Cornwall Highlights

As a bit of traveller I have seen a lot of sights and been to some great places but Cornwall surprised with a couple of delights. Polperro which is just the quaintest sleepy Cornwall fishing village (well probably not so sleepy in July and August). http://www.polperro.org My photo above to give you an idea of what you might expect. Also a visit to Bedruthan Steps (its a spectacular beach) is a must. You take a 100 or so steps down a cliff to a secluded beach that completely disappears at high tide (beware people do get stuck !!) see my photo below that again I hope gives you a bit of an idea. http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/main/w-vh/w-visits/w-findaplace/w-carnewasandbedruthansteps/

Never forget how to ride a bike ....

It's been 24 years since John or I have been on a bike. So during our holiday in Cornwall, we thought we should see if we still knew how. We biked down the Camel Trail from Wadebridge to Padstow (10 mile round trip), with the promise of a Rick Stein pasty in Padstow to keep us going. Once I'd got my head around the number of gears there are on a bike now - 3 was quite enough when I was a lass - we were off. John soon got his cycling legs back whilst I looked like a character straight out of one of Enid Blyton's Famous Five stories. All that was missing was lashings of ginger beer.
