Onwards and Upwards - From Port Isaac to Padstow


Hi Everyone,

I'm walking again today which is a great relief. The blister is doing OK so no time to lose. Will miss the folks I met at Port Isaac though - they were so friendly and helpful. The hotel owner used to be the drummer & lyricist for Dexy's Midnight runners - ahh......good ol' 80's music! Brings back lots of great memories! He was really interesting to talk to - really nice fella.

Walked from Port Isaac to Padstow with Maria Browning today - it was to great to have such good company. We made great time & the weather was gorgeous - got the legs out today as well! - didn't frighten any wildlife with them which was good!
Some of the coves today were the best I've seen yet - the water was really clear & looked so inviting. I was so tempted to dip in.

Padstow was packed when I arrived. Had some Rick Stein take away fish & chips, they were fab, chips were genuinely the best I've ever had.

Thanks to all for the texts, e-mails & other messages of support - really love getting them so much. Had some from people I've met along the way which is great. Some from Holland, Germany, Switzerland, Norway & Sweden!

Next stop is Mawgan Porth. It's about 18 miles but not a hard leg in terms of hills and valleys. Jen Julian & her Mum are joining me for part of the leg - looking forward to meeting up with them.

Well.....Have a good day all. Will post again soon:-)

Remember: George is walking all this way in the hope he will raise £10,000 to undertake important neurological research at the AECC. The research will hopefully help to shape and develop chiroopractic knowledge in this area, so it would make a massive difference to George and to the chiropractic profession if you were to sponsor him.

You can sponsor George quickly and easily online by visiting
www.justgiving.com/georgerix so please please please show him your support! Remember, every little bit helps, so any pennies you can find will really help George and his quest!

Thank You.
