Kenidjack

A peaceful scene.
I don t remmeber ever doing that but I tended to walk or cycle up to St Just Churchtown.. Mother and I had to do get out and walk up the steep part of Sennen Cove Hill on a couple of occasions. Mind you that was about 50 years ago when ancient buses were wheeled out to do the summer only coastal service Land s End to St Ives.
 
I never had to get off a bus, but see that from your experiences at Sennen that some West Country hills were beating the buses even in living memory. What I had in mind was my Mother would always described something taking great effort as ‘like the bus going up from Nancherrow’ from a time remembered in her youth when the first motor buses came in. There was also a word of caution regarding the perils of catching the last bus back from Penzance on a Saturday night. Was this bus the Greyhound?
 
The problem wasn t so much catching the last bus home from Penzance as missing the last bus home from Penzance. Brer stank up over Newbridge Hill in the middle of the night I tell ee, from experience. Of course , Corpus Christ,i not going down station to catch it was as good as missing it.
The last bus wasn t so bad. I learnt two new settings of While Sheps on that bus one night; can t bring them to mind now mind.
 
No sympathy for having to walk back – probably waited at the Greenmarket corner to catch the bus and spent to long geeking at those Penzance maids. Singing on the bus that’s a thing of the past – bootifull.
 
Sorry, the title is totally wrong. Kenidjack Valley is a separate place to Tregeseal Valley. You can t have Kenidjack in the Tregeseal Valley as they are 2 different places, separated by Nancherrow. Ignore the sign, it is wrong. :-x
 
A little cartography may be required, or at least the Grid Reference for the sheds? laugh#
 
I regret that google earth is not the last word by a long chalk as to place names. It may be a cracking piece of toast as far as satellite imagery is concerned, but the rest I take with a wodge of saline drip.
 
Treeve s got a point DDD. Remember when Google got the name of Boswedden Road wrong!
Do we know a brave soul who is willing to venture up these parts and investigate?
