Confusing names

It has to be said, that surprisingly, we haven't seen too much on the wildlife front so far. Plenty of deer prints - but no deer. A bit of excitement this morning when mum saw a big dog fox, turns out he's being fed by one of Sue's neighbours, so not sure if that counts. Mind you, there was the biggest Nuthatch in the world on Sue's bird feeders this morning.

A bit of a cloudy start, that was later to turn to a fine mizzle - enough to wet us but not enough to dampen our spirits. Mostly on old railway track today and it became a 'no' day.

The Camel Trail  - no camels
Bluebell Wood - no bluebells
Shell Wood - no shells
BAA members only - no sheep

At the end of the track, which although easy going, was significant in it's lack of variety, there was a wonderful little ECO cafe, called Snails Pace, where ma and pa had coffee, and I had a lot of fuss made of me (and some Burns).

True to form we overwalked a mile (they seem to have got this thing about shortening tomorrow's walk, which lengthens today's - not too sure about the logic but they seem happy enough), and then we walked back to the village (another mile) to The Old Inn at St Breward where they had a really good and substantial carvery lunch. Odd thing was, mum said she had never known a carvery sold by the plate size - small, medium and large!

Back to the B&B to prepare ourselves for the crossing of Bodmin Moor tomorrow - the land of big cats, smugglers, and bog. Oh goody!
