A short walk down to one of our favourite canoeing spots on the Helford - without a canoe this time. This is where Scooby previously learnt to swim just for the fun of it so Liz was keen to take him back for another padd…

Too windy for canoeing (F5/6 from the east) so a yomp with the hound around St Anthony Head. Top walk with just about the right amount of up and downiness.

Ferry back over as foot passengers from Bressay to Lerwick for an early evening trip round the town. A pint in the Thule Bar followed by dinner and a pint in The Dowry followed by live folk music and a couple of pints up…

Ferry back from Lerwick on Shetland to Aberdeen. As we were in the last remaining pet friendly cabin down in the ships bilges somewhere, the GPS didn't have a signal most of the time so the track is a little "creative" (…

From Kirkwall on the mainland across to Rapness on the island of Westray. Some strong (4.5 knot) currents (according to Navionics) on the way. Liz very grateful that the strong winds from the north had abated for a while…

With it being a rainy, windy Tuesday morning, we thought the cycle path might be clear enough of people to use. Liz's first 11mph ride in a long time.

Up to the Topsham foot ferry with Liz after work.

A sort, quick ride to Topsham Ferry - to get a ride in before Liz goes to work. Would probably have broken 11 mph average if not stopping at Spar for provisions.

A walk down into Fowey and then a ferry from Fowey to Megavissey. On the trip into Fowey the ferry had spotted a large whale and porpoises but no such luck on our trip. From Megavissey, we walked round to Portmellon. The…

With the start of Storm Dylan bringing in some winds, I cycled just far enough to reach 2200 miles in 2017 (and far enough to prove I'd finally fixed the slow puncture that had been giving me grief).

From Mylor Harbour to Loe Beach for lunch. Then back via the Pandora Inn (to beach and empty out some water). Lovely early summer's day. Bit shorter than planned but that meant be could meet up with Derek and Ruth H for…

With the news that we've sprung a leak at home, the leisurely trip home was cancelled and we left York a day early to head home. Two hundred miles is about a much as we want to do in the van in a day so we stopped at the…

The community run pub on Rosay was a couple of miles from the great, free (gratuities accepted) "camper van aire" we were staying at near the ferry terminal in Brinian. Big thanks to the hosts Martin and Vivian - search…

Our silver wedding anniversary meal at the Pandorra Inn on Restronguet Creek. In fact, it was a very sad day as we'd lost Scooby Hound at 05:00 that morning.

Stayed at the rather nice and basic Treza Camping. Then down into Porthleven for a pint or two and some food. Saw Trudy and Colin from Llantwit at the Harbour Inn and then visited the very nice Ship Inn. Find of the even…

An interesting walk through Tregantle Fort (a non-firing day on the ranges) and then lunch at the Finnygook Inn in Crafthole. Quite a lot of uppy downy again.

Dinner at the Pandorra Inn.

A walk into St Agnes to the Railway Inn. Served Aspall's cider, Guiness and the haddock and chips were fine for just over a tenner. Recommended.

Down to Tregunwith Farm again with the campervan so a first night's dinner at the Pandora.

From Tregunwith Farm camping down to The Pandora Inn for dinner.

With the promised easterly being more like a southerly, there was a long enough fetch for some waves that weren't to Scooby's liking. So after lunch and some icecreams (which were to Scooby's liking) we diverted into Res…

From Tregunwith Farm Campsite to the Pandora Inn on Restronguet Creek for dinner. Two pints of Rattler helped out on the walk back up the hill from the Pandora.

From Mylor to the Pandora Inn and on to Feock. The Pandora Inn sadly burned down but has now been re-built. Well be back for more fish platters and cheesy chips

Lovely dinner at the Pandora Inn - first of the holiday. The 1 in 4 hill on the way back was a bit of an ask when full of Cornish Ratler and Gurnard (or Guiness and Mackerel in Lizzie's case)

After the 6.5 miles yomp round St Anthony Head, another mile and half to the Pandora Inn for our anniversary dinner. Fifteen years married, 21 years together and 30 years since we met. Less for murder as they say (and Li…

A sunny Sunday walk round the hills surrounding Doddiscombsleigh. The suggested footpath half way round didn't look right so we ended up doing most of the walk on quiet country lanes.

Sixteenth anniversary dinner at the Pandora Inn on the Fal. Only a day late but it was raining yesterday. Lovely food and the Rattler was good too. Sod of a hill on the way "home" when full of food and drink.

First canoe trip of the 2015 summer holiday. From Mylor harbour, a little way up Restronguet creek up past the Pandora Inn, on to Looe Beach and then back via Mylor Creek. Had a kingfisher with us for quite a way up Mylo…

Lovely fish pie dinner at the "Pan". After a nine mile walk earlier in the day, the drag back up the hill from The Pandora after dinner was just what Lizzie wanted!

Walking the hound from Tregunwith to the Pandorra Inn. At Tregunwith Farm with the camper van - great location, friendly owners, relaxed atmosphere and great prices. Don't tell anyone else!
