Treen coast path walk | 2016-06-18 | A coast path walk from Treen campsite (near Porthcurno which is near Lands End). The guide book said 4.5 miles but it ended up being 7.2 miles AND with lots of up and downie bits as well. Very nice though.

Porthcurno and Porthgwarra | 2017-09-14 | From Treen Campsite (one of our favourites), a mixture of clifftops and a little inland to Porthgwarra. Back past the Minack Theatre.

Logan Rock and Penberth Cove | 2018-09-07 | On to one of our favourite campsites - Treen (just near the Minack Theatre and Lands End).
Photos are from the "nature ramble" that Liz went on - organised by the Treen pirate. Photos of Scooby at Penberth Cove are by Liz as the nature ramble also went that way.

Gwenapp Head | 2018-09-08 | Another new take on a favourite walk. From Treen, via St Levans, Porthgwarra and on to Gwenapp Head (just along from Lands End and happily not touched by the awful tat at Lands End).
We could see the rain showers getting blown in from the Atlantic - but as they were mostly horizontal it was possible to keep mostly dry by sheltering behind lumps of granite.

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).

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.

Woolacombe and Putsborough | 2017-09-22 | Scooby wouldnt have been happy if we'd come to north Devon and not given him a run along Woolacombe Beach at low tide. In a fairly wet and windy two week holiday, this was the only walk where we actually got soaked by the rain. However, we dried out a bit in the cafe at Putsborough and then the walk back in the wind meant that we were dry by the time we got back to the camper van on Marine Drive.
The photos include a couple from North Morte campsite looking at the sunset over Lundy Island.

Polkerris Beach | 2018-09-02 | Stayed at Penhale camp site near Fowey. A short walk to Polkerris Beach where we knew that dogs were banned but didn't know that the ice cream shop would shut up shop at half four - outrageous!

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!

West Parley visit | 2021-10-22 | Camper vanning in West Parley for a meet up with old school friends.
Went for a walk down Church Lane past the Multiple Sclerosis day centre and then on to the River Stour. Lots of Whiteley family memories / connections.

Gorran Haven | 2023-09-07 | Was meant to be a walk around Dodman Point but we got up too late and it was just too hot for an elderly, black doggie!
So down to the rather lovely Gorran Haven and then back via Vault Beach.

Cosawes Park to Ponsanooth | 2023-11-21 | Checking out the walk from the campsite to the nearest pub to see whether we'd want to do it in the dark after a couple of pints (answer - not really). Ponsanooth viaduct quite impressive.
