Cornish Rain at last!

Day 18 – 7th June 2010 Newquay to Polzeath

At last – some proper Cornish rain today! Like it rained horizontally at 30 mph for most of the day. My Ron Hill rain-suit leaked like a sieve – might take it back if can remember where I bought it in 1993. Otherwise quite a good day as route fairly gentle gradients. Team met me at Mawgan Porth for a quick coffee, Porthcothan for lunch and finally at Trevone. They had also seen me run pass Bedruthan Steps where they had a generous reception at the Carnewas Cafe – even supplying 2 wonderful Cornish Pasties for free! After Trevone I ran into Padstow just in time for the ferry across to Rock. Meanwhile Ro and John had arranged an excellent B&B at the Fourways Inn at St. Minver before picking up one tired old man at Polzeath. A long soak in the bath was followed by a first class meal and chat with some very nice people, including Jamie the Landlord who was also kind enough to give us a good discount on the bill. Today’s mileage about 27.
