**TRANSPORT**
We got off the Greyhound bus and were supposed to walk to the hostel. Luck was on out side and the kind Greyhound driver brought us to our hostel. If he didn't it would have been about a 10-15 minute walk, which would have seemed miles with a large suitcase, rucksack and 2 small rucksacks (we would have struggled).

Cornwall- A lovely Place to Visit
Cornwall boast of a very mild climate compared to the rest of Great Britain. It is situated down in the South West of England.
It is also steeped in history and at the time of the Domesday Survey in 1086 the population of Cornwall was around about 25,000 which seems a lot too me.

At first it seemed ok, not overly steep. As we proceeded, I tried to envisage the steepness of this so called descending trek.
I needed to set my mind at rest, so I stopped a passer by; to acquire more Gen on the local beach, Millendreath.
He confirmed what the farmer's wife had told me earlier. Its 2 miles from here, the man answered, but it's very steep nearer the bottom.
We carried on and sure enough it did begin to descend dramatically. It got steeper and steeper and the trees became more and more dense, I felt this could be the spanner in the works.
I began to reflect, I asked myself, will it be capable to see in the dark on our return journey, with this much ...
