It was another nice day – no fog and a good sunrise.
After stopping off in St Austell for bacon butties and tea we went into Mevagissey.
On the way back to the campsite we detoured to The Tearoom at Tresillian Garden Centre for a Cornish cream tea (again, we did not miss last year either).

It was an unpromising, wet start to the day, which caused us to go out and get a cooked breakfast – pancakes, sausage, syrup and tea.
In between the showers we made our way down to Land’s End where the weather cleared and we got in several miles walking along the cliff tops.
The first (and last) trig point!
it rained hard most of last night, so before getting up and seeing just how wet things are, it was time for tea.

This is the view from our tents, where we are sitting out drinking tea, on the last weekend in October.

Last week the BBC weather forecast was predicting strong winds for this weekend – yesterday there was a breeze when we put the tents up. By the time we went to bed it was absolutely still. The same this morning my tent is not moving at all – no wind. It made it very easy to make my early morning tea. Unlike last year.
Set up – no rain – staff excellent here, they sorted out our favourite pitch. Now it is time for that tea my son promised me!

Not the most spectacular sunrise, but I was out early enough today, walking along the Water Rail Way (7.44am) for the sunrise. The clouds were the most interesting element of this shot.

I used my Sierra Cup with a lid this week to boil the water for my tea.
The lid was a success, it took two minutes to boil the water and the lid sat on the cup OK. No flies in the water. Keeping the lid on the tea also helped to keep it warm longer.
This is a good addition to my outdoor kit, next week I am going to cook in it.
Do you know that the iPhone dictionary does not recognise the word “lid”, substituting “kid” instead. This can lead to some interesting sentences if you do not notice Apple’s substitution!
