Day 19 (April 21) Porthtowan to Carbis Bay
Today started with threatening black clouds & was very windy especially along the cliffs from Porthtowan to Portreath. After the climb out of Portreath there was a lovely level walk high above the cliffs to Hell's Mouth, Godrevy and beyond. At Gwithian I descended and walked the magnificent Gwithian & Hayle Sands to Hayle where I was met by Steve, Pat, John & Chris. It is great to get support and we walked together to Carbis Bay where John ferried me to join Lyn at the campsite.
No such support from Falmouth police - they issued a ticket for saying the motorhome was causing an obstruction. I could legally have parked the motorhome on the road opposite our house but that would have made it difficult for the buses that use this route. So I parked the motorhome partially on the pavement to avoid this. Pedestrians could still use the path although wheelchair users might have to put their wheels on the grass by the pavement. It is ludicrous that common sense gets me a ticket!

Ah you see you've made a big mistake. If you had a 50year old motor home that looked like crap, with no tax, insurance and bald tyres, coupled with 25 dogs and 12 long haired kids under the age of 2, have never done a days work in your life, then you could have parked where you like and would probably have been paid to dump your litter in the street .............ooops does that make me sceptical about modern society?
ReplyDeleteBest wishes.
