30 June – Saturday
The worst day of our trip, weatherwise. Thick fog all day, rain all day, wind and quite cool. We decided very quickly to give all the picturesque fishing villages a miss – bit hard to see in the weather. Ditto to the Eden Project – too wet to walk about outside in the rain, even with raincoats! Therefore, our first stop was at St Ives, a fishing village/town. The tide was out (as it is wherever we go!)
but the harbour did have sand. The coast must have amazing tides, because the water obviously comes right into the seawall along the edge of the roadway. Then it was the “scenic” route through the fog via many old Cornish mining villages and farms to Lands End, which is quite tacky with a large amusement centre built right on the point. It was blowing a gale and hailing, so it was a quick photo stop and back into the car and off to Penzance. Again, we didn’t even stop here as the weather was so unpleasant. By this time the traffic was really building up and we travelled rather slowly back to our accommodation.
