Bluebells, summer visitors and Hornblower

06 May 2008 | Gunwalloe and Penzance
Pip
Three days, I stayed with Melanie. We visited a beautiful bluebell wood. I rested my leg and helped her get ready for the tenants and move to the other house at Helm's Deep. Mel left on Saturday morning to join Fiona at Portsmouth, dropping me off at Gunwalloe, and I walked back to Helm's Deep via the coast path. My leg held out well for the first two hours, but on a nasty decline, it started to hurt me again. It took me another two hours to drag myself to Helm's Deep. Ice-packs and a mammoth Hornblower DVD session helped.
The next day I walked from Helm's Deep to Penzance. Having had enough at this point, as the weather was turning again, I jumped on a train back to Torquay. The rest of the path will have to wait for another day.
