Depressed yesterday because I was unable to walk the coast path from Carbis Bay to Botallack. If only I had started a month earlier; then we had several weeks of high pressure & glorious walking conditions - since I started the walk a low pressure system seems to have taken residency in our region. Torrential rain last night. Perhaps a low pressure system is hanging over me.
Todays walk was wonderful - the strong winds had abated & the weather was bright - great for photos. However I had just reached Porthcurno when it started to bucket it down and the near gale force winds returned. Let's hope tomorrow's weather is much improved.
Lyn was able to look around the Minack Theatre site without the normal hordes of people - very impressed. Tonight we are "wild camping" courtesy of the Minack Theatre.
Melv, what exactly is the definition of a 'cape'? Cape Cornwall is supposed to be the only cape in G.B.
Now, now, thats enough of all the negativity about low pressure etc.........................you need to get back to talking about positive things such as blisters and sore bits,
ReplyDeleteP.S. how did the amputation go?
Pleased to see you are battling on Pete. We have been watching the TV weather forecasts each evening and thinking about you both. I didn't know what to do with myself the first day back home - withdrawal symptoms - just had to go for a walk and then have a large gin and tonic! Can't think where all that came from!
ReplyDeleteNever heard of Cape Cornwall, until now, but I knew Cape Wrath is in NW Scotland. Can't find out why some promontaries are called capes, though I think a headland usually ends in cliffs whereas a peninsula thins where it joins the main body of land ........ asleep yet?
All the best and keep up the good work.
