With the clouds looking promising I raced over there but had totally miscalculated the suns position...I could already see the sun approaching the horizon way in land to the north...Id gotten my times of year and sun position all wrong... so now I was determined to make the most of things...back in the car and and a dash up the coast to the UKs most westerly point...Cape Cornwall.

Cape Cornwall... rugged and romantic.
