Today is a rest day so no walking. Time to relax, go to church and to look after my feet! I forgot to mention yesterday that I saw a large grey seal colony at Fishing Cove just east of Navax Point after I had passed the Towans yesterday. I slept in late for me not waking until nearly 8.30am. My hosts, Peter and Teresa, took me to Newquay Christian Centre [Elim] which was at 10.00am. There were over 200 in the congregation for their Harvest service. I was encouraged by the serviced and was introduced to the congregation by Pastor Mike. This was followed by lunch at church. After this we returned to Cubert, the village south of Newquay where Peter and Teresa live. I helped Teresa clear the tables at the shop from last night's celebration of the sixth years she has been running the cafe in the village. Later back at the house I had a sleep and then set to and sorted out my feet and putting on ointments and potions to get ready for tomorrow. Tomorrow the first part of my walk is from Portreath to Perranporth, but the second half mainly describes a circle around the village of Cubert. I also checked the ferry at Padstow as I shall need this on Wednesday morning and this starts at 8.00am which is a good time and I actually got an answer when I telephoned which was good. This is the very last ferry crossing which will be a relief.
I plan to start early tomorrow and Peter and I are going to leave the house at 6.30am so I can start walking as soon as it gets light. It really doesn't matter if I end early but the evenings are drawing in and on long days an early start is advisable but it depends on the overnight accomodation as to what is possible.
I now have less than two weeks left of walking and by next weekend the conclusion will be in sight.
This weekend I have received nearly £140-00 in sponsorship here in Newquay which is encouraging.
