From the Carlyon Bay Camping Park along the coast path to Charlestown. I think Charlestown was looking a little sad. There was some work started on changes to the harbour but is was closed (part from a large Border Force…

Caught the bus from Merrose Farm Campsite down to St Mawes. Scooby Hound a bit unsure about the bus to start with. As forecast, the weather gradually got less rainy the closer we got to St Just on our walk. Rather good l…

Bit of an odd one. After walking from St Mawes to St Just along the west side of the Roseland Peninsula, the idea was to catch a bus across the peninsula to Porthscatho and then walk the coast path back to Merrose camp s…

Down from Tregunwith Farm to the Pandora Inn for an anniversary pint (or two). Not sure how many times we've ended up at the Pandora on out anniversary!

From Tregunwith Farm via Mylor Bridge and Mylor round to Flushing Beach. Managed to dodge the rain showers until just before Restronguet Sailing Club on the way back.

From Beare's Den campsite down to the coast path and then along to Marazion. A pint in Marazion and then we opted for the bus back to Rosudgeon.

Dodged the rain to walk from Treen via Porthcurno and Porthgwarra to Lands End. Exhausting walking into the 40 to 50mph westerlies (yellow wind warning). Because we didn't fancy the coast path so close to the cliff edge…

A short walk from Trethias Farm Campsite to Treyarnon Bay.

Having hidden in the van all day from the rain, wind and mizzle, the need to avoid going stir crazy lead to a short walk to Constantine Bay. Nice coffee and cake though.

A leisurely sail down from SYC to the Events Pontoon at Brixham ahead of a crossing to Guernsey. It was Pirate time in Brixham that weekend and there were a few early idiots whose late night antics made getting up for a…

Not a lot of wind on the trip from Brixham to St Peter Port, Guernsey. Mostly just headsail up. An easy crossing of the TSS. A rather large ship was contacted on Ch13 and was happy for us to continue in our role as the "…

A fairly strong following wind for the sail across from St Peter Port on Guernsey to St Cast in Brittany. We sailed pretty much the whole trip under just full headsail but still maintained a good average speed. First tim…

We decided on Granville as the next port of call to get a better angle on the wind for the return trip to Guernsey. The first attempt at leaving St Cast was short lived due to an engine overheating problem on one of the…

One of the best sails of the trip. From Granville in Normandy, between the Iles Chausey, the Minquiers and the south coast of Jersey and on to the anchorage at Havre Gosselin on the west side of Sark. We'd assumed a slow…

Started the day with a wander round Sark and a lovely soup lunch at Stocks hotel. A short but fast sail from Havre Gosselin, Sark to St Peter Port in Guernsey. There were some confused seas to the east of the Lower Head…

After a day's delay to let strong winds go through, we exited Victoria Marina over the cill at about 04:10. The Little Russel was very calm with only a few pot buoys to contend with. After an all too brief 20 minutes of…

The girls go to Stonehenge to see in the Summer Solstice!

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…

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.

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…

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.

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.

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.

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.

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…

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.

Liz did plants. Scooby and I did reading and digging holes on the beach (maybe not in that order).

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…
