Mike G, from Morvah to Zennor.

Received in the Editorial Office from Mike G,

Dear Editor,
I am sorry not to have been able to catch the Tuesday deadline for your copy, but due to technical difficulties not only beyond my control, but beyond my understanding, which involved taking photographs from more than one phone into a form I could send to you. 
You might have guessed that the chosen route was between 2 of my favourite Cornish Pubs -The Tinners Arms at Zennor and The Gurnards Head with an idea of sustenance at the beginning and resuscitation at the end, with not enough thought given to the difficulty index of the path in between In fact it was a gloriously sunny day and starting off from Morvah - about a mile from Pendeen- the going wasn't too bad and I had thought that when we returned to collect 2nd car at Morvah, that I would volunteer, to alone do the extra mile to Pendeen, but the last half mile up to the flat road leading to Zennor was a Killer- Half a mile of steep steps - and all I could think of was the 2 pints of ginger beer shandy I was going to have in the Tinners Arms when we got there, and by now all thought of doing the Pendeen  a bit later were out of the Question!
Alas, the Tinner's Arms was doing such good business that it was full and there was no hope of immediate resuscitation and the Shandy, but we did make up for it with a very good meal at the Gurnards Head later.
A day to remember, Spectacular scenery, glorious weather and a brilliant effort by the support team, granddaughter, daughter and Son in law and Oscar to get the overweight elderly, well one of them was, round the course without the Air Ambulance. The photos are included since someone was not prepared to accept the achievement without photographic proof of the start and finish.
Please note also Grandma next door to a sign saying Bosigran !
Gyl and Mike
