An excellent walk from St Just to Lands End. Lands End was just as tacky as I remember it from many years ago and the cost of 2 singles and a dog on the 300 bus service back to St Just was just breath taking. But top wal…
Cape Cornwall is where the tides divide between the English Channel and the Bristol Channel. Apparently. The post industrial Cornish mining landscape has been the subject of thousands of photographs but is still very im…
Yet another lovely Cornwall cliff walk - apart from the scary bits. Porthcurno beach is stunning and has made it into Scoobys top three beaches. The car park charges are a scandal though. Wild? I was livid.
What was I thinking? A birthday holiday in Cornwall going cliff walking When I have the teensiest problem with vertigo. However this was the only walk that had me wanting to crawl along on my hand and knees. I would have…
A drive from one side of Cornwall to the other to do Lizzies favourite walk. The rain and fog from north Cornwall didnt make it down to the south coast to affect this walk from Cawsand to Rame head and back again.
A Scooby walk from Flushing to Mylor for an expensive coffee! Returned just as the first rains for the predicted storm started to arrive.
A woodland walk round the Trelissick estate on the Fal estuary. The last part of the walk was to the Iron Age fort and Roundwood Quay
A walk along the Helford Estuary, back inland and then along Frenchmans Creek back to the village of Helford
A walk from Mylor Bridge to Restronguet Creek to the Pandora Inn. The Pandora Inn had burnt down since the last time we were here but has been sympathetically restored. Back along Mylor Creek to the Mylor Bridge
A walk from Maenporth Beach via RoseMullion Head and the Helford. Summer finally arrived on the last day of our summer holidays! Beautiful views from Rosemullion Head including some of the C Class catamarans preparing fo…
A shortish walk along part of Pennaporth beach in the gloopy mist. Scooby, of course, played sticky stick the whole way.
A stomp around the North Devon coast on the only misty day of our stay at North Morte campsite
A walk up the valley gorge from Lymouth to Watersmeet. Very like the Teign Valley from Dogmarsh Bridge to Fingle Glenn except bigger. Much bigger. Path detailed in the guide book didnt seem to exist.
Wet. Very wet. Amazingly managed to avoid the rain on this walk to one of the 2 pubs in CawsandKingsand that hadnt been flooded overnight. Excellent fish soup at the Rising Sun.
Tye's first walk to Rame Head. Our 47th walk to Rame Head - probably. Very nice day for it too. Saw one of those autonomous boat things and then went back to Maker Heights for the first time in a couple of years.
Very hot day so too hot to take Scooby on our usual Rame Head walk. So we stopped at Penlee Point and watched a helicopter taking off with supplies for the Eddystone Light House.
A lovely paddle up the Fowey from the Bodinnick Ferry to about 0.5 NM short of Lostwithiel. Turned round as river was clearly starting to ebb (a little bit ahead ahead of Fowey high water) and didn't fancy traversing mud…
Paid an outrageous £6 for parking at Land's End and then promptly headed off to Gwenapp Head. Watched yacht doing the "inshore passage" round Land's End and then had lunch at Porthgwarra Cafe. Back via an inland route an…
A round trip from Polperro to Talland. Out along the coast path and back in land a bit. The hill out of Talland is a bit of a bxxxxr if you are old fat and unfit. No problem for me then...
A short walk along the coast path for Scoobys early evening perambulation.
A morning constitutional for Scooby before the rain came in
From Cawsand to Rame Head on a Lizzie big birthday. Drinking champagne at the end of Rame Head in a hail storm in January!
A circular walk from CAMC campsite near Bovisand down to the estuary and along to Heybrook Bay. Back past The Mussel Inn where we are heading later for dinner.
Too windy to go kayaking so we took the ferry from Cawsand to Plymouth - the first time in all the years we've been coming to Cawsand / Kingsand. A very "rolly" boat for the F5 winds (but given that it "lands" on the bea…
From Millbrook up the Tamar to the entrance to the Lyhner River. Top paddling with lots of war like stuff in the Plymouth Dockyards juxtaposed with beautiful countryside on the other side. Next time, we'll take the car a…
A walk down from Bolberry Farm Camping to Hope Cove for a pint. Fxxx me - £10 for two pints! Are we in London? Wow. Nice walk and campsite though.
A circular walk from Looe inland to Talland bay and then back along the coast path. Loads of rainbows - but then it was sunny and rainy. Quite a long walk for us given the ups and downs involved
From Mylor Bridge to Mylor Harbour and on past Restronguet Sailing Club
Lovely dinner at the Pandora Inn - first of the holiday. The 1 in 4 hill on the way back was a bit of an ask when full of Cornish Ratler and Gurnard (or Guiness and Mackerel in Lizzie's case)
Mylor Harbour round to Flushing and then back up Mylor Creek. Top paddle! Very slight swell from SE winds when going along the shore before turning into the the Falmouth shelter.
