Day 25 – Penzance to Treen Cliff 13.11.12

Not the best of mornings – dull with threatening clouds – but it is November and the rain holds off for most of the day. Again, the early sunset could be a problem and we therefore avoid inspecting Gwynne’s cottage in Mousehole even though it would involve just a 200 yard diversion. After Mousehole, progress becomes quite slow because of damp/slippy underfoot conditions and, as on day 23, we finish the day in darkness just beyond Treen Cliff. From there, the walk up the road to Treen is undertaken with head torch (more to be seen than to see), but at last we arrive at the Logan Rock Inn for ciders, discussions about local mayoral elections, and meeting the estimable Les, who becomes our chauffeur for the next 24 hours. This initially involves driving us to our B&B, picking us up 45 minutes later to get back to the Logan Rock for supper, and then – after some wonderful cod and a few more drinks – returning us to the B&B. John lends his shirt to the landlady of the pub who knows Rob Cook for a photo.
