A lazy Sunday sampling the hostelries of Newquay meant that now, Monday, we would do some more motorbiking. Of we six, we band of brothers, we happy few, two would be leaving the gang today. Mr GW was needed urgently back at work. Mr BG's bike needed hospitalisation so he would be leaving the happy band too. Double whammy.
Can't read this stuff? Then just click on the pic or ANY pic!!! Same with the maps!
GW and BG set off northeast. TE, AM, MF & JM set off southwest. Land's End was the first goal.

The weather stayed fine - mostly - and we were rewarded by fine views at Land's End. This is Longships Lighthouse.
Next goal was Newlyn via Porthcurno.
