The start of the walk was dominated by the white ball of a listening post which I didn’t take too many photos of, particularly close to.Then I was back in rough Cornish Coastline with lots of old mine workings.Wheal Coates is an iconic one on lots of photographs, sadly the rain didn’t show it off…

One good thing when you camp is having a dry spell in the morning so you aren’t battling to get a wet tent into it’s sack and trying to keep the mud off everything else. So the a dry start to the day helped.I wandered past Godrevy lighthouse and came upon Seal Cove which was…

A short walk to day from St Ives to Towan sands via Hayle.It started raining at 9am and rained the rest of the day! But it was still an entertaining walk with two miles of it accompanied by a lovely local and her dog while we exchanged walking stories.Then onto Hayle home of Philps pasties…

Sleeping in a tent is rarely quiet as the wind will blow the tent and the sea rumbles in the distance. You get used to this but I woke in the middle of the night to the sound of something. I say something because by the time I’d woken the noise had stopped. I wasn’t…

The New Year started with wind and rain as I left St Just and headed to rejoin the path at Cape Cornwall.Once again mine workings dotted the landscape and luckily the rain eased off. The coast here is rugged , atmospheric and mostly steep.There is a lot of climbing to be done which was made…

As I was camped on the East side of Sennen Cove and all I needed to do was get to St Justs today would be a short day.The area had been extensively mined and ruined mine workings dotted the landscape. Signs were everywhere telling me to stay on the path so I didn’t fall down…

It was a late start today as whilst my campsite was sheltered the wind was blowing savagely over the cliffs so it was nearly 10am before I was confident to continue.The wind and rain were sporadic throughout the day as I headed towards Lands End. The coast here is some of the best I had…

I left Penzance in bright sunshine and looked back over the harbour, as I turned the corner of the coast I finally after ten months walking saw a pair of Dolphins swimming just offshore. I had always just missed them in Wales and I’d given up hope of seeing any.Almost straight after was the old…

Today was a short walk to Penzance where I was due to meet Jamie Lloyd who was also walking the Coasts for MIND but going in the opposite direction.The rain poured down as I entered Penzance and I was glad I wasn’t walking all day.We had agreed to meet in a Laundrette and Jamie had…

I set off on a sunny Boxing Day with an important question in my mind, “was there a cafe open for breakfast in Porthleven?”Porthleven is an attractive village dominated by its harbour. Today some hardy swimmers were splashing around in it and indeed a Cafe was open. I had just settled down to a cooked…
