Our destination for tonight’s camp was Helligan Woods Camp site. This was as one might surmise next door to the famous Lost Gardens of Helligan. Indeed a gate in the hedge took you into Helligan Gardens which was not on our to do list today. We intended walking into Mevagissey this afternoon but a mid morning start after dropping Callum to school then a stop over at Asda for fuel and rations at St Austell and a Rowe’s pasty from the concession inside Asda had us running a bit late. Not that we had to be anywhere by any time as such.

The staff at Helligan Woods greeted us like long lost friends, were business like and directed us to our internet booked site. No sooner had we dropped anchor so to speak and I had plugged us into the power supply than Jackie had the G+T’s ready. “I thought we were tabbing into Mevagissey”?  I asked? “My knees playing me up.” Was the reply. True Jackie had twisted her knee this last week and it didn’t make much sense to walk to far on it just yet and aggravate it. We spent the afternoon, or what remained of it ‘on board’ and read our books.
