Everyone is in good spirits today. The hike was relatively short (at least at our pace :-), but at around 4 hours long enough to leave with the impression that we had done something. Most minor ailments were improved or had disappeared over the rest day and energy levels were higher. Just a great day.
The museum in St. Ives was pretty interesting. They had some working models of mine equipment that were fascinating, and some pictures of pilchard fishing that were stunning. The amounts of fish that were landed back then were astounding -- they had 100,000 hogsheads of fish at a time in the St. Ives cellars... and each hogshead held 3,000 fish that were kept and pressed for 6 weeks before being shipped. Those are massive numbers....
Lots of people on the trails today... more than we have seen before. The stretch from Zennor to St. Ives seems to be much travelled. The pub in Zennor where we had lunch -- the 14th Century (?) Tinner's Arms -- was very good, and tonight's dinner in The Gurnard's Head promises to be excellent... #1 Dining Pub in Cornwall a couple of years ago.
Yup, we are having fun....
