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!
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.
A surprisingly good walk from Treago Campsite to Polly Joke beach. Then on the SWCP back round to Crantock. The pizzas in the Jam Jar cafe / pizzeria were really very good (and we got a mid week meal deal - happy days).…
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 walk from Portscatho round to Pendower Beach. In his eagerness to eat a Shetland pony, the bloody dog pulled me backwards arse over tit down into gorse scrub leaving me stung, bleeding, pissed off and with a twisted b…
Walk along the coast path to Hell's Mouth Cafe. Seafood chowder was excellent again (and the cheesy chips weren't really necessary). Then inland via Trehidy Park (which Liz liked) and then back along a now very misty coa…
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.
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.
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 Li…
Being old people, we normally avoid Newquay. But as we planned on using a campsite in Crantock to the west of Newquay (Treago), we thought we'd have a look at Newquay. So we did, and then went on to Watergate Bay. Which…
We couldn't do a Cornwall trip without giving Scooby Hound an outing to Perranporth beach at low tide. Much shorter walk that usual as it was very hot and Scooby Hound is an old boy.
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.
