Don't know if you know PNZ ?
Walk out of the station and there's a greasy spoon outside - carry on through the traffic lights and there's a good Chippy & Ice-cream shop, 10 yards on take the elevator through the Wharfside shopping centre and there half a dozen good Pasty shops.
Look for the longest distance milepost at PNZ.
On the way down past Exeter look for the herds of deer at Powderham Castle, Totnes two miles past on the left are herds of Rhea, coming into St Germans on the viaduct look right for a cottage with a row of cannons in the garden, Lostwithiel just past the station are Osritch of varying sizes to the right...tons to see and the weather looks OK.

Thanks for those tips, chrisoates.... only got 45 mins in PNZ, just time to grab a beer (hopefully dog friendly pub near station) and a proper pasty and a few photos around the station. Will look out for the mile marker on the way in and out of PNZ to try get a pic of it!

The whole of PNZ is 30 seconds from the station - Pub is out of station turn right - cross road. |

Having escaped there for the may bank holiday I can attest the whole of penzance is 30 seconds from the station - 45 minutes is about all you'll need.
There's a decent wetheryspoons at top of hill and I know they accept bow wows

Well, day one complete. Certainly picked a fine day to start this mammoth task! I'll post a fuller report on each day once I've digested my notes and edited the photos. I will just say that I wish I could've factored in more time in St Ives - the weather was cracking, Jess loved the beach and the pint of St Austell Tribute in the Sloop Inn on the harbourside went down a treat! Couldn't work out why there were so many Germans in St Ives today though! Just one photo for the time being..... one of the stations I passed through today.....   |

On the contrary, Jo: that is Taunton. It looks so quaint, doesn't it, in artificial light - such as that provided by a traditional Bardic lamp? CfN.  |

I was actually quite impressed by the effect I got by pressing the camera lens up against a MK3 coach window.  |
