Time to wonder along the narrow roads that are a feature of Mevagissey and to look at the many shops that seem to cater for the tourists there, purchasing a very reasonably priced leather holder for a mobile phone from The Leather Shop and still have time to enjoy a Cornish cream tea, before making our way to the bus stop at the Ship Inn, where we board the 1804 Western Greyhound service 526 to Gorran Haven car park (having first notified the driver of our wishes as the onward route consists of request stops that are to be notified in advance to the driver) and we arrive there at 1825 on Tuesday afternoon.

An excellent timing by the driver on that last service, noting that there are few onward services at this time on some of the lesser-frequented bus routes, enables us to board the 2031 Western Greyhound service 597 to Newquay (Narrowcliff) that arrives there at 2049 on Wednesday evening.
