Mullion Cove



Morning Blog Fans..... Day three of holidays from yesterday - Walk in the Rain, Family Rocket come around for the Play off final.  Ellie makes scones.  Eat a big Chilli.  Take in a walk down around the lighthouse and introduce the Rockets into Geocaching.  Strangely, they are too busy to see us today.

Up a little later today.  There is Sunshine, so I can show a view from our cottage.

Today we drive around 7 miles to Mullion Cove.  We park a way south of the cove at a national trust carpark where the road literally runs out.  There is a cache in the car park.  We head inland again, going north along wonderful green lanes, sunken paths and through waist high dart grass.

Dog will follow me anywhere.

The ultimate aim is Mullion Cove.  A harbour, a small gathering of cottages including a new build which Sonia had her eye on.  Unfortunately, it is a dry village and had no pub.  Or library.  And there is only so far you can go on stunning sea views and seals.

Retrace our steps and up a steep cliff to gain the SWC path and expansive views over the sea.

Then its a straightforward walk back.  Stopping only for Sonia to take a phone call from a man with a special delivery for her.  "We are on holidays", she shouts above the wind.  Lets hope Mr UPS isn't a part time burglar.  Then we stop for a cache  overlooking Mullion Island.  Top location.  Sonia starts texting and I go looking.  I give and Sonia goes "Its there you duffer".  I give her the honour of signing the log.

Straightforward return - we take the opportunity of a short cut, which I dont mind as it was a repeat of a section of day 1 walking for me and I have already been to Jolly Town.

Last Photo opp of the Day.
