Bike ride

Well, now the stormy weather seems to have calmed down a bit, I thought it would be a good idea to buy a new bike. I went for a little excursion today...bit further than I had planned ! I reckon was a good 25 to 30 miles...Haven't got any lights for the bike yet...but got back just in time.

Started at St Eval. Then Porthcothan, Treyarnon, Constantine, Harlyn, St Merryn and back to St Eval.

First Stop...Porthcothan

Ship Wreck

French fishing boat on the rocks...


CREW RESCUED AFTER FISHING BOAT DAMAGED BY LARGE WAVES OFF CORNWALL

Six people have been rescued from their fishing boat after it was damaged in the rough sea off the north Cornwall coast.
Falmouth Coastguard was first contacted about the French fishing boat Le Sillon just before 4pm this afternoon by the French Coastguard. They reported that the boat had been hit by a number of large waves and they had lost power and steering, and were drifting approximately 5 miles off Trevose Head. The wind at the time was gusting up to 60 mph.
The RNLI all-weather lifeboat from Padstow, along with the search and rescue helicopter from RNAS Culdrose was sent to the scene. Five of the crew were picked up by the Royal Navy helicopter and the other crew member was recovered by the lifeboat. There are no reported injuries.

Signs...


I decided to venture out into the mizzle of St Eval today...but only got as far as this in my neighbours garden...Should I open the hatch to see what is inside?
But then I remembered the old expression curiosity killed the cat, a proverb used to warn of the dangers of unnecessary investigation or experimentation.
Are these signs there just as a guideline, or should we take notice and avoid the possible dangers... 
This inspired me to have a look back of some of my favourite photos...
