A long day

26 April 2008 | Looe to Fowey

When I left in the morning, my target was Polperro about 5 miles. A bit shorter, but with very sore feet, I'm OK with that.
The walk out of Looe was truly stunning, a beautiful day with a long up and down track arriving at Polperro (in the pic) by 1.00. Feeling fit so I decided to keep going. Polruan, Fowey, is another 7 miles.
Arrived once again on the stumps that are my feet, just in time to see the last ferry pulling in to Polruan (6.55pm). Phew! A quick trip across Fowey harbour to another night in another Ship Inn (not very nice).
