A drive from one side of Cornwall to the other to do Lizzies favourite walk. The rain and fog from north Cornwall didnt make it down to the south coast to affect this walk from Cawsand to Rame head and back again.

A Scooby walk from Flushing to Mylor for an expensive coffee! Returned just as the first rains for the predicted storm started to arrive.

A woodland walk round the Trelissick estate on the Fal estuary. The last part of the walk was to the Iron Age fort and Roundwood Quay

A walk along the Helford Estuary, back inland and then along Frenchmans Creek back to the village of Helford

A walk from Mylor Bridge to Restronguet Creek to the Pandora Inn. The Pandora Inn had burnt down since the last time we were here but has been sympathetically restored. Back along Mylor Creek to the Mylor Bridge

A walk from Maenporth Beach via RoseMullion Head and the Helford. Summer finally arrived on the last day of our summer holidays! Beautiful views from Rosemullion Head including some of the C Class catamarans preparing fo…

A shortish walk along part of Pennaporth beach in the gloopy mist. Scooby, of course, played sticky stick the whole way.

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…

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.

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…

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.

Dinner at The White Hart in St Teath. Nice enough pub with decent food.

From Mylor Bridge to Mylor Harbour and on past Restronguet Sailing Club

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!

A walk along the front from Marazion to Mousehole. A easy, level walk on finished walkways all the way. Gave the hound a run about on the beach to start with. Late lunch in The Ship in Mousehole after we failed to stop a…

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…

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…

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.

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…

A quick wander into "town" to allow Liz to peruse the tat shops and to give the hound a kick about on the beach. Track uploaded mainly to have something to hang Liz's photo of the holiday off. Can you guess which one she…

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 hou…

Well - we couldn't go to north Cornwall without taking Scooby Hound to Perranporth (his 2nd all time favourite beach after Woolacombe). Although he doesn't know it, he's getting on a bit now so for the first time ever w…

To the village of Pityme for a pint. Scooby demanded a bit more of a walk of his "restrictions" on Perranporth. The OS 1:25000 maps on the GPS found a "shortcut" through some fields of corn - came out right by Sharps Bre…

Walk with wife and hound to Mylor for some breakfast. Then along to watch the kids from Restronguet Sailing Club playing "how many times can you capsize a Mirror" in the F5ish winds
