After a quiet day yesterday in Marazion we decided today to drive up to North Cornwall to cycle the path that runs along the river from Wadebridge to Padstow. The track runs along a converted railway line so it's nice and flat, but it's about 5 miles each way and difficult enough to warrant a guilt free icecream at Padstow. Rick Stein is the local celebrity at Padstow and he owns several eateries there. The prices at his seafood restaurant were a bit beyond us, so we settled for a fig flan from his cafe which we took home for dessert.
We drove home via some of the narrower roads that wind around the Northern coast near Newquay, reputed to have good surf. Gorgeous little coves, but not particularly large waves. On the way home we realised we had run out of coffee this morning - that is real crisis - and so we drove round Penzance trying to find a shop open after 4pm on Sunday afternoon....we found what we needed, but we also found a shop called "Tregenza's". We think we might return to Penzance tomorrow for further research.
