"Nothing but flowers"
Yesterday's 8am start was a good wake-up, a steep straight climb from Cape Cornwall cove to the top of the cliff.  Phew!  Another beautiful day from start to finish - I couldn't wish for better weather.  Met Helen for a coffee at Sennen Cove and reached Land's End shortly after.  Stopped there to take a pic but it was tacky, tatty and full of tourists so got out quickly and back onto the deserted path.  This only lasted til Porthcurno 6 miles later where I passed loads of tourists in flip-flops tackling the vertical rocky steps down to the beach from the Minack theatre.

Got to Lamorna at 5pm just before the icecream lady packed up and had a double scoop ginger choc and mint choc in a choc waffle wafer and sat on a rock to eat it.  Mmm ...  Then through Mousehole to Newlyn at 6.30.  Found a quiet layby away from the coast for overnight parking and to assess my new injury.  How can I put it?  I have chafing.

Today is Day 14, fairly easy going with a tough bit in the middle and aiming for Mullion Cove.  Found an anti-chafing gel in Tesco's so testing that.
