SWCP: Porthleven to Mullion Cove

 


Laura drove us down to Cornwall - it took six hours, with just a half hour stop for Mabel and a coffee. 
Arrived! Yay!

Mabel’s been such a good girl all the way here

By the time we arrived, it was raining, but not too hard. Mabel was very excited by the rabbits just past Porthleven, and it was hard to hold her back. Laura turned round after an hour to walk back and get the car, and I forged on to Mullion Cove where she was going to pick me up. It took me another couple of hours. All quite nice scenery, but in a haze of rain. 



Overlooking Mullion Cove - nearly there!

I got quite damp despite my freshly re-waterproofed gore-tex coat. Why, oh why, do they never live up to the promises? 

Bit annoying that my down gilet got wet. Fortunately I didn’t feel cold as I was constantly on the move. It was only a 15 minute drive to our Airbnb, which is lovely. We cooked ourselves salmon for dinner. Better weather tomorrow, but it’s raining all night so there will be mud galore.
