BSCC St. Ives

Monday partly cloudy very foggy to start.

Today's goal was Lands End. Reputed to be tacky. It is, but not much.

The coast has definitely flattened out. More frenquent ups and downs but each rise is lower than the North Coast.

The walk today is, according to the book, a "good" walk. It is except for a) two terrifying vertical ascents in the b)gale force winds, c)rock climbing on our hands and knees- we would have turned back at this point but the return would have been too hard. Also, dangerous mineshafts left over from the recent tin mining era. No choughs spotted. Some guillemots.

Lunch in Sennen Cove before heading to Lands End. A ham and mayo (WTF?) sandwich please and leave off the mayo. No problem. Arrived with no mayo but a very generous amount of butter was added. No concept that just mustard, as indicated on the menu, was sufficient.

Good lesson on fishing and mining in this area from the taxi driver who took us back to the hotel.

Beer. Tribute Cornish pale ale 3.65 Boogs. Lighter than Doombar.

QB had Dourade.
