Being
on a camp site with electricity I was able to have my CPAP machine
with me. However the night was a cold one; After a couple of hours I
took the thing off as it was just making me colder and colder.
I
got up at 6.45am and spent a little while looking at Facebook; the
camp site had wi-fi. There were several piccies from people getting
ready to go on the mission which had been organised to go to the
Natural History Museum today. I'd had to sadly declline that one.
Much as I was enjoying Cornwall I was sad to have missed the London
trip. Sadly I couldn't so both.
But
Nick was soon up and about and cooking brekkie. And a rather good
brekkie it was too.
With
washing up done we set off caching again. We went back to the woods
were we had stopped yesterday and we got going. On the other side of
those woods we found a rather large disused airfield. I say
"disused"; the horses and sheep living there seemed
to be making good use of the place.
We
cached like things possessed; eventually we all felt hungry, and so
had a five minute break. It was a lovely day and we found a rather
beautiful spot where we scoffed our sandwiches and admired the views.
Pausing
only briefly to rescue two lambs which were running loose on the
roads we found cache after cache until we arrived at Phoenix Mill; a
now disused tin mine. We all agreed to have a little break whilst we
played tourist. I for one really liked looking round the tin mine; it
brought back memories of "Poldark".
We
were on a roll, but soon it was time to stop. We'd arranged to meet
some Cornish friends for the evening, and having found one hundred
and thirty one caches (a new personal best) we made our way
back to camp. Having found our friends they led the way to a nearby
pub where we had a rather good meal (and a couple of pints too!)
Back
to camp and (once the young lovers camping nearby had finished
fornicating in the facilities) I had my shower and was in bed for
11pm.
