Looking West. Can you see St Ives "Island" and the chapel in the distance?

Looking East. Can you see the lighthouse?

While on the beach, it rained a couple of times, and we saw a rainbow (you can see the lighthouse better in this picture):

Then Mr Sidey decided to do some beach art.

First, a message to you all, made by shuffling his feet through the sand:

and to get an idea of the scale, here is a photo close-up to the letters, with Pikachu sitting in the "S".

Then we decided to try something a bit different and "virtual". We walked out this next message on the sand and let my GPS receiver record where we had walked. This is the message we walked out:

As an idea of scale, the "hello" is 50m across and it's 55m from top to bottom. All that was left on the sand were a few footprints.

After that I did a couple of short runs, then walked up the estuary into Hayle village and back along the road to the Travelodge (via that restaurant with an "M" and also sheltering in a shop when it started sleeting heavily.)

Tomorrow, I move to another Cornish Travelodge on the South coast.

This is the GPS map of my entire walk/run:

Tuesday 13th --- Home --- Thursday 15th
