⛰️ More Than Words – Episode 49: Moor Than Meets The Eye ⛰️
From supplement‑induced self‑respect to Cornwall emptying its entire historical junk drawer onto the route, this episode escalates like a county that’s lost the run of itself. Smugglers, Templars, panthers, hermits, lepers, ghost birds, diva stone — Cornwall is in full performance mode.
Featuring:
💊 Supplement shame — three bottles, a pill organiser, and a man crossing a line
🍺 Walk‑pub combo — the only fitness plan that’s actually sustainable
🪨 Polyphant stone — geological Mariah Carey: stunning indoors, tantrums outdoors
🚨 Plusha Junction — Cornwall’s least cheerful landmark
🤼 Fivelanes wrestling — 2,000 years of folding people into the landscape
⛪ Wesley Cottage — Methodism, tiny rooms, and 18th‑century electrification
🏴‍☠️ Jamaica Inn — smuggling, du Maurier, and paranormal evenings with a two‑course meal
🐾 Beast of Bodmin — panther? rug fragment? government shrug emoji
⚔️ Temple Templars — Cornish Gretna Green with bonus medieval banking
🪨 Callywith Cross — medieval landmark repeatedly misplaced and reassembled
⛪ Bodmin — saints, rebellions, plague, and a parish church that looks like it ate all the others
Cornwall goes maximalist here — folklore, chaos, granite, ghosts, smugglers, and a big‑cat investigation that reads like a government department trying not to make eye contact. A stage that never stops throwing curveballs.
