Cranking through Cornwall










I didn't quite realise what would be involved in a visit to the quaint Cornish fishing villages along the South West coast. A seemingly endless hell of 20 percent (+) climbs, squalls and gale force headwinds....perhaps I should have gone the other way around the coast!



Stopped at the circus that is Land's End for the obligatory photo with the signpost...and the Tardis....before following the coast around to the north. At least this side was a bit flatter, even if the wind was stronger. Spent several days cursing the wind, dodging the rain and exploring around the ruined tin mines and celtic stone circles that dotted the coastline.

Met Michelle briefly whilst battling through one of the Cornish squalls she has described when she stumbled upon our VICTORY 2008 Motobike Rally and stopped for a warm drink.

She still managed a big smile and headed off with all our best wishes.

Brave lady, magnificent achievement, ride safe Michelle!
