Christmas Road Run |
|
|
|
The day started out very well at Summercourt for our Christmas Road Run which was a sponsored one for NACC, our charity for this year. It was dry and not too windy, but this was soon to change. By midday when we got to Point Curlew, St Merryn for lunch it was lashing down with rain and very windy. |

|
| We left Summercourt at approx 10.30 and travelled along the A3058 towards Newquay, past Dairyland and turning left in Kestle Mill towards Trerice Manor. From there we headed for the ford at Legonna . All the tractors and four wheel drives made it through the river but the cars following had to divert around. From there it was on to Porth beach and the coast road taking us past Watergate Bay, Mawgan Porth, Bedruthan Steps, Porthcothan Bay and on into St Merryn. The run was approximately 38 miles and was thoroughly enjoyed by all. |
