Weekly round-up: Stories you may have missed

A surprise pine marten sighting, the last stone being laid for a labyrinth in Cornwall after seven years of work and a flurry of snow on Dartmoor are among the stories from south-west England this week.

We have selected some stories you may have missed from the region.

King Charles III and Queen Camilla made light of their struggle to cut a cake while celebrating the Eden Project's 25th anniversary.

The pair giggled at the Cornwall site as they used a sword to slice the sturdy cake, which was baked to launch preparations for community events in June.

During a tour of the Eden Project's distinctive domed biomes, the King remarked on the many impressive plants, saying "there was nothing" growing when he first visited.

Later, on a visit to nearby St Austell, hecklers tried to question him about Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein – but were told to "shut up" by a woman in the cheering crowd.

The charity Guide Dogs has been training the staff at Exeter Airport to be "sighted guides" to make it more accessible for visually-impaired passengers.

Staff have been learning how different sight conditions can change how much a customer can see and how to offer assistance if someone requests it.

Working in pairs, the training involves one person wearing a blindfold, while the other guides them around check-in desks, through security and onto a flight all the time describing where they are going and what is around them.

It was hoped the training would allow staff to understand the needs of those with sight loss as they try to navigate the busy airport environment.

A satellite earth station in Cornwall is set to play a role in Nasa launching its Artemis II mission to the Moon.

Nasa said it was on track to launch its Artemis II mission in early April, which would see astronauts fly around the Moon for the first time in more than 50 years.

Goonhilly Earth Station, near Helston, will help to track the Orion spacecraft as it travels around the Moon and back to Earth.

The satellite and space company has been involved in events such as broadcasting the Apollo 11 Moon landing to the world in 1969 and landing a commercial spacecraft on the moon for the first time.

A 19-year-old surfer has described the moment he rode the "wave of my life" at the notorious Mullaghmore break in Ireland.

North Devon surfer Malakai Hagley's moment on the huge wave went viral on social media, with 11‑time world champion Kelly Slater commenting: "That looks fake! What a ride!"

Hagley said waking up to praise from Slater was overwhelming: "Kelly is the man. To have even a little respect from him blew my mind."

Hagley, who grew up near Croyde and works as a surf coach on the beach, travelled to Mullaghmore in County Sligo, encouraged by big‑wave rider Andrew Cotton, also from north Devon.

A pine marten has been caught on camera in Cornwall in what conservationists hope could be the start of a comeback in the county.

Kernow Conservation recorded the creature during routine monitoring on the Trewithen Estate, near Truro, where staff have been working to restore native wildlife.

The footage was captured on a camera which was set up to track reintroduced water voles.

Nellie Kottler, from the estate, said the team had been "utterly staggered" by the discovery.

The last stone of a labyrinth in Cornwall called Kerdroya has been laid, marking the completion of a seven-year project.

It was the vision of Will Coleman, who was responsible for the Man Engine project, who said he believed it was the largest classical labyrinth in the world, built alongside Colliford Lake on Bodmin Moor.

It is a masterpiece of Cornish hedging, with almost 800m (2,600ft) of it, stretching one mile (1.6km), and showcasing 12 regional styles of this 4,000-year-old craft.

Coleman said: "Without the support of our community hedge-pledgers, sponsors and skilled craftsmen, this project would never have got off the ground, let alone reached completion."

Snow swept across Dartmoor on Wednesday, catching early visitors by surprise and dusting the moor with whiteness before the sunshine returned.

Derek Robbins from the Fox Tor Cafe in Princetown filmed the moment and said the weather changed in seconds.

"It keeps you on your toes and to be honest it's not predictable all the time and it's nice to know that it can be snowing one minute and then sunny the next."

Minutes after the flurry, sunshine broke through again. "From one extreme to the other," he said. "Who knows what we're going to get later."
