Walking

A grey day in Newquay

It may have been raining but Jeremy and I had a great day in Newquay walking along the cliff tops. As with all good walking days it included an English Breakfast – this one was the “Small” from Donna’s Cafe by the station.

honestly she listed this on her menu as the “Small All Day Breakfast”

We finished off the day watching a couple videos in the car, eating salami, crackers, tinned pears, homemade Cornish chocolate fudge and drinking Chai tea – but not all at once.

Walking and Camping Photos The Viking Way

It has been an great weekend for the weather, I was sitting by the lake at the campsite until late last night and only needed to use my down sleeping bag as a quilt overnight a big difference from the Peak District trip last weekend.

I carried a tin of food rather than a dehydrated meal – the extra weight was worth it – tasty “Lamb Big Soup “

Walking – The Viking Way

With the end if the summer camping season rapidly approaching, and with the next two weekends booked with a server change over for a client, I have planned a short backing trip to the regular Camping and Caravan Club site near Woodhall Spa using the Viking Way.

This is also a busy weekend as I have to finish a proposal for a client to provide an integrated email solution between an office in the UK and locations in Southern Africa both in the cities and in more remote places – so using our cloud server I am planning to work that this evening on my iPhone.

This sign is not as accurate as it could be – it looks like the path follows the line of the hedge, when actually the path is marked and heads across the middle of the field.

the sign is at the junction shown in the map clip as you approach the abbey ruins from Fiskerton

the path is very distinct when looking back
