From Tintagel we travelled south on some really narrow (single lane) backroads to a few of the nearby local 'surfing' (yes surfing) towns. From here down to Lands End on the west coast of Cornwall it is renowned for its surf beaches. It was strange seeing surf shops in the tiny towns set amongst houses that were hundreds of years old.
We spent hours driving down these really narrow roads exploring the countryside and covered quite a few miles (several of them in reverse looking for a good place to pass). By the time we got to Lands End the rain had finaly caught up with us but that was OK as Cathy had to rest her foot anyway. We called in on one final coastal town called Mousehole (pronounced Mouzole). It's easy to see how this town got its name, because youd need to be the size of a mouse to fit down most of the streets in this place!
After spending some time looking around Penzance (as in the Pirates of Penzance) we set sail (so to speak) for Plymouth to see our mates Marie and Cyril. We arrived in Plymouth later in the day so we didn't catch up with them that night.
