We decided to take a short break for half-term, spending a few days in a "Bed-and-Breakfast" in St Austell. The main purpose was to visit the Eden project, but we also hired some bicycles and did a bit of sight-seeing. The Eden project gives you a discount if you arrive by bicycle.

We went on two cycle rides, on to Mevagissey, a seaside town, and once to the Eden Project. This picture shows max cycling alongside a stream. |

Cornwall is quite hilly. |

My abiding memories of Mevagissy are twofold. First we watched the Arsenal vs Sheffield United FA Cup match in one of the local pubs (Sat 19th Feb 2005). I was the only Sheffield United supporter in the pub, my children and all the locals gunning for Arsenal. It finished 1-1 in the end. The other incident was after the game when we went for a meal and I dropped my camera, breaking the lens. Anyway, here are some pictures of Mevagissey.
