Day 28: 1100 miles (1770 km)
We had heavy, heavy rain with a strong wind all day today, which reminded us of Scotland. It was warm though. (Today’s weather forecast for Scotland predicted frost in some of the glens. In mid-July!)
Being soaking wet, though, is fine if you keep your torso dry. We wear shorts, which quickly get soaked, and booties, which eventually let in the rain but still keep your feet warm. Our jackets keep us fairly dry inside, though the arms eventually let in the water. The delightful thing, then, is that we look forward to hills because peddling up a hill keeps you warm. So we arrived in St Newlyn East this afternoon exceedingly wet, but quite warm. We couldn’t imagine camping. Setting up and crawling into a wet tent is for people much more hardy than us.
Forecast for tomorrow? Dry and sunny.?
