I woke up shattered and would have loved a lie in, but couldn't because I'd said that I would drop the car in to be fixed at ATS in Helston at 9am! Sigh! It was a pretty grey and dismal day again, and heavy showers drenched the tent from time to time.

I got showered and as I sat there the fog began to lift slightly, which gave me hope that the forecast might be correct. I decided as Rory wasn't up still, that I would go and get the car in to be fixed as they hadn't
