January 2021

16.01. Portreath and back. 51k
23.01. Roche and back. 64k
27.01. Perranporth and St Agnes. 50k

Apparently this has been the coldest January since 2010.

In Cornwall it has been one of the wettest January's for some time and also colder than normal although probably not cold by the standards set further north last month. We have only seen a few snow flakes so far.
