Today we will ride down to Lands End. We wake up Early - 0530 Early! The good weather has given way to Fog and Drizzle. the temperature has dropped to about 11c and It's definitely not ideal riding weather. We don't have time to reschedule so we're going for it anyway.

Steve is Smiling anyway

Frank decides he would rather stay at the Bunkhouse and watch the Monte Carlo F1 on the telly.

I load up and I'm glad I just added some more lighting.


Liam


Glad I brought my Fog City Pinlock and clear visor.


On Dartmoor the visibility is down to a few meters in places.

Crossing the Tamar into Cornwall



Italian Bike with Italian plates.

Stopping for Fuel for Steve again....


Waiting for the others to catch up with Uncle nob head and Steve

Rodger

Col

We're getting close now.

Arrived but you can't see the sea.

Murph's helmet...





As we were doing this ride for Charity (The Air Ambulance service), they let us ride our bikes round to the famous 'Lands End' Sign. Very generous.... They only Charged us £20 for the privilege!

We waited our turn and watched the other visitors pay for the privaledge of taking a picture.



Then it was our turn.

I took this one...

Then I handed my camera to some tourist so he could get me in the picture as well. Oh, how we all laughed as Alan shouted 'he's robbing your fookin camera!




This sign made me laugh...




Then the fog cleared just enough to see the sea..







Then we headed off to see St Michaels mount, and stopped for Fuel for Steve - again!

There it is


You can walk over at Low Tide


Still pissing down

At This point we split into 2 groups. There was Rodger, Murph, Liam, Alan, and Lyn who headed back to the Bunkhouse (100 miles or so) for their usual afternoon knap at their age. And then Me, Col, Steve and Andy the Hardcore riders headed off to the west coast for a look at Padstow and Port Isaac.


It was really pissing down now, but it was worth it.





Port Isaac is Featured in the TV programme 'Doc Martin'. AKA Port Wenn.


The steets are tiny!

In the program this is the Chemist run by Mrs Tischell



Doc Martins 'house'


We had a nice coffee here at 'Berts' restaurant.











Still raining as we headed back to Princetown. Steve had another Fuel Emergency and i had to find an open Petrol station with the the satnav.

But there was a glimpse of sunshine between the clouds and fog.






Crossing the River Tamar again



Back at the Bunkhouse it was another Evening in the Plume of Feathers. I had several 'Proper Jobs' and it was a good laugh.
