About Me

I've recently retired and I've been doing long distance walks for some years now - this one is the biggest yet though.

Seventeen miles, zero degrees.

Clocked up 17 miles today on the walk from St Day to Mitchell.  Along with the scenery there were some strange yet beautiful smells from the local blossoms and flowers.  Cornwall is famous for its apples - to make cider - and I am pretty certain some of the beautiful scents were coming from apple blossoms.

It was 0 degrees last night!  Absolutely freezing.  Thankfully the very kind owners of the campsite upgraded the canvas tent to a wooden "tent" for free.  If you want a holiday in Cornwall, I recommend you book with these guys.

Refuge from the Cold.
I have another big walk on Thursday before taking a rest day Friday.

Oh Ray I'm really jealous. The snow here in Finland is only just melting and I've always wanted to stay in one of those hut things. The thing I am happy to let you hold on to is the walking. Have a good rest day. Well done and love to Anne Marie. Hil
