Cornish stiles

I walked this path once about 25 years ago and not since and confess to remembering nothing at all about it. But I've recently read some interesting facts about the antiquity of this path and the one-time mining community of Treskerby, complete with old pub. I'll do a bit of research and see what happened to it. LATER INFO: Yes, an old mining community with pub, The Pick and Gad, which was turned into 2 houses in the late 19th century. I'll walk this path again with renewed interest as the evenings get longer.. Sight and sound: www.youtube.com/watch?v=TmrUFRIQj0Y No one remembers Mountain now but they were good. Hendrix was a fan.

Another staggeringly DUUUUULL day, but my walk to the pub (and watch England being trounced by France at home) is at least brightened by all the gorse bushes coming out. It seems to work OK on large. Sight and sound. An enjoyable Robert Palmer song. www.youtube.com/watch?v=lyNa-ReeZc8&list=RDlyNa-ReeZc8&start_radio=1

A granite stile and a wooden gate providing contrast. On my daily early evening walk. Sight and sound: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fiq-rtFsc0s The best soul / funk song ever (imho).

One of many such stiles on the old path between Vogue and Treskerby. I'll upload a few of them as and when. They often span a brooklet such as this as well as hedges (Cornish for stone walls!)

I tried this path to Treskerby today but it's definitely a welly walk. Will have to look for my old wellies! They're here somewhere!

Leading off from Pink Moors. I went along the path for a few 100 yards but it became so waterlogged that I gave up and will wait for dryer conditions!

On the Vogue, Treskerby path again.

Approaching the Wheal Gorland (former vast copper mine) area of St Day. The storm broke 5 minutes later just as I reached home!
