733 miles round cornwall :)

we've just come back from a week in cornwall in the van, we visited lots of ancient sites as well as some trips to the coast when the weather let up lol.

i've added all the sites we visited to the ancient places section of my website HERE

there's loads more pictures of cornwall on my myspace HERE

but here's a small selection :)...

here we are somewhere on bodmin :)



this is roche rock a weird little chapel built on a rock

busta got really smelly and foamy when he went into the foamy sea near lizard :)


we found lots of old mine pump houses on our travels and some quiet little coves


the weather just about let us get into our shorts and paddle in the sea lol


this is us at boscawen-un stone circle, a really magical little circle with a hedge all round it

si eating chips in penzance :)

this is at the top of carn galver, we ended up doing a 5+ mile hike through thorns, brambles and bracken to get to the nine maidens stone circle, ding dong mine and the men-an-tol

si had to do some perfect driving to get us through some of the tight spots :)

we visited rocky valley to see the carvings in the rock and left our stone along with everyone elses :)

on our way to bude we decided to go through a little place called millook by the coast. the road was marked as going steeply downhill into the village but not marked as steep coming out so i assumed it would be a more gradual drive back up... we went down the 30% hill and found that the road out was also 30% and we had to go up it in our slow transit :( needless to say we didn't make it, here we are stuck in a lane halfway up. we might have just done it if the road hadn't ben wet but we'll never know as we have no plans to go back and try lol

look how steep it is :)

after the RAC turned up in a van and he had called for a tractor we got pulled to the top after 4 hours waiting around :( thank goodness for big tractors :)
