Cornwall 

On Sunday 5th October we left home and headed to Widdon Down where we joined the A30 and went west. Stopped just over the border into Cornwall to drain water out of the right hand rear light cluster! Perhaps when we had replaced a bulb the rubber seal had become twisted and let in water?

We left the A30 just past Jamaica Inn on Bodmin Moor and found a good parking place on the shore of Colliford Lake Reservoir.

Ann tried to make friends with the local horses.

We went for a walk along the shore and saw this heron.

Later the moon rose in the east and lit up the lake. However as night went on high winds got up and there was frequent very heavy rain.

On Monday morning 6th October we continued west along the A30 to Penzance where we stopped briefly for supplies before continuing to St Just in West Penwith where we stopped for a cup of tea in the town car park. Moving on a kilometre or so we found a really nice clifftop parking place at Carn Gloose.

A hundred metres or so from our parking place was this well preserved bronze age burial mound.

Cape Cornwall is just north of Carn Gloose. We walked down there.

There was rough sea around the cape. Here looking north.

Here looking back south towards our parking place on the cliff top.

On Tuesday 7th October we moved south east and found a good parking place on the outskirts of Porthleven - one of Ann's fairly numerous former home towns. Here she is in front of one of her old houses.

She was living in this house at the time her daughter Kerry was born.

Porthleven is a really nice little town with a working fishing harbour. There were still plenty of visitors around at this time of year.

As the day wore on we saw some good cloudscapes looking out to sea from our parking place.

On the morning of Wednesday 8th October we made a hurried departure from Porthleven as our toilet was about to overflow! Eventually we found a public toilet, emptied ours and stopped for breakfast.

Later in the day we visited National Trust Llanhydrock but unfortunately left the camera in the van so there are no photos of the house or garden.

Returned home to Widecombe via Tavistock and across Dartmoor.
