I’m beginning to get used to this bus travel lark. Once again we decided to catch the excellent bus service from right outside our Godrevy campsite and ride the 35 minutes or so into St. Ives, just for something to…

Very little to report about today except that the weather was pants. We spent most of the day sheltering in Frodo while he rocked and rolled on his suspension. The campsite was due a visit from a fish ‘n’ chip…
