The Wanderer: Kicking back.

Thought some of you may like to see a bit of what it is like back here in Cornwall. For those who have never been down this way here are some photos of the local area taken while I was out on my bike the other day. Boredom is a terrible thing if it makes one go cycling up and down hills. Found out that the brakes do not actually stop the bloody bike but just stop it accelerating going down the hills. This makes getting around the hairpin bends at the bottom a little bit interesting. Not actually fallen off yet.... but give it time.

This is what originally brought me down to this part of the world.

Goonhilly Satelite Earth Station.

Cane to do an FDM multiplex installation job way back in 1984. When that finished I was at aloose end and just kept returning at weekends to see a woman and slowly became hooked on the place.

Unfortunatley nowadays the station is almost closed and is just a tourist attraction. This is the place where the first sattelite transmissions were received from Telstra back in the '60's. The view is from across the downs which is the highest point on the Lizard peninsular and as couple of miles from where I live at present.
