Froggy went a courtin' ... no Miss Mousey for him!
Still plenty of light to set out from Kit Hill - no need for torches, for a bit. To do the traditional round - widdershins. All super dry - don't suppose it will rain in March now. Round to the quarry, no wild swimmers but certainly signs of life; even a few tadpoles. Windily round and up to the stack with really fabulous views. Facing due west was out of the wind and a jolly good spot for a leisurely cuppa. No moon so all the stars, and planets, were out. Satellites zoomed here and there and right on time the ISS soared over, some time since we have seen that. Down a bit and steadily round to South Kit Hill Mine. Reading the noticeboard is sounds like a huge amount of effort for little reward. Keeping going round then up the trackway to Excelsior Tunnel. It all looked securely gated. Hard to believe it was used as part of research for the ending of nuclear testing. (No nuclear devices set off here.) Soon back to the cars and on to Callington.
Super nice to see Peter and Kath and a very warm welcome in their 'pub'. Progress sounds steady if frustratingly slow. It must be very hard when you have been just so active and super fit. Best wishes to both.
A most pleasant evening out in that Kernow.
