Can.

Meanwhile, the freecycle route is far longer than it used to be, taking in the Strand, Aldwych, Kingsway, Lincolns Inn Fields, High Holborn and Threadneedle Street as well as the Embankment and the Mall.

Hope you remembered your passport and ensure you delouse before you return South.

I should have brought a mask to protect my nose from the rich smell of sewerage by the Savoy hotel. Stinking rich!

Warm and cloudy in Marazion. I've seen lots of cyclists passing through. A few of them stop for a photo of St. Michael's Mount I'm guessing that they're LEJOGers as the chap in the bike hire shop said that he sees loads of them off most weekends because he deals with the bike transfer /transport stuff.

There is a plaque near the beach where you are to commemorate HMS Warspite, a battleship which took part in both World Wars, which ran aground on the way to the breakers.

Yes, near the lifeguards station. There's some good stuff about it in the little museum. It's always interesting to find out about what part a place played in the wars.

The one in the centre of the shot then wandered over to another couple having a picnic and tried to make friends with their two dogs. The dogs were not impressed and looked very timid. The cattle are grazed on Beacon Hill as part of a land management scheme to maintain it as it has been for the last thousand years, they keep the bracken down and prevent trees establishing.
