St Austell

3 November 2012 / Camping, Photography / camping, Cornwall, Photos 2012

We had a short walk around St Austell, this morning, to stock up on some supplies and to go to the bank, before heading out to the coast.

St Austell – Market House

Charlestown

This is a small port town near to St Austell where they used to ship china clay from and it is still a working harbour today. By the time Jeremy and I had finished our lunch it had started to rain – so I had to use the waterproof pouch to protect my iPhone whilst taking the pictures. The rain also shortened our planned walk.

Rainbow over St Mawes.

And then there was another rainbow. Taken on my iPhone 4 using the Pano app, just before the hail started.

Another night of rain but again it stopped in time for me to have my breakfast outside in the sunshine.

With the showers there was a rainbow over the tents whilst I was having coffee.

And here are the raindrops on my MSR Hubba tent.

Falmouth

31 October 2012 / Camping, Photography / camping, Cornwall, England, Photos 2012, tea

Once Jeremy was up we decided to spend a wet day in Truro, however the car parks were full – so we we t to Falmouth.

We found an excellent old fashioned department store, to shelter in whilst the rain was at its heaviest. Trago stocked everything, it had electric guitars, to kitchen stuff, furniture to shower stalls, to Christmas stuff to cosmetics – it really defies description. We bought some drysacks for backpacking, some beakers with snap on lids that fit neatly inside our Ti mugs and a small zippered pouch for tea bags, sugar etc.

With the day getting darker and wetter we decided to go back to the campsite for a triple bill of DVDs.

Mevagissey

30 October 2012 / Camping, Photography, Travel / camping, Cornwall, England, tea

Another good weather day following a night of on and off showers.

Mevagissey is great place to visit, even with all it’s tourist shops it is still a working fishing village, with character. It also has free attractions, something rare in Cornwall, a really good museum and an aquarium.

One thing to remember though is that the streets are one car wide so park in the first car park (on the left) you come to, it is only a couple of hundred metres to walk to the village and it is better than trying to drive on Mevagissey streets.

Back at the campsite we had tea and cinnamon doughnuts whilst sitting outside watching the sunset.
