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.

From Fort Picklecombe to Mount Edgecumbe and then across the Cremyl Ferry to the King William dock yards. Fearnley Whittingstalls River Cottage Canteen wouldnt serve us. Something about a wet muddy dog. Their loss. The…

From Cawsand to Rame Head and back. Scooby pulled like a bxxxxxd much of the way especially when trying to say hello to the horses by the hermits cottage on Rame Head.

From Fowey to Polruan on the Hall Walk. Across the upper car ferry and back on the lower foot ferry

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

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 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.

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…

Tye's first trip to Perranporth. However, due to an inability to get out of bed early enough, it was half tide meaning that the walk was cut a lot short. Tye seemed to like it though!

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.

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.

First day of hols! Whiteley's off to new camp-site near Salcombe - remember for family happiness mobile signal not great for route finding! New camp-site with very friendly owners.Walked to Saw Mill Cove lots of dog swim…

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 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..

From Fort Picklecombe round the Mount Edgcumbe estate to Cremyl and then back over Maker Heights

A lowish tide walk along Seaton Beach so Scooby could have some ball chase practise

Bloody guidebook! Just as well we had a mapping GPS with Ordnance Survey 1:25000 maps on it. And we still did 11 miles instead of 8! A day of frequent mist and fog meant that a lot of the views were more atmospheric / mi…

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…

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.

Walk across fields to Salcombe via aerodrome (with plane landing) Overbecks, steep hills, South sands, North Sands (where Scooby was allowed to swim & do ball chasing). Lunch in Salcombe with rip off fish & chips (defini…

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.

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!

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.

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.

Coffee and cake in Sennen and, for Liz, a wander round the posh tat shop (the capstan house). Daft sods at Sennen don't allow dogs on to the beach until the end of September - they must lose so much business from people…

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.

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 m…

Wet start to day - headed off to try & find camp-site @ Bovisand for a different view of the Plymouth Break water, got hoplessly lost so detoured to Maker. Camping back in our favourite field. Walk into Kingsand & Cawsan…
