These are two photos I took recently during a bike ride with Himself along the Carnon Valley cycle trail. You’ll have
heard the old saying: Kissing’s out of season when the gorse is out of bloom? Well, our mild Cornish climate means that gorse blooms all year round.
The cycle trail runs between two lakes. This is the larger. Stop for a few minutes and you’ll glimpse quite large fish as well as darting shoals of smaller ones.
The cycle trail runs right across Cornwall from the Carnon river in the east to Portreath on the West coast. The first half is mostly level as it follows the old railway track. But then it starts to get really hilly so we’ve only managed to get half way. We’re building up to the final push. The knees need time to adjust!
