Journey 5 pt 1

Today I walking from Trelissick gardens just outside of Truro to Gerrans on the Roseland. There my friends are camping and so I get thefirst camp of my trip.I am blogging from the phone so there should be some updates throughout the day as well as photos on my flickr stream & probably Twitter as well just for information overload.The journey starts with the obligatory bus ride. The bus today is the Truronian T16 leaving the Truro bus station at 10.50. The rain has dwindled to s mild drizzle from the torrents falling when I awoke this morning. At present wind is more a factor gusting randomly about. I never cease to be surprised by the amount of buses and people at the Truro bus station. There never seems to be a time of inactivity. I
have in the past let the buses decide my route, taking whichever comes in next. One memorable trip took me to Newquay via Crantock then onto St. Austell before Charlestown and the return leg. The best thing
about buses is the ability they give to explore random parts of the country with a whole new perspective. It's amazing what a few extra feet/inches gives you.

Damn, despite all my praise for the buses the Truronian T16 not only changed stand but didn't stop when I tried to flag him down in the bus station or when stuck at the bollard. Oh I was so mad!Alternative plan now in place, quick bus to playing place then a lift  to the ferry. Not too much time wasted just annoying that there was no indication of the change.

More later.....
