Girl guides take over tall ship
12:54pm Friday 27th August 2010 in
Three girl guides from Cornwall are sailing around the coast of UK by Tall Ship.
Lucy Innes, a guide from Falmouth Senior Section, and her Cornish compatriots left Falmouth Docks last Friday onboard the Nelson training ship.
The 15-year-old Truro School pupil was among other guides from around the country who are taking part on the eighth ten-day leg of a 100-day journey around the UK's coast to celebrate 100 years of Girl Guiding. Also onboard is Cornwall's county commissioner Mary Eddy.
Lucy said one of things she was most looking forward to was climbing the rigging.
The girls will help sail the ship from Falmouth to Milford Haven in Wales, via Ireland. They hope to be able to stop at a few places, including Ireland, during their trip.
After leaving the docks the ship sailed around The Lizard and Land's End before heading across to Ireland.
