Way out west

Ok, I've finally finished scoffing my last remaining Saffron buns and Hevva cakes, now I can continue...

Land's End. It was a hot sunny day with calm seas. For 5 miles, round the rugged rocks, the ragged rascal er... walked. Slowly. Stopping halfway for a pint.


Sennen Cove

You're gonna need a bigger boat

Past the 'Irish Lady'

Land's End and the remaining wreckage of the RMS Mülheim.
The Mülheim was heading for Germany where its cargo of scrap plastic car parts was to be recycled...


However, at 4:30AM on March 22nd 2003 the ship hit the rocks.
Hundreds of tonnes of shredded plastic and 100,000 litres of diesel fuel were washed into the sea. Recycle, help save the environment!

Anyone see a Basking Shark out there?
