St. Ives

Hi all.

From Lands, on monday end I just walk for an hour, because I was too nackered to continue. I slept in White sands, in Sennen. Recomended lodge with good prices, huge breakfast an very friendly staff.

The first walking day, on tuesday, yesterday, was quite frustrating. Footpaths in this part of the country are not the same as in the southeast. Many of them were closed and not very well signed posted. More than once I had to go back on my footsteps and find a different way.

The weather was very nice though.

I have learnt that I need to plan everyday on the map carefully, otherwise I will lose lots of time.

I used the tent for the first time. (Camping in Madron, North east of Penzance). Easy to pitch, and not very roomy, but big enough for the rucksack and myself. The only problem i have is condensation: this morning the inside of the tent was completely covered in water droplets that i had to wipe out. Advice on this problem would be more than welcome. Holding breath O/N is not an option.

I did not sleep very well. Actually, it was pretty bad, I was nine hours in the tent and I don't think I slept more than 4. But i had enough rest because i don't feel bad today.

I am in St. Ives now. It took me almost 4 hours from Madron. Walking was more fluid and therefore much more satisfying. It rained for 20 minutes and i used the poncho for the first time. Putting it on was a Mr Bean 10 minutes scene. No pictures of this. I think I know how to put it on now. I will walk one or two hours more today til the next camping, and hope for a good rest tonight.

I feel well in every sense. Mood is good and I am just normal tired.

Tomorrow i will follow the coast, and hopefully do lots of Km as i am going quite slow.

That is all.

Let me know if you lilke the blog

Olaya: you were right; I have begun to abandon things. The rucksack is too f***ing (jodidamente) heavy!!

Take care and see you soon.
