Left Burley about 10 am and headed south west. Lunch at Lyme Regis with thousands of other grey haired day trippers and then a little detour of about 5 miles to Branscombe the village where the pottery of the same name originated-very tight roads and a super trickey ( ++++) hill start at a blind intersection with several hundred kilos of people plus about 100 kilos baggage in one car –the smell of burnt clutch and burnt rubber lingered for some time!! 3 back seat drivers didn’t help!!
Quick stop in Plymouth to see Francis Drake on Plymouth Hoe. This trip triggers lots of history things to read or re read. Lots of naval activity in this part of the world –Sprite and bigger helicopters flying around and Dutch frigate entering Plymouth Harbour. Could imagine Edward and Jane Tucker and their children getting on the William Bryan from a small quay there in 1840.
Crossed into Cornwall and then it started raining about Lisgard. Two large wind farms on the hills-real spooky looming out of the mist and rain. Got to Dave and Sylvia’s at Redruth about 6.30 pm. Very comfortable and room to move which was great.
