Looking along the pier
towards the promenade.

August 2002. It may have been busier in the
summer, but look at that sky.

A collection of sailing
dinghies gathered for one of the regular international yacht club

 |
 |

|
Another beauty spot in Snowdonia |
July 2006 and this is the first rain we
have seen since March (though I don't suppose the locals hereabouts can
say the same) |
A wider view of that storm. |
 |
 |
 |
|
Difficult to spot
through the haze in this picture but
even the view to sea is marred with windmills.

One of the longest piers in
Britain has now been restored |
Its still a couple of miles
short at low tide however.
 |
Now that's what you call a
beach |
 |
 |
 |
|
The long walk back.
|
Almost there. |
On a clear day you can see
the Blackpool Tower from here. No sign of the sea, but there is a lake on
the right.  |

To Liverpool .... eventually. |
The sea is there ... really. |

The prestigious
Eden Project near St.
Austell and the reason for my visit to the area. |
The coastal path From Lands End to Sennen
Cove. |
If you are wondering why this beautiful
beach is deserted, then you should see the car park charges. |
 |
 |
 |
|
That beach may be deserted but there are
a few clowns surfing! |

A pleasant oasis from the grasping nature
of the county - Tregarton Park camp site near Mevagissey |
 |
 |
 |
|
The sign says it all. |
Sheltering from the weather near
Bedruthen Steps - the car park for which, incidentally, was locked. |
Escape to Devon and the tranquillity of
Dartmoor where there are no car park charges and no wheel clampers.
There's even an honesty box at the visitor centre. You wouldn't find
that in Cornwall. |
