Sunday
17th January light S cloudy, a few light showers 8C
Siblyback is still and quiet as I leave my night's
accommodation and head back to the country lanes that will lead me to
Hayle.
The Dorset King stones stop me for a while, 875AD,
they've been there a long time.
The A38 is as scary as ever as the road goes through a
narrow river valley. The A30 is less so as all can see me on this
large busy dual carriageway.
The day is a fifty mile slog which goes quickly enough
and I reach Hayle. I find the bed and breakfast from last year, The
Mad Hatter, and leaving my stuff there, after being greeted as a long
lost friend by Pauline and Mark, I go birding for an hour along
Copperhouse Creek. Singles of greenshank, little egret and grey
plover I see. The rain, always threatening to fall all day, finally
does with some persistence.
The
Green Year list now stands at 117, fifteen ahead of where I was
at this time last year.
