After an excellent breakfast at the Backpackers Hostel in Zennor, we made (for us!) an early start at 9.15am in anticipation of a long day in the saddle and big hills. We were joined by Cath Francis about 4 miles outside St Ives who kept us company until we got to the other side of the town, where Vanessa then joined her and they both cheered us off towards Hayle.
We then poured on the pedal power with the thoughts of a nice coffee at the Hells Mouth Cafe. We met up there with David (Angilley) before heading off to Portreath. Such was our speed that we decided on a relaxing lunch and a doze at the Blue Bar before arriving at St Agnes at about 3pm. We are being put up by the very kind Doble family - many thanks!! We covered about 30 miles today and did not even feel tired by the end - either our legs are getting stronger, or the 3 bottles of red wine consumed last night in the Tinners Arms at Zennor really did give us wings!!

Tonight is the big fund raising do down at the St Agnes Hotel kicking off at about 6.30pm. This has been organised by Sophie and Karen - again many, many thanks! We are all looking forward to it and providing our hangovers are not too great, will try and do a special Blog tomorrow morning before we depart for Polzeath.
