July 28, 2023 - Falmouth - Land's End

 Today we rode southwest to Land's End from Falmouth.  Along the way, we passed through Mousehole, Porthcurno, Land's End and Cape Cornwall.  The round trip took about 5 hours and it did not rain at all.  Temps were in the 60s-70s with little wind.  Roads varied from 4-lane divided A30 at 70 mph to single lane hairpin turns in 1st gear.  Traffic was pretty heavy at times.

We had a light lunch at a small cafe in the Porthcurno Telegraph Museum - nothing special but it was a nice place to stop and people watch.  This is peak holiday time for the Brits.  School is out and everyone took off for a long weekend, or more.

There were a few other motorcycles to keep the GS company while we walked around.  One of the guys parked next to us was British but living in The Villages, just south of Gainesville.


This is for Fred.  If you look very close in the middle of the picture, you can see a pin on the green of a golf course with the Celtic Sea in the background.
