Back via Cheddar

Monday was time to bid farewell to Cornwall. It’s almost 300 miles from Marazion back to Frodo’s storage facility, which is possible but less than appealing; we are getting into the 150-mile jumps frame of mind. Halfway back put as…

Whilst leaving Frodo overnight at Mr. Lola’s house near Stroud on our way down, we left the fridge running overnight on gas, something we very rarely do. Unfortunately, in the morning Frodo’s fridge was not on – the gas had…

Back to St. Agnes

We awoke to another decent morning. With another trip into St. Agnes on the cards, we decided to take a different route, this time heading up St. Agnes Beacon itself. Francine had done this little ascent on the afternoon of…
