Hello from Tintagel, and happy Valentines day.  I have been hiking for a week and have not been able to find computer access until now.  I have hikedalong the North coast of Cornwall in South Western England from Lands End to Padstow, about 60 miles.  It took me 7 days, and it has been so much fun.  I hope to do it again some day.  Yesterday the weather got stormy so I opted to take the bus from Padstow to Tintagel rather than walk.  Tintagel is famous in the Arturian tales for being the place were King Arthur was conceived by Uther Pendragon and Igrane with the help of Merlin the Magiacian.  The castle which I am going to go see in a minute is actually not the medievil castle from the legend but sits where it would have.  The castle ruins there today are from a certain Duke of Cornwall built in the 13th century.  The Bed and Breakfast where I am staying is from the 14th century, so its older than the United States of America!  Happy Valentines Day!
