Bank holiday Monday promised a little more wind. There was some for about 20 minutes. Then Liz paddled us back.
With ball action on the Pole Sands and Bull Hill, this was doggy heaven. Apart from the kayaking bit and getting a wet bottom when a few waves came over the side of the kayak.
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.
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.
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 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.
A dog walk from Tregunwith Farm to Mylor Harbour. Managed to avoid the heaviest rain while having coffee at Mylor.
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 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...
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.
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…
A short walk from Dennis Cove Campsite into Padstow.
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 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…
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
Cawsand to Polhawn and along the cliff paths to the View Cafe (shut). Back via Wiggle.
A new campsite at St Agnes (Blue Hills). Took a very short wander out of the campsite to the SWCP to see the walk into St Agnes. Looks very scary.
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.
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 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.
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.
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!
