The recent road trip that Nath and I undertook, taking in a few new marks around the Cornish coast, has really inspired me. It was truly liberating being out there, essentially getting closer to nature and taking in new locations and quite frankly I want more. So i've been thinking, I need a new challenge in my life and whilst doing some research this evening on the internet, focusing on a particular mark that I want to fish, I had an epiphany. Why focus on individual marks? It's too much of a siloed approach to trying to explore the wonderful coast we have here in the south-west. I need to start thinking bigger.......much bigger!

As things panned out, what with the weather of recent days and the lack of sleep on the trip, day 5 of our cross Cornwall Road Journey turned out to be quite a sedate affair.

Our initial plan was to get out on a boat - a trip kindly offered by a fellow member in possession of a Dory and holidaying down there - and fish the Fowey Estuary.

Regrettably, the weather put the mockers on our plans to fish the Lizard (Prilla) with John, so instead we chose to head up to Fowey a day early (as mentioned in our Day 4 post) and get prepped and geared up for the big day afloat on Day 5.
