General:
Parked car in Marazion side road opposite cemetery and 
cycled to start of walk at Penzance against a strong head 
wind. Cycled through Marazion village to cycleway No. 3 
alongside railway. Good gravel tracks on top of huge 
boulders forming sea wall. Dodged the many puddles, after 
recent heavy rain and the many dog walkers. Wandered 
down private road by pub, resident soon put me right. 
Good views of St Michael's Mount and Penzance in the 
sunshine. Watched train pull out of Penzance Station, 
going towards London with a huge number of almost 
empty coaches. Parked bike in cycle rack opposite harbour,
by bus station. Walked back to car behind slow walking 
Italian student visitors. Watched  wind surfers enjoying the 
strong wind and fairly calm sea. Many cars on car park and 
shoppers in Marazion village centre. Steady ascent up 
Fore Street and Turnpike Street to cemetery and car 
parked in residential road opposite.
