Lands End, the most westerly point of mainland England, 838 miles(1349km) to John O Groats in Scotland. The sun was out but the wind howled - the weather was changing.
It's really beautiful out here. We thought we might have a picnic, but the wind didn't allow for that, so we had a quick look around and kept moving.
Besides the shop, that is. My daughters are excellent shoppers. It was hard to get them out of there.
As to be expected with this bunch, there was much hilarity - this is called 'finding the light' - apparently the most favourable light for the most flattering photograph. Who knew?
"If you can see the Scillies, it's going to rain. If you can't see them, it is raining." - local wisdom.
Closed today...
I'm not sure what this building is - they have spectacular views, but the wind!
Leaving Lands End, we took a side road down towards the Minack Theatre - the open air theatre perched on the cliffs overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.
We decided not to attempt the path over to the theatre side as the wind was mean! So this is the view from the other side. Awesome beach.
By then it was past lunch time and we hadn't found that sheltered beach we were looking for so we headed back to the cottage and had egg sandwiches and giraffe bread (yes, it's a thing here and really good), in comfort, with tea.
