For a self-confessed "boatie", who's natural habitat is noodling up Fal creeks, Philip Marsden has a real sense of the majesty, natural history, spiritual and industrial curiosity of the South West uplands of the UK. I felt a great deal of empathy with him as he settled into his new home (or avoided it) and roved from Glastonbury in Somerset to his current home county of Cornwall. The myths, the history and the characters of this county are endlessly fascinating and completely bypassed by the beach tourists and surfers. This is the real Cornwall... well, part of it anyway...there are some nice wet bits as well.
