Really bad weather

28 April 2008 | Charlestown to Gorran Haven
Pip
The weather isn't so good today and having found the first part of the walkway is closed, I decided the destination today is Mevagissey, but on the back road. Well, again I made Mevagissey by 1pm (must be getting fitter) so keep going.
Having been pleased with myself earlier, when a big rain squall came in, I was happily having a cup of team. Not so lucky this afternoon: about 1/2 mile out of Gorran Haven, the skies opened. Rain and hail. Lots of hail.
So I'm now staying here for the night.
