Day 8 was spent mostly thinking about how far we had come & how close we were to the end.
The morning started with eggy bread. When I asked for sugar I got a funny look & was told that sounds like some wierd regional thing from the cook. Just as well I did'nt ask for maple syrup.
We soon left Goonhavern behind with me navigating with OS map.
About midmorning we were excited to catch our first glimpse of the Sea!
We stopped for lunch in a little village with a ruined church munching on hot pasties whilst I tried to make sense of the NCN map. We were about to go through the one small section for which I had no OS map.
I improvised a bit & we eventually found one of the NCN road signs. We then spent a while going by NCN alone.
As we neared Redruth Steve pointed out a couple of tin mine ruins. Once I knew what they were I started noticing them all over the place.
Once we had made it through Redruth we knew we were practically at Hayle so we started watching for campsite signs. Got lucky & found one right on the road we were taking.
Bedded down now & hope to make Land's End tomorrow evening where we aim to find a B&B for the night to rest.
