at one point on the path, we had to turn back and try a different route, although this ought to be complete now. That involved hauling our bikes up some steps, so be wary. Might be better doing it when not under pressure to get to an appointment. It’s a lovely walk/ride, take a picnic and binoculars👍

Glad you ok Millie👍 So sorry to hear about your friend Brue, very upsetting for all concerned.

Reading your adventures with envy Nellie, our week down there was way too short for us, but we cherry picked our days out, and dropped very lucky with the weather. Wondered if you saw any Peregrines at Botallack, it’s a place we usually see them, along with Chough’s?

We are just thinking of a short Winter tour. Quite fancy heading over to Carlisle area, then working our way back via Hadrian’s Wall road. 🤔 Some good things to see along this route, lots of indoor stuff. 

Not sure where to post this really, but it’s a lovely story, puts our touring efforts firmly to shame. Long may they tour........👏👏👏

I recall one of my scans prior to an op for testicular cancer one of the staff kept saying 'wake up Alan' in order to give me instructions 

Brian, I don't have such a great memory really, in fact I'm an unreliable witness as I thought the first visit had been at your home, strange how the memory process works! 

Lovely end to the day here, sunny skies and two hot air balloons drifting over. We've seen a lot of them recently, maybe special presents for people who couldn't use them during Covid. Not much wind today so slow progress. 🌞🎈

Anyway Covid is definitely around here...immediate neighbour has it and also our local shop which has limited opening hours at the moment. Trying to avoid all possible contacts as want to get away to see the family fairly soon!

Many years ago when we were much younger we used to cycle into the city centre by following  the railway, just wondered how long it took if walking it is about 3.5miles ,think we did that this morning when we went for the paper at Tesco Express  then we came back  to the site via the sailing lake, ,called in at the Nene Park farm shop, buggy friendly? OH still managed to take out the end of one of the shelves

Ps I did warn the shop staff it may not be buggy friendly for every one

JVB It might be worth checking with one of the site wardens if you see any of them about? Or maybe check with the staff at the Visitor Centre.
