Looe

Arrived at Fowey and found a cafe for breakfast.

Approaching Fowey, the bay was dominated by a large cruise ship.

When i came out of the cafe fog and rain had moved over the area, i took the ferry across to Polruan and set of on route which was gentle to start with but the long tough climbs returned before Polperro. Sometimes near high points visibility was really limited but the well worn path was ok to follow. As time passed the rain eased and at low level the visibility was good out to sea but looking up i could see the fog/cloud base enveloping the cliff tops so the next climb put me back in it.
Eventually the sky cleared for a good view of Polperro as i approached it, and what a delightful little port it is, with enough shops for supplies.
Walking on to Looe proved an easier trail, slopes generally shorter/shallower, the town is quite a contrast, so many people.

Statue in Looe of a one eyed seal that apparently became famous for making appearances in the estuary for 25 years, it bacame known as Nelson.
