Took the ferry across the Pentland Firth from Gills bay to St Margaret' Hope. All fine. Wind was F5 gusting F7 but it was neaps and not wind directly against tide. There was still an impressive "wall" of white water furt…
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…
Down from Down Thomas to the SWCP and along to Wembury. Lovely ice cream but no dogs on the beach until the end of September. Tye not impressed. Back, to start with, along the Erme Plymstock trail. Both Aspalls and Guinn…
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).…
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 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.
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!
Bloody guidebook! Just as well we had a mapping GPS with Ordnance Survey 1:25000 maps on it. And we still did 11 miles instead of 8! A day of frequent mist and fog meant that a lot of the views were more atmospheric / mi…
Coffee and cake in Sennen and, for Liz, a wander round the posh tat shop (the capstan house). Daft sods at Sennen don't allow dogs on to the beach until the end of September - they must lose so much business from people…
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…
Out with the dog for a kick about on the beach ahead of the most expensive pints of the holiday so far. Nice view of St Michael's Mount I guess.
Oh, I do like Porthleven. Treza campsite is great and very friendly. The Ship Inn is lovely and only mildly pricey. And the Mussel Shoals non-fine-dining is simply superb. We'd been looking forward to try their smoked ha…
Staying at the rather nice Cadwith Camping site. A walk down to Cadgwith (which we had done before it finally dawned on us). We did mean to get to Poltesco and come back inland but a late start meant we cut that short an…
Another steeply up and downy bit of the SWCP between Pentewan and Megavissey. Rather good pasties for lunch on the west harbour wall. Then back inland past Heligan and down the cycle path back to the Meadows campsite by…
A bit of a beast of a walk. I don't think we've got a walk so wrong and had to go so "off piste" in years! First down to Pentewan. Lovely beach but they don't like dogs. Then along the SWCP towards Black Head. That inclu…
A wander down from Maker Heights into Kingsand and Cawsand. Managed to get a pint in both The Devonport and The Cross Keys. Happy days. Spotted the autonomous boat thingie again - it really is quite big.
Tye's first walk to Rame Head. Our 47th walk to Rame Head - probably. Very nice day for it too. Saw one of those autonomous boat things and then went back to Maker Heights for the first time in a couple of years.
A circular walk from CAMC campsite near Bovisand down to the estuary and along to Heybrook Bay. Back past The Mussel Inn where we are heading later for dinner.
