Driving from Penzance to Wales.

Getting from Penzance to Wales was a simple matter of crossing half the country on narrow tunnels through the trees. Quite beautiful if you aren't thinking about the inches of clearance between your car, oncoming traffic, and the wall on the other side (solid shoulder, I believe they called it). As British understatement and subtlety appears to extend to road signage, we got lost again. Whilst trying to find a place to turn around we blundered into Dartmoor (or perhaps someplace else--need to check that one with Dad. Anyway, carry on!)

( It was pretty and misty there )

Such a relief to drive on nice wide roads!
