We had the best breakfast in our Fowey hostellery with lots of delicious fruit. We were in the delightful company of Will and Laura who has told us of it last night. They were like the Bonnie and Clyde on the run from Shepherds Bush for a few days testing out Cornwall's four poster beds! I had my heart set on a day at sea since we are coming up to Drake and Raleigh country with a trip up the Fowey Estuary in the morning and a sea trip to Palperro in the sfternoon. Martin was horrified that I should suggest not walking for a day. We had a lovely 45 minute trip up the Fowey seeing Daphne De Maurrier's house, the famous recording studios and the present day China clay loading station which moved away from Charlestown in the 70's. There was a Finnish ship being loaded which we later saw out at sea. On enquiring about a boat to Palperro Martin was delighted to hear that it was not possible today because the sea was too rough so we took a ferry across the river and got walking. It was a perfect walking day with a brisk wind behind us and a clear blue sky. The scenery was once more stunning but, oh dear, the going was tough. The 6 1/2 miles to Palperro took us almost 5 hours! On the way we met many one baby families with the young fathers doing the carrying - is it baby day, or something? We were having our third break at the top of yet another hill when hurtling down the path opposite came a man running wearing only shorts with a very tanned body. He must have been in his 70s. He was walking as he got up to us and only stopped long enough to say he was just doing a quick 8 mile circular run. It looked like a daily activity for him. Palperro is a beautiful village in a well sheltered cove. The cream tea was overpriced but we got some useful information. We had to find where we could camp. They are necessarily all inland a little upon the tops of the hills where it is almost flat. We had to walk about 4 miles but are now encamped in a very good site where the friendly people adjacent to us kindly gave us tea and seats as we put our tents. We showered after which Martin demonstrated that he has no handwashing skills whatsoever. A fellow camper told me that heavy rain is forecast for tonight. We have already had a shower and the sky looks threatning. Martin is trying to redeem his washing problem by doing the drying. He was better tonight at putting up his tent except for it being the wrong way round for the slope that we are on. Pity about Andy Murray not winning his Wimbledon Semi Final. At least we can all relax on Sunday, though!
