We're currently in Wadebridge, sat in a small, quiet cyber cafe. We're hoping to walk another 6 miles or so today.
We should hopefully get to Barnastaple by day 9.
Ed and I spent last night at a campsite - got a chance to shower and freshen up. Weather was mostly misty yesterday and quite damp, but it's making up for that today and the sun is merciless - so we can't win! :)
Wadebridge is situated at the base of the Camel estuary (google map it!) which is gorgeous! We should get some pictures up on this site by day 16-17 by the way as that's our first day off! Hopefully, they'll be well worth the wait.
Cornwall continues to be beautiful - the sea water is turquoise and clear - just like being abroad. It just makes you think why go abroad when we have so much spectacular scenery here in Britain.
Well, I'm off now - must keep marching. Speak to you guys soon when we have more news.
Carlie.
p.s. a huge apology to Nat and Parf in advance for our smell when they pick us up from Chepstow on day 15/16. Sorry! We have tried to keep as fresh as pos
Day 3. Have made it as far as St. Ives this morning and we are hoping to reach Portreath by the end of today. The weather is superb today which has been really good for morale as the past two days have been foggy and damp. Am annoyed with Cornwall County Library here at St. Ives though as they won't let me go on facebook. I feel like a limb is missing - bit dramatic I know.
Land's End really felt like the end of the world - no man's land, with little landmarks, houses, people (excluding the tourist centre) - although we didn't get to see the end of the land very clearly due to the weather :(. Cornwall is very green and very pretty and reminds me of Wales.
St. Ives is a really quaint little town and I recommend it for a long weekend holiday. So many litttle shops to mull around, a harbour, plenty of restaurants, a beach and lovely surroundings.
Think the plan is to stock up on morale food today - I'm going to buy some Boost bars and some crisps. Am feeling thinner and stronger and fitter already. If I don't lose weight at the end of this, I don't know what it's going to take!
Will be in touch again in the next few days when we come to another cyber cafe!
Carlie.
