Cornwall For Me And Lu and Enzo Too!

Hi everyone

Me and Luther are two very lucky Labradors. As the pandemic continued into the autumn mum and dad took us to Cornwall for a two week holiday - still no foreign travel for them - happy days!

Things didn't get off to the best start though, we set off at 5am to beat the morning rush hour on the M25

Only to get stuck for about five hours due to an accident near to South Mimms

So it was breakfast in the boot for us

Finally 12 hours after leaving home we made it to Looe, just in time for a quick walk before it got dark

We also had our tea by harbour

We got a nice surprise when we arrived at our house, Sam, Max, Steph and most importantly Enzo were there to meet us, they had travelled down separately and were going to be spending a few days with us 

Saturday morning we went along to Mount Edgcumbe where Steph and dad did the Parkrun while we went for a walk and a swim. Us dogs had a quiet day after that - Dad, Max and Sam went to Plymouth to football, mum and Steph went to Talland Bay for afternoon tea

Sunday funday in Looe starting with a walk in Kilminorth woods

mmmm magic mushrooms

Holiday vibes

'Get outta ma pub! After our walk we went to the Jolly Sailor for lunch and then called into the Harbour Moon Inn for a drink, unfortunately poor old Enz needed a wee and did it on the floor and wasn't allowed back in, what a legend 8 months old and banned from a pub!

Goosed!

Getting the bus to Polperro for Monday's walk back to Looe along the coastal path 

Polperro

Interesting place

A great walk

Back in Looe

'Gone Bodmin'

Looe harbour

Enzo's last day in Cornwall

Treat time hopefully? We really had a great few days with Enzo but all good things come to an end

But dogs welcome

Just to prove that Cornwall is not all beaches

After a great week in Looe we headed further down the coast to Porthleven. We stopped off in Foulmouth, f**k I mean Falmouth! on the way and did a nice circular walk there 

Mmmmmmm Sarah makes a mighty fine pasty

Up early on Saturday morning for the Lands End Parkrun

The first and last house in England in the background

Parkrun done, an Italian shower for dad and then we're off for a coastal walk

Luther managed to roll in something fishy

Post walk at The first and last pub in England

Bastard! He got scrubbed with Fairy Liquid and he still stunk

Porthleven

Is that a message specifically for Luther? Probably not after yesterday

We weren't allowed to swim in the sea here as it's too dangerous

So we had a swim in Loe Pool

Monday morning's coastal walk, why do we look so unenthusiastic?

It's like a scene from Poldark

Looks inviting

We walked the coastal path to Pentreath

And got a bus back to Portleven

We went to Redruth so that mum could visit Nadene who she used to work with, afterwards we drove to Hell's Mouth and did a walk to the Godrevy Lighthouse

Cor whatta  beach

There's St Ives in the distance - I love it there as well

Another walk from Porthleven

To Loe Bar

Through the Penrose Estate

Around Loe Pool

And back

Back to Loe Bar on Remembrance Day

And along the Coastal path 

'Dogs welcome'

To Gunwalloe Church Cove Beach

As promised we were welcome

We had to get two buses back, the first one to Helston, where we went in another pub (after being refused entry at a Wetherspoons)

Then on to Porthleven

Where we went to the Ship Inn - well it was the last day of the holiday!

Saturday morning and ready for the 400 mile drive home, we slept all the way as we were absolutely knackered from all of our activities of the past two weeks

Another brilliant holiday done, specifically tailored to our needs! How many more will we have before mum and dad find their way on to an aeroplane?

See you next time.

Lots of love from

Rudie THE Dog xx
