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

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

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

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

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

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

It was another beautiful sunny day and it would have been good to set off early, but there was n’t a bus from Tintagel until just past 10am, so with a change in Camelford I did n’t start walking until 11.30am. Port Issac was absolutely heaving with people who were visiting the home of ‘Doc… Continue reading Day 16 Sunny walk to Polzeath

I walked from Tintagel to Port Issac today – the book said severe so I braced myself for a hard day. It was extremely hot which made it more challenging but I managed far easier than some of the challenging sections iI did in week 1. Do n’t  get me wrong I huffed & puffed… Continue reading Day 15 I musta be getting fitter 

Annie and the dogs walked the first couple of miles with me which was great. I then carried on to Boscastle. God it was hard work. Some of the ups & downs were extremely steep. Crossed the highest part of the Cornish section of the path. Warm & sunny by the afternoon. Stunning scenery. Met… Continue reading Day 14 Crackington Haven to Tintagel
