Day 30 – Hayle to Porthtowan 19.3.13

Lovely day to start with, and pretty easy walking conditions past Gwithian and round Godrevy point. But as we get beyond Portreath and approach Porthtowan, the clouds roll in and the rain hits us about 30 minutes shy of shelter (i.e. the pub). For the last 10 minutes as we descend into Porthtowan, it’s very heavy indeed, so we enter The Unicorn looking like the proverbial drowned rats. Fortunately, the bar is large and empty, and Colin isn’t due for 45 minutes, so we have the space and time to dry off, change some clothing, and have a couple of drinks and a sandwich before being collected and taken to Redruth station. About time to stop mentioning the time at which the train left Penzance!
