Fort Picklecombe to Cawsand and back 2014-01-12 A morning constitutional for Scooby before the rain came in
Lizzie birthday walk to Rame Head 2014-01-13 From Cawsand to Rame Head on a Lizzie big birthday. Drinking champagne at the end of Rame Head in a hail storm in January!
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. The Devonport was as good as old times. Good food, nice wine, friendly..
Fort Picklecombe and Mount Edgcumbe 2014-01-14 From Fort Picklecombe round the Mount Edgcumbe estate to Cremyl and then back over Maker Heights
Scooby walk along Seaton beach 2014-01-15 A lowish tide walk along Seaton Beach so Scooby could have some ball chase practise
Polhawn remembered 2014-01-16 Cawsand to Polhawn and along the cliff paths to the View Cafe (shut). Back via Wiggle.
Rainbows and rain - Looe to Talland Bay 2014-01-17 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
Mylor harbour for breakfast 2014-09-06 From Mylor Bridge to Mylor Harbour and on past Restronguet Sailing Club
Mylor Bridge to the Pandora 2014-09-06 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 to Flushing 2014-09-07 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.
The Helford and Frenchman's Creek 2014-09-08 From Helford Passage via Frenchman's Creek up into Mawgan Creek towards the top of the Helford Estuary. A little windy on the way back meant plenty of exercise!
Mylor Harbour to Trelissick 2014-09-09 From Mylor Harbour to Trelissick and back via Looe Beach. Tried teaching Scooby to swim at Looe Beach but he was too much of a wuss - even for strawberry ice cream.
Scooby at Perranporth 2014-09-10 After putting up with three days of canoeing, Scooby gets some recompense with a walk along Perranporth beach. We walked 5 miles - he probably ran 15 miles.
St Anthony Head hound walk 2014-09-11 Too windy for canoeing (F5/6 from the east) so a yomp with the hound around St Anthony Head. Top walk with just about the right amount of up and downiness.
Anniversary dinner at the Pandora Inn 2014-09-11 After the 6.5 miles yomp round St Anthony Head, another mile and half to the Pandora Inn for our anniversary dinner. Fifteen years married, 21 years together and 30 years since we met. Less for murder as they say (and Liz never reads this blog - I think)!
Manacles, mines & Roskilly's ice cream farm 2014-09-13 A walk round part of the Lizard peninsula taking in views of the Manacles rocks, old quarries / mines and then, best of all, on to the farm that makes Roskilly's ice cream! Some steep up and downy bits along the way.
Sunday morning breakfast at Mylor 2014-09-14 A walk along Mylor Creek to Mylor Harbour for breakfast. Sat on the beach and watched some boats getting surprised by how windy it was.
Trebah Gardens 2014-09-15 Liz did plants. Scooby and I did reading and digging holes on the beach (maybe not in that order).
Looe beach to Malpas 2014-09-16 A canoe trip from Loe beack up pass Trellisick and King Harry Ferry on to just past Malpas (on the way to Truro). It was a bit windy - force 5 ish - so we didn't go all the way to Truro although we'd got up very early on a holiday day to catch the tide.
Mawgan Porth and Watergate Bay 2014-09-17 Actually the GPS track is just of Mawgan Porth but most of Scooby's walk was at Watergate Bay which is one bay to the west of here and quite a bit bigger. Good crab soup at the Beach Hut at Watergate Bay.
Flushing and Mylor 2014-09-18 A round trip from Mylor Bridge to Flushing and then back via Mylor Harbour. Very nice lunch at the cafe at Mylor harbour.
Morthoe and north Devon coast 2012-09-04 A stomp around the North Devon coast on the only misty day of our stay at North Morte campsite
Lynmouth to Watersmeet 2012-09-06 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.
Fort Picklecombe to Cawsand 2012-11-25 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.
Kayak Puncture! 2023-09-09 A second puncture (in a about 4 year's use) in our Sea Eagle 465 inflatable kayak put paid to our kayaking plans for the day. Instead we spent a bit of time on Bar Beach on the Helford avoiding the day's strongest sun. Scooby still doesn't like swimming.
Woolacombe Beach 2021-09-26 We couldn't visit north Devon without giving Scooby Hound a blast along Woolacombe Beach at low tide. Scooby's a bit of an old boy now so we restricted his "ball action". He was still too puffed out at the end of the walk so we're going to have to go even gentler with him going forward. He is 77 after all.
Constantine Bay 2019-09-19 James Corden was teaching his dog to do "back flips" on the beach (see photos). Walked to Porthcothan and then on to Constantine Bay for ice creams and a bit of Scooby ball chasing. Doubled the length of the walk just to get some wine from the local shops!
Short doggie walk at Seaton 2012-11-29 After the stomps of the last few days a short doggie walk at Seaton. Not short for Scooby as he chased the ball all over the low tide beach. Photos of the holiday home Liz used to stay in as a kid at Downderry
Polperro to Talland and back 2012-11-30 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...
Zennor and scary cliffs 2013-04-12 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 done as well if we didnt have our daft hound bounding along looking for rabbits and birds to chase. Survival was a pleasant surprise. The views over Seal Island were spectacular and it lived up to its name with 6 seals on the island and another surfing in the waves below us.
Porthcurno and the Minack 2013-04-11 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.
Cape Cornwall and Cornish mining 2013-04-08 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 impressive if somewhat melancholy.
Morthoe walk 2022-09-18 A slightly new take on an old favourite walk around Morthoe. A long walk for us - especially given the slightly fearsome uppy/downy bits on the coast path. The final climb to Morte Point was just as super-scary as I remembered it.
Another day, another drift 2015-04-06 Bank holiday Monday promised a little more wind. There was some for about 20 minutes. Then Liz paddled us back.
Woolacombe Beach 2022-09-17 We couldn't come to north Devon without giving Scooby Hound his walk on Woolacombe Beach. However, because he is an old boy, we have to reduce the amount of time he gets to spend haring around after the ball on the beach. So the outward leg was along Marine Drive rather than the beach.
Treen Car Park 2021-09-17 Because Treen Campsite was full with a VW Camper rally (with Seth Lakeman playing), we parked up in the rather splendid Treen village car park (£10 a night - the photo of the cruise ship taken from the car park).
Perranporth 2019-09-18 Dog on beach at Perranporth. Dog happy. Dog swallowed so much sea water he puked in the camper van that night. Which was nice.
The Lizard and Kynance Cove 2015-09-14 Thought it it be nice to see the most southerly point in Engalnd in a force eight gale. Walking along a cliff top into a 40 knot wind with a less than bright hound on the lead turned out to be hard work! Glad it was a short walk.
Perranporth 2015-09-15 Scooby's second favourite beach in the whole world. We walked 5 miles - he probably ran somewhere between 15 and 20 miles. Scooby now crashed out asleep!
Flushing and Mylor 2015-09-16 A circular route to Flushing and back via Mylor Harbour
Hayle Towans and The Bucket Of Blood 2015-09-17 Scooby's beach holiday continues! In theory there are five separate beaches from Hayle (there are certainly five separate lifguard stations) but at low tide they all blend into one seemingly endless beach. Scooby chased the ball from one end to the other. The Bucket Of Blood is the name of a pub in Phillack, Hayle - we didn't stop there but the name makes a good title for the walk.
Rosemullion Head and Mawnan 2015-09-18 Round Rosemullion Head and back via Mawnan Smith. Lovely walk but the plan was slightly spoilt as the midges on the Head put paid to the idea of reading there for a couple of hours.
Morthoe Fish And Chips 2022-09-16 Been looking forward to this for 3 months! With over 3 months of healthy eating / weight loss behind me, I'd been looking forward to a proper fish and chips overlooking Woolacombe Bay. Lovely.
St Agnes 2023-09-12 Scooby Hound was feeling a bit poorly (not eating - very unlike him) so his walk on Perranporth was cancelled). My mid afternoon he'd picked up and wolfed down a late lunch. So we had a short walk to a alter lunch at the Wheal Coates Tea Room.
Camel Trail 2019-09-20 Walked from Wadebridge to Padstow and back. Lots of cyclists! Padstow hugely crowded as usual but fine for a pastie and ice cream. Long walk for us - 12.5 miles.
Helston, The Loe and Porthleven 2015-09-22 From Helston to Porthleven via The Loe (the largest freshwater lake in Cornwall held in by Loe Bar) and the Penrose Estate. Porthleven nice but Liz noticed that 4 out of every 5 houses is a holiday let. Liz enraptured with the Salty Caramel ice cream. Porthleven is, apparently, the most southerly port in the UK.
Dinner at The Pandora 2015-09-22 Lovely fish pie dinner at the "Pan". After a nine mile walk earlier in the day, the drag back up the hill from The Pandora after dinner was just what Lizzie wanted!
Sunny Corner Quay and the Tresillian River 2015-09-23 From the small Sunny Corner Quay on the edge of Truro round to the Tresillian River on the Fal Estuary. Not too far today as there was a keen wind to be paddled against on the way back down the Tresillian.
Portloe and the Roseland Heritage Coast 2015-09-24 A rather long and rather hard walk (for us) as the last walk of our summer hols. From Carne Beach on the south side of the Roseland peninsula, along the coast to Portloe and back via Veryan and Treworlas beach. Longer than the guide book said and some steep hills! Not too scary on the cliff tops. 320 meters of vertical elevation apparently - no wonder we were knackered at the end!
Port Quin to Port Issac 2024-09-19 So the walking guide said there would be sections of the walk from Port Quin to Port Issac that would be unfenced vertical drops. I was hoping that they'd be towards the end where it would be too much effort to turn around. But they were right from the start. I like my coast paths to have a wall or a field or preferably both between me and instant death. Not about one foot and then oblivion. So we turned round and tried an alternate root. But that didn't work out either so we retraced our steps and took the inland root. Port Issac nice enough in an "overrun by tourists with a Doc Martin fetish" sort of way. No complaints about the pasty or ice cream though.
Boscastle 2022-09-15 A cliff walk from Trewethett Farm campsite to Boscastle. Then up from Boscastle through the old village and to the top of the overlooking hills. Felt a lot more that the 215 metres shown on the elevation graph. Back via St Nectan's Waterfall (without paying to see them). If doing this walk again, reminder to self to wear long trousers as a fair bit of the paths were overgrown with nettles.
Perranporth for Scooby Hound 2021-09-19 Scooby Hound would have the sulks for weeks if he found at we'd been to Cornwall an not given him a low tide walk at Perranporth. Sccoby's knocking on a bit but would still run until he drops - it's just that he'd drop a bit earlier these days so the "ball action" has to be rationed a little bit.
Rainy Mevagissey 2022-09-03 A decent off road walk from Heligan campsite down to Megavissey. Got rained on in Meva - a lot. Good coffee on the outer harbour wall.
Seahouses to Bamburgh 2016-09-05 First walk along the Northumbrian coast. From just north of Seahouses along to just south of Bamburgh. The Northumberland beaches are just as stunning as expected. Scooby very impressed if this was to be the quality of the beaches for the next two weeks.
Lindisfarne - Holy Island 2016-09-06 A walk around the island of Lindisfarne. The journey there was as expected with the road being a causeway accessible at low tide. Once there though, any thoughts of peaceful contemplation etc were blown away by the huge crowds. Skipping swiftly on past the priory and the castle (not least because we'd forgotten our NT cards), we yomped on to the north of the island which was much more pleasing. Scooby's second Northumberland beach well up to scratch apparently.
Dunstanburgh Castle and Craster 2016-09-07 Another day, another Northumberland beach for Scooby. A great walk along to the evocative ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle and then the excellent beaches at Embleton Bay. Back via Craster where the famous smoked fish shop / restaurant was advertising an interesting take on Cullen Skink soup. Unfortunately, they were shut at the time...
Dunbar and Belhaven 2016-09-08 Up to Scotland and to Dunbar. Found a good campsite and Belhaven Bay just to the west of Dunbar. The campsite backed on to Belhaven Bay - another excellent beach walk (not shown on the GPS track) for Scooby - his first Scottish one! Watched a group of Scots getting married on the "Bridge to Nowhere" at Belhaven Bay. Then an evening cliff top walk into Belhaven, past the harbour and then on to The Volunteer for a smoked haddock and mashed potato dinner.
St Teath 2024-09-18 Dinner at The White Hart in St Teath. Nice enough pub with decent food.
Porthleven - drinking and dining 2023-09-10 Stayed at the rather nice and basic Treza Camping. Then down into Porthleven for a pint or two and some food. Saw Trudy and Colin from Llantwit at the Harbour Inn and then visited the very nice Ship Inn. Find of the evening was The Mussel Shoal where we had truly excellent fish and chips (and another cider).
Chapel Porth 2021-09-18 In the rain and mist. Always seems to be mizzly when we come to St Agnes. Wheal Coates mine very atmospheric in the mist. Surprised at how little beach there was at Chapel Porth at mid tide. We'll have to come back closer to low tide.
Gorran Haven 2024-09-09 A quick beach walk for Scooby Hound. He loved it. Lots of hole digging in the sand and trotting along the beach. Sadly, it was to be his very last beach visit but he looks so happy and bouncy in the photos! Within 36 hours Scooby would be gone....
Alnwick 2016-09-10 A short walk around Alnwick, Again, we were too tight to pay the entrance fee for the castle. Mainly we wanted to see "Barter Books" - the second hand book shop in the old train station. An excellent, excellent shop. Long may they flourish after Starbucks, Next and all the others have fallen out of fashion and had a quick bankcruptcy. One can but hope - I could have spent hours in the place!
Demense Farm In Bellingham 2016-09-10 Heading west, we were back just below Hardrians Wall at Demense Farm campsite in Bellingham. A campsite on another working farm, Lizzie may object to me mentioning that she complained about the cow mooing overnight.
Kielder Observatory 2016-09-11 Into Kielder Forest and up from Kielder village to Kielder Observatory. Stunning view - but not of the observatory which unsurprisingly looked at little like a wooden box from the outside during the day time,
Skyside Campsite 2016-09-11 No doggie walk here but an absolutely stunning setting for our anniversary dinner outside a pub in the Lake District. I thought the Lake District was about, er, lakes. This campsite was surrounded by crags and pikes and, let's be honest, mountains. A stunning setting. Now known as Skyfall to Lizzie and Aidan (rather than the slightly more prosaic Skyside).
Coffee at Sennen 2024-09-18 Coffee at Sennen Cove. Very odd without the hound. Called in at the lifeboat station to see if there was news of what happened to the yacht that hit the Runnel Stone yesterday. There wasn't!
Railway Inn, St Agnes 2022-09-10 A walk into St Agnes to the Railway Inn. Served Aspall's cider, Guiness and the haddock and chips were fine for just over a tenner. Recommended.
Percuil Paddling 2021-09-16 From St Mawes on the Fal up the Percuil River just about as far as is navigable.
Lands End, Gwenapp and Porthgwarra 2019-09-13 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 and cabbage fields.
Kennexstone Camping 2016-09-15 Down from Anglesey to the Gower Peninsula in south Wales. Kennexstone Camping was a lovely spot on the south west side of the Gower. The camp site and the Gower were so nice we slowed down a bit a stayed for three days,
Rhossilli and Llangennith beach 2016-09-16 In a holiday of stunning beaches, this was probably the best. Or was that Llanddwyn Bay? I don't know but this was a sure fire entry into Scooby's all time top five set of beaches. Or probably even higher.
Three Cliffs Bay 2016-09-17 The last of the beaches on Scooby's "Tour Of Britain's Best Beaches". After 1650 miles and 16 days and ten beaches, our final beach was was at Three Cliffs Bay on the Gower. Not quite all to ourselves and there were several thousand people doing a 14 mile walk for Macmillan Nursing.
Looe 2017-09-12 A walk from Bay View Farm campsite down to Looe, on to Hannafore Point and then opposite St Georges Island
Treen to Lamorna 2024-09-17 A quite tough coast path walk from Treen via Penberth Cove and Tater Du lighthouse to Lamorna Cove. Lots of up and downy bits, some muddy bits, some very muddy bits and some scary as fxxk edge of cliff bits. So something for everyone really unless you want easy field walking. But the drama was watching a racing yacht running under full sails downwind a couple of hundred metres inside the Runnel Stone south cardinal at low tide and towards the breaking water. Looked again 2 minutes later and he was dropping all sails and clearly on the rocks. Rang the coastguard who, as expected, had already been informed (probably by Gwenapp Head Coast Watch). The coastguard said that Sennen RNLI had been tasked so we watched them arrive. Their offshore boat couldn't get too close because of the rocks so the launched their rib. We think they may have taken the sole (?) sailor off and then they waited until the yacht floated off the rocks after high tide. Not too sure what happened to the yacht after that!
Chapel Porth and Porthtowan 2022-09-10 Past the evocative Wheal Coates mine and down to Chapel Porth beach. With a Springs low tide we then walked along to Porthtowan beach. Scooby Hound very happy to have his first proper beach walk of the holiday.
Fowey Paddling 2021-09-14 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 banks,
Treen and Penberth Cove 2019-09-12 Walked to Penberth Cove - a Poldark favourite. Past Logan Rock and up through the woods to The Logan Rock pub for a pint. Chicken in residence at the pub.
Gwithian Towans 2017-09-17 From Gwithian FRam Campsite, a short walk along Gwithian Towans Beach. As the tide was coming in, we came back along the cliff top. Another top beach according to Scooby.
Godrevy and Hells Mouth 2017-09-18 From Gwithian Farm campsite, past Godrevy Beach and on past Godrevy Lighthouse. Then on past an inaccessible cove where about 15-20 seals were resting, Then on to the rather splendidly named Hells Mouth where the lonely Hells Mouth Cafe did a great cappuccino.
Perranporth Beach 2017-09-19 We couldn't come to Cornwall and not give Scooby an outing on Perranporth Beach - probably his favouritist in the world! So up fairly early to catch the low tide. Scooby a happy but tired hound.
Hartland Quay 2017-09-20 A short walk to dinner from Stoke Barton Campsite on Hartland Point. Hartland Point is a scary place if you think about sailing near it in the wind or fog and the granite "teeth" of the rocks only enhance this. The Hartland Quay Hotel was a really nice pub doing good food.
Porthcurno, Porthwarra and Gwenapp Head 2024-09-16 Slight variations on an old walk. The cafe at Porthgwarra is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays - damn! Gwenapp Head is so much more inspiring than Lands End. Spotted some Cornish Choughs eating cow shit. Back through fields of sweetcorn higher than either of us. And then down to Porthcurno Beach with an ice cream. Felt very odd / disloyal without Scooby Hound.
Perranuthnoe and Prussia Cove 2022-09-09 A new take on an older walk. This time starting from Perranuthnoe (near Marazion), going inland and then back along the coast path via Prussia Cove and Cudden Point. Got a little "Deliverance" at the Common near Kenneggy.
Heligan Gardens - again 2022-09-02 Round some scabby gardens that someone lost apparently. You can probably tell I was a little underwhelmed by The Lost Gardens Of Heligan. Probably gardening sacrilege to say so. Liz on the other hand loved them. Scooby mostly enthusiastic. Nice cider from the farm shop though. Not cheap either - but happily not at Eden Project pricing levels of mickey taking. Heligan Caravan And Camping Park is nice - and you get a discount for the Gardens which are right next door.
Portscatho and the Hidden Hut 2019-09-11 20th Wedding Anniversary! Decided to go to The Roseland - Treloan campsite at Portscatho. Walked in the drizzle to beach, Scooby ball chasing & swimming. Lunch at The Hut - tomato soup. Evening spent in the Plume of Feathers pub for anniversary tea - mackerel burgers (delicious) - also very well -behaved Scooby! Walk back along coast path in the dark!
Fowey to Megavissey 2018-09-03 A walk down into Fowey and then a ferry from Fowey to Megavissey. On the trip into Fowey the ferry had spotted a large whale and porpoises but no such luck on our trip. From Megavissey, we walked round to Portmellon. The 26 miles wasn't all dog walking - it includes the return ferry distance!
St Anthonys Head 2018-09-04 On to Trewince camp site and one of Liz's favourite walks - around St Anthonys Head. Stunning views - some of the early photos could be of the Mediterranean. After going past the light house at the end of St Anthony's Head the walk is then along the eas
Rosemullion Head 2018-09-05 A new take on another of Liz's favourite walks - to Rosemullion Head (between the Fal and the Helford). Scooby allowed us to just sit a read for a hour or so while watching the strange floaty things out to sea). Then back via Mawnan Smith with the walk extended a bit as Scooby couldn't be trusted to cross a field full of cows - even on a lead!
Helford River 2018-09-06 A short walk down to one of our favourite canoeing spots on the Helford - without a canoe this time. This is where Scooby previously learnt to swim just for the fun of it so Liz was keen to take him back for another paddle.
Trellisick Gardens 2024-09-11 Scooby Hound died at 05:00 in the morning at St Columb Major. We got to Trellisick shortly after the sun came up and did one of his favourite walks to pass the time until our next campsite opened.
Treen Campsite 2022-09-08 So after nearly a week of good exercise, it was so rainy today we hibernated at Treen Campsite. The predicted "weather window" at 5pm did happen and we got an hour without rain to visit the Logan Rock pub. The "gatekeeper" (or maitre d) at the pub is someone's grumpy granny. We'd have walked out but there are no other pubs within walking distance. Nice pint of Rattler though.
Polruan and Fowey 2024-09-08 A second rather soggy day at Polruan Holidays campsite in the campervan. Rain (mostly) stopped long enough for us to get across to Fowey for a pastie, an ice cream and a moan about the crowds.
Fowey and Bodinnick 2019-09-10 Headed off to Fowey. First camp-site full up so deviated to Boddinick. Camp-site bit like Sea Houses but very welcoming owners. Walk down hill to ferry, through Fowey heaving with tourists. Walked to Gibben Head. Refreshments of ice cream (DIY effort by hirer of the cottage (Dapher's connection) near the lake.) Watched a very tippy yacht (Macgregor with BIG engine on back). Pints in the Ferry Inn - great view of Fowey in the evening sunshine.
St Agnes and Wheal Coates 2018-09-11 On to Beacon Farm Cottage camp site and the only day of the two weeks that was really lost to the weather. As soon as we got to the campsite and sat down to admire the view, the fog and mizzle came in with a vengeance. So we only did a short walk to the Wheal Cotes mine - very atmospheric perched on the cliff side and appearing out the gloom. The photos of fog and mist may not be the most exciting if you weren't there...
Perranporth 2018-09-12 No trip to the south west would be complete for Scooby hound without a trip to Perranporth and Woolcombe beaches. So we "did" Perranporth on the Wednesday...
Rock, Padstow and Stepper Point 2018-09-13 Staying at the rather nice (but rather expensive) campsite directly overlooking Polzeath beach, we drove down to Rock and caught the ferry over to Padstow. Padstow was heaving with tourists as expected (even on a Thursday in the middle of September). We then walked on past the famous Doom Bar and on to Stepper Point (on the west side of the entrance to the Camel Estuary). Then back along the sands of the Doom bar at low water to give Scooby hound a run.
Mortehoe 2018-09-15 Another one of Liz's favourite walks. From North Morte campsite down to Lee and then up and down the rather strenuous coast path round to Mortehoe Point. The coast path coming up to Morte Point is genuinely scary for someone like me with just a hint of vertigo. Still - survived again!
Pandorra Inn 2024-09-11 Our silver wedding anniversary meal at the Pandorra Inn on Restronguet Creek. In fact, it was a very sad day as we'd lost Scooby Hound at 05:00 that morning.
Porthtowan 2023-09-11 Took the dog to Porthtowan for a walk along the beach. But they don't allow dogs on the beach. Miserable bastards! Coffee instead. Then on to Beacon Cottage Campsite.
Back to top
