Roseland Peninsula

[Saul]

Got home from work after a night shift this morning but wasn’t that tired so decided to make the most of the weather and go for a bit of a bimble.   
I traveled out through St Austell then Sticker to turn onto the Roseland.   
I tend not to go there that often and I can’t think of any good reason not to, Tis a beautiful place.   The first stunning village you come to is Tregony, I get dragged down there to their Heavy Horse show every year but I don’t mind at all, although I may protest.  
Out of Tregony takes you through several smaller villages with some cracking names like Reskivers and Ruan Lanihorne.  Onto St Just in Roseland not to be confused with St Just in Penwith where Jethro comes from, and past the sign post for the King Harry Ferry.  I was hoping to get a photo as it had been recently altered to the Spare Harry Ferry but some humourless soul had changed it back so I didn’t bother. 
Several more small villages and some really muddy salty roads brought me to the millionaires playground of St Mawes on the Carrick Rodes across from Falmouth.   A simply stunning little town as long as you don’t look at the property prices.  Went there pilot gig racing many times in my misspent youth.   Had the briefest look at the Castle then rode back to Portscatho.   Another beautiful place, I remembered singing there, probably 12 years ago, in a lovely little chapel right down by the sea.   I was sad to see it is being converted into another luxury residence, another community centre gone.  
After that is was time to travel home.  Did 45 miles and made a mental note to go back soon when the roads are clearer and get some better photos.

I wish mate, my house needs elastic walls for my tribe and all their stuff.   Bleddy conservatory is full of saddles and tack.   I suggested parking my bike in there but that wasn't a popular option.   As for parking my van has to live out in the square as our parking is full of bikes and cars

Great shots Saul..... but do you ever get dry roads?

I live on a narrow little peninsula so we are never far from rain this time of year.   Twas more mud today though, lots of farmland on the Roseland.

Great scenery again Saul .  I could quite happily take a room in that pub, get a pint and just stare out to sea

Tis a lovely place for sure.  Sang in the community centre several times always a great night.    Their sailing and Gig regattas are epic also.  Not a cheap place though

No I haven't thanks. Aren't all the best ideas simple ones.
