Cornwall Coast Path walk
There was a good turn out for this entertaining and informative talk on the Cornwall Coast Path by Rob & Denise. The whole path is over 600 miles, Rob & Denise did the 203 miles from Bude to Falmouth. They spent 17 nights under canvas and 7 nights in B&B.
The start at Bude, 203 miles to go!
Below you can see one of the many steep climbs on the walk - this one from Crackington Haven, on the way to Boscastle - 18 miles this leg.
The next day was also a long one - via Tintagel to Polzeath, 19 miles. A welcome rest after quite a tiring day.
Below is Wheal Coates, one of the many disused Mine buildings.
Some of the inhabitants of Portcothan were in fine form! | Afternoon teas became a regular activity, a welcome sit down in a comfy chair. |
Best Camp site - at Gwithian | Above is Porthminster beach, next to St Ives. Gwithian camp site is across the bay! |
St Ives harbour in bright sunshine, another nice day. | Many flowers were out - late June. This is ( I think) a heath spotted orchid. |
Land's end - 126 miles done |
