Day 5 Truro to Mitchell

Day 5 Truro to Mitchell 
Kilometers: 18-24?

Today there's supposed to be a storm with 25-26mm of rain in three hours sometime around lunch. I decided to get up as early as possible to get as far as possible before it started to rain. 

   The outskirts of Truro in the dark.

Truro cathedral. I came down this road last time as well.

I found a nature area close to the town center and I could walk through it instead of hard city streets.
   Daubuz Moors

   Idless Woods

After a couple of kilometers on country lanes I came to Idless Woods, another large recreational area, where I walked 3-4 kilometers. I met a couple of dog walkers, if any of you are reading this I enjoyed our chats! 

Shortly after, I passed St Erme. Unfortunately there was no pub, it had been torn down some time ago, but the church was nice.


Eventually I had to go back to the hard road walking. It was however down very quiet country lanes and I hardly saw a car for an hour or two. As I was coming down a hill towards a house a lady came out and asked if I wanted a glass of water. I said yes, and could I please use the toilet as well 😁

We had a nice chat, but I had to leave, I still had some miles to go. 


I don't know what was in that water, this is my trail after leaving "the water lady!" Joking aside, I have no idea why this happened. I didn't walk as far as 24 kilometers I'm sure, but the correct number is, and will remain, a mystery!

   Got my first blister today.

Thanks to leaving early this morning I arrived at the Plume of Feathers in Mitchell early, which was a delight, since the room was lovely!

I always forget to take a pic before I unpack and untidy the room 😂

And the 26 millimeters of rain in 3 hours? They didn't come until after I went to bed!
