it's Monday the 8th of May we are at
pensant station we're saying goodbye to

country service we're going to make our
way down to Falmouth back up to Nuki and
end the day in
lard thanks penans thank you sunny day
beautiful sunny day loveely sunny
[Music]
day
[Music]
we are leaving penants for the last time
on our journey and our next stop will be
St Earth and then we will go to The
elusive hail so we're specifically
catching this train this morning so that
we can go to hail and then on to farm
with
[Music]
dogs
hey town and Palmer do this train has
two
Coes
this is the fmer train this is Truro
apparently tro is a really nice place to
go loads of cafes and shops and things
but we don't have time we have to catch
the F with
[Music]
treee and denn his castle uh that's
where we're headed now and uh for those
of you who have been following for a
while you'll know that I love a good
Castle so I'm very excited come on Jeff
yeah we're at F with docks uh Vicki just
posted a good picture of Instagram
there's three there's a guard a trainee
guard and a ticket inspector Revenue
three lovely ladies and um we took their
picture and they saw our t-shirts they
saw our camera and they were like what
are you doing they they worked out that
we were on that we were on for something
and they and they saw our alline Rover
tickets and they were like aha they have
alline Rover tickets saw the t-shirts
and uh and they worked it
out
now the thing about castles is that
they're always for tactical purposes on
top of a
hill but when you've only got an hour
before your next
train that could be quite
tiring but if you come to farmouth I
mean hopefully you're not going going to
bring a big backpack and you'll plan
your day so you can take a oh downhill
thank
goodness why do you like castles and
tell us about
Moes so castles have different uh
formations uh mot and Bailey castles are
probably the most prominent types of
castles when this Castle would have been
built the the mot or moat would have
been likely much deeper than it is now
probably full of water to maybe some
sewage to prevent uh attackers from
getting up the hill to the keep the
reason or one of the reasons I love
Castle so much is is their the
technology that they used at the time
natural defenses like being on top of a
hill creating these moates pork cuses
gruesome murder holes just think it was
just
incredible let's go in the
moat
[Music]
I thought I'd lost you I just saying I
think it's pretty cool that you can see
it in Dry Dock and you can see I said
men but men and women of course uh
working on it obviously doing some sort
of refurbishment or upkeep of the boat
itself
somewhere here there's a geocache the
clue is the maritime line so this is
clearly the poster so somewhere
here put
geach
[Music]
Vick is's chatting to the uh the
environmental man there's a gentleman
whose job it is to go around basically
doing all the letter on the
[Music]
railway form of town it's lunchtime you

Branch the taxi driver who who took me
here there was a few noises on the way

the car park changing his tire I did
offer to help although I did say I've
never changed a tire in my life you know
I can hold things and he assured me that
that that would not be necessary
