| Cawsand to Plymouth | 2023-09-05 | 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 beach at Cawsand I guess it doesn't have much draught.

Liz and I got married at Polhawn Fort (the other side of the peninsula from Cawsand). There musty have been another wedding that day as someone had hired a pilot to "paint" hearts in the sky. Ah - sweet!

| Transat start at Plymouth | 2016-05-02 | From Cawsand to Penlee Point to watch the start of the single handed Transat yacht race. Breakfast at Kingsand and then sat in the drizzly rain at Penlee Point for a couple of hours but the gloop mostly cleared in time for the start of the race. As much fun watching the milling spectator boats as the competitors.

| Quick paddle round Cawsand/Kingsand bay | 2015-09-25 | The forecast offshore north to north west turned out to be almost a southerly so there some small waves as we headed off from Cawsand to Fort Picklecombe. So we turned round and went a little way towards Penlee Point. A very short paddle overall but it broke up the drive home at the end of our summer holidays.

| Rame Head | 2015-06-29 | Liz's favourite walk! A visit after a weekend in Lostwithiel with Richard & Helen to take in Motorhead and The Stranglers at the Eden Sessions.
As I was wandering along the coastpath, I was idly wondering whether I've seen Motorhead more times that Liz has "dragged" me along the coastpath to Rame Head.
It's a difficult one to call but I would guess I've been to Motorhead about 20 times (19 times with Richard T). I would guess that I've walked the Cawsand to Rame head path about 15 times (15 times with Lizzie W). So Motorhead are just in front. After the Motorhead performance on Saturday at the Eden Project, I'm guessing that Rame Head walks are going to catch up soon.
Dog tried to eat cliff top ponies - ponies disagreed with concept - I had to explain error in thinking to dog.

| Moonlit walk to dinner | 2014-01-13 | A round trip from Fort Pickelcombe to the Devonport Inn.
Along the cliff path in the moon light. Romantic and muddy in about equal measures.
