Ok so the van has an MOT, which means we can leave Penryn, heading for Font, Switzerland, the Pyrenees, Spain, Madrid and back again.
Motivation and Mullion
(Early July) Well I don’t know..all I can say is that motivation is at present it’s a bit low. My body feels tired and injuries seem more prevalent and nagging, the weather is too warm, the tides always seem wrong and the roads are getting busy. August is approaching and I hate August in Cornwall!……
serpentine
It’s amazing how exploration around West Cornwall can turn up new problems. I wouldn’t suggest that this is a great problem, but it would get stars if it had a top out, was accessible for more than a couple of hours at low tide and wasn’t either in the sun or wet! I’ve also been…

Its such a fickle spot though, stuff falling down, holds changing. Strange seeing problems…

I was also drawing…

Carn Brea
Thanks to Adam for filming it and posting on YT. Obviously it’s not the 3rd assent (ascent). The problem is ‘the bloodstone arete’. I don’t know who did the first ascent? For a long time there was a cheat-stone which facilitated a hop into a mantle. Barney Carver dispatched the cheat-stone down the hill some…
