At last the weather smiled on us and we have managed a couple of days in The Schooner Point garden and also managed to get out for a walk. This time we trecked through Tregargus Woods and back down to St.Stephen, near St.Austell. It took us through the old mine workings and past the waterfall. We did get a little lost for a while but we managed to find our way out in the end.
