Cornwall

[nick crisp]

So, did the "What Did You Do With Your Fazer" bit, but for anyone who loves the place, here's some more piccies taken on my recent trip.


Stayed at this B&B at Golberdon, just north of Callington on the A388. Off the main road, you go along a couple of typical, tiny little Cornish lanes to get to it, and it's very peaceful there. They welcome bikers, the husband and son ride themselves:





Peering over the cliff edge at Rame Head:





St. Germanus church, just inland of Rame Head.

Looe:





Love all the old cottages in these seaside towns, and the little alleyways that wind their way between the 'main' streets:

Brace for impact!  :lol  :





Now if I had some decent photo software, i think I could do something with this pic; I like the dark sky and rocks contrasting with the light sand and sparkling waves:





Charlestown coast:

When you walk the coast path, you come across many relics from the tin mining industry, some quite spooky with a truly haunted feel, especially as at many of these sites there'll be no one around but you and the wind. Not quite the same atmosphere when you're next to a road, even one like the coast road near St. Just. But tried to capture something of it here:








And if you turn around to face inland from the same spot, the hill rises to this rocky tor:





Couple more taken at St. Mawes castle:








Guns, guns and more guns! :














Lizard Point tries to get in on the Land's End act:





Some of my better shots of Polperro:








A couple that I sketched way back on my coast path walk in '98:














And I'll let the coast path have the final word - it really is one of the most stunning parts of Britain in my opinion:





A great trip, brought back loads of wonderful memories. I may be heading north soon, but Cornwall will always have a place in my heart
