Planet Earth is Wet

I ended up in Perranporth last night, doing 16 miles which I’m pleased about but it’s peeing it down. Yesterday was calm, a shift in the wind direction to the south east and the hundreds of surfers had no waves coming in to this north westerly facing coast.
I’ve done over 210 miles. I’m staying at a b&b type arrangement tonight, Sue and Steven the hosts are brilliant. I got a soaking this morning and needed a roof and some drying out. Georgie and Maggie’s acting as my back up team sourced the nicest people in Cornwall and I’m staying at their place tonight. I’ve already had a bath! A bath!!
My feet are beginning to heal up but there’s still a nasty blister on blister arrangement on my right instep. Better each day slowly but surely. I’ve pulled a muscle in my left thigh so I’m hobbling a bit on occasions but it’s ok. I weighed myself after the bath. I’ve lost a stone – TA DADDLY DAD DA DAAAA!!! Normally I’d evacuate my alimentary and strip to nowt on and spit out to get to minimal weight but this time I just strolled on the scales and wow there we go.

I posted a photo of my mate Antonia. Here’s one of my mates Georgie and Jet in Spain 6 weeks ago. My lovely kids. br />

Today was a struggle. I wanted to stay in my sleeping bag. I did 13 miles uphill and down dale and eventually made it here. I’m glad I made the effort. =”https://bladegoeswest.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/img_0131.jpg”>IMG_0131.JPG

The colours are fantastic, as I’ve mentioned before, and these views are beyond belief on occasions.

The elves aren’t here though I’m afraid. Maybe I had a bit of contact in North Devon on the edge of Exmoor in the forest. I don’t know. I thought I heard summat. It’s too busy and bare in Cornwall. They’ve gone to the Grey Havens for good.

    You’re making good progress. Hope I don’t hold you up too much. I am planning to see you at the railway station in Penzanne around 2pm on the 2nd if that’s ok. I’m self sufficient but let me know if you want me to bring anything.
