Well it was Independence Day as we woke to the news of Brexit. I don't think anyone thought that would really happen. We will certainly remember where we were on this momentous occasion. Chaos as shares and the pound fell, London and Scotland very angry as they had voted remain. Another lovely day for a walk!
As we walked to the bus station Margaret had a go at stone balancing. We caught the bus to Zennor and spent a short time in the church looking for the carving of the Mermaid of Zennor. This is a Cornish folk tale that you can read about
here.

We were a bit uncertain how far we were going to walk today as we wanted to get as much done as possible before catching the bus at either Botallack or Cape Cornwall. The first part of the walk to Pendeen Watch was quite rocky and tricky to walk on. I managed to get one foot in a bog that didn't help.

Once past Pendeen we were well into tin mining country around Botallack. We had made good time so decided to press on as far as Cape Cornwall where we had to walk a mile inland to St Just to catch the bus back to St Ives.

We made it in good time for the bus and then had to wait half an hour as the bus was late! Sod's law.
We went straight to Wetherspoons in St Ives as we got off the bus and had a celebratory glass of wine with the meal as this was our last chance to celebrate together, only six miles of the coastal path left to do tomorrow.
