Yet again, I was up with the larks (the later rising ones that is) and decided to nip out before everyone else arose.
A brief glance at the Adventure Lab app. revealed a little group just outside of Hayle at a place called Godrevy.
Godrevy is a headland at the easternmost edge of St. Ives bay and is owned by the National Trust, of which I am a member, which means free parking.
Sunday morning and, as expected, the roads were quite, that is until approaching Godrevy where every layby was already full of cars.
I managed to squeeze into the official National Trust carpark, scanned my membership car and stuck the ticket inside the windscreen.
I locked the car and headed off for location one. Oddly, there wasn’t any information at the location and all I had to do was guess how many steps there were in the lighthouse (multiple choice).
A short stroll around the headland and I had answered all of the questions and completed the series. As I was returning to the car, staff were just opening the big carpark so it must have been ten o’clock.
Back at base, I joined Sue for breakfast. Before the holiday, Linday had booked a table for Sunday Lunch at the local, Angarrack Inn but that wasn’t until one.
Sue went off with Linda to the adjacent Garden Centre (and brought back some plants – what a surprise), leaving Pete and I to chill. I took the opportunity to catch up on my blogging sat in the sunshine. The weather had been rather lacklustre all week but with us having to park up tomorrow decide to go into sunny mode. In fact it was that hot that my iPhone threw a wobbly.
I moved the phone (which I was using as a hot spot) to a cooler place and waited.
All returned to normal and I continued typing until the girls returned.
More general chilling took place before we got ready for lunch.
The Angarrack is only about a ten minute drive away so we arrived in plenty of time to be seated at our reserved table.
Sunday roasts were on offer and between us we had turkey, beef, lamb and a nut roast. All were served with yorkshires (I had Sue’s as well as my own), roast spuds and vegetables. And, of course, lashings of gravy.
As if that wasn’t enough, we went full on piggy mode and went for puddings – my apple crumple and custard was brilliant.
After this hearty lunch, it was back to camp to let it all settle down.
We would be returning to the boozer in the evening for their weekly quiz.
Around half seven, we returned to the Angarrack.
Of our holiday friends, only Pete drives so is not often able to have more than a pint or so. With Pete back on driving duty for the rest of his hols, I offered to drive which was gratefully accepted.
The Angarrack do serve a low alcohol Proper Job which isn’t too bad and that was my tipple for the evening.
Before the quiz started we were presented with answer sheets including a picture round where we had to identify famous Bobs. We were also given a small basket in which to place our mobile phones for the duration of the quiz.
On the picture round, we successfully identified fourteen out of the fifteen just failing with Bobby Vee.
On the general knowledge, we seemed to struggle and the music round (where all the groups had a number in their name) we really struggled with.
However, when the scores were tallied up, we came seventh out of eight but there were only a few points between the lower positions so we hadn’t done too badly.
