Craigellachie National Nature Reserve

Craigellachie National Nature Reserve is very close to Scandinavian Village, so with poor light and snow forecast for later in the day it is a good place for a short walk. As it was poor light I did not climb to the higher areas but stayed in the forest.

It was not so cold – so I found somewhere suitable, over looking the loch, to make some tea.

Walk along Loch Tay – tea break

As followed the route along the Loch there was a convenient picnic area for a tea break.

I carry the meths bottle in an outside mesh pocket, on my rucksack, which meant I did struggle to light the meths as it was very cold.

Here is the view from my cafe – menu, fresh hot tea with custard creams.

Tresillian

Jeremy and I spent the morning in Truro – mainly in the Royal Cornwall Museum.

On the way back to the campsite we stopped at one of our favourite tea rooms – Tresillian Garden Centre. We have visited it each time we have camped at Veryan just for the Cornish Cream Tea – it cannot be beaten for quality or value. Real Cornish clotted cream and warm fruit scones and jam produced in the village. Cost £3.00 each.

Here is how to find it. It is on the right as you leave the village (before crossing the bridge), on the A390 heading for St Austell.

Falmouth

Once Jeremy was up we decided to spend a wet day in Truro, however the car parks were full – so we we t to Falmouth.

We found an excellent old fashioned department store, to shelter in whilst the rain was at its heaviest. Trago stocked everything, it had electric guitars, to kitchen stuff, furniture to shower stalls, to Christmas stuff to cosmetics – it really defies description. We bought some drysacks for backpacking, some beakers with snap on lids that fit neatly inside our Ti mugs and a small zippered pouch for tea bags, sugar etc.

With the day getting darker and wetter we decided to go back to the campsite for a triple bill of DVDs.
