I only went and did it! Bloody hell, it seems surreal that I have finished. The walk from Pendeen Watch to Sennen was perfect. The sun shone for most of the walk apart from one sharp shower. I walked with Andy from St Just to Sennen. The sea was wild and spray was covering us… Continue reading Day 25 I did it!

Day 24 St Ives to Pendeen Watch
It was my penultimate walk and the book said severe. I was not looking forward to it because the last severe walk to Port Issac was punishing. Made a good start out of St Ives around the Island and headed of away from Porthmeor Beach. Unfortunately the signs for the path were confusing and I… Continue reading Day 24 St Ives to Pendeen Watch
Day 24 Hayle to St Ives
Perfect day for walking cool but sunny. It was easy section, with only a small amount of cliff walking. Great to have a relaxed day. If you ever want to see a beautiful church call into Lelant which is a couple of miles out of Hayle.Its 10 or 11th century. The carving in the ceiling… Continue reading Day 24 Hayle to St Ives
Day 23 Portreath to Hayle
Despite torrential rain again first thing , it had almost dried up by 11am. The first day I have actually done the walk more quickly than the time stated in the book. It was a fairly easy leg without many ups and downs. About 12 miles. Came across the Moors and then onto Godrevey and… Continue reading Day 23 Portreath to Hayle
Day 22 Gale Storm Force 10
The weather was the worst yet. It was raining so hard the track was more like a river! Walking as a gale was blowing was interesting too. The path took me through lots of abandoned tin mines and if the weather had been better the views would have been dramatic. Long walk about 13 miles… Continue reading Day 22 Gale Storm Force 10
Day 21 Sunshine after the fall
After the sleep of the dead in Newquay I caught the bus from Treyarnon to Newquay and then had an easy walk from the harbour to Perranporth. There was a few sharp showers but soon the sun came out. I had just walked across Crantock Beach when a …….Cornish stone in the middle of the… Continue reading Day 21 Sunshine after the fall
Day 20 No walking
Unfortunately another wet day. Woke up feeling unwell. Probably overtired as I had n’t slept much. Walked round to Constantine Bay. Then the bus to Newquay. On the way I had a phone call from Luggage Transfer who said I was n’t booked in to my B&B ! I then had to spend my time… Continue reading Day 20 No walking
Day 19 Will it ever stop raining and some silly thoughts
i left from Treyarnon for a 13 mile walk but in the end it was about 15. So legs are tired tonight. It has rained most of the day which is getting a bit predictable. Felt a little homesick today for the first time. Just wanted to get into my own bed instead of an… Continue reading Day 19 Will it ever stop raining and some silly thoughts
Day 18 Bye bye to friends or not quite
Had another lovely evening at B&B want to adopt the two people who own it; they were so welcoming. Jayne & Gez picked me up after they packed their tent away and then we dropped the evil backpack at Treyarnon Hostel. Then back to Trevone to start my walk. We said our goodbyes and I… Continue reading Day 18 Bye bye to friends or not quite
Day 17 Wet & windy
Walked with Jayne again today. We went from Polzeath to Trevone. It was lovely because I waspicked up and brought back to the B&B this was great as the weather was grim. We walked to Rock, then caught the ferry to Padstow. It was windy with driving rain and the beaches were beautiful as they… Continue reading Day 17 Wet & windy
