But somewhat long on confusion. B and B is quite off the path—it is worth the trek, for sure—but figuring out how to get here, being misdirected, walking on major roads in the heat of the day, in circles, and then having a mile+ schlep up a track-like road, was, shall we say, annoying. OnContinue reading “Slow photo day”

Some lucky ladies exiting the beach in style: But before 6:00 a.m, the birds have it all to themselves: Soon the humans invade: Go to Youtube and write in “Cliff collapse in the UK” and you will get to see what unstable can mean: ALWAYS go with the acorn: Selfie (unintentional) in moonscape sort ofContinue reading “Sunny snd hot”

Why sad? Because the best photos of the whole walk so far just disappeared. Gone! They simply are not on the memory card. So, before anything else, what were they of? Well, there were WARNINGS about adders, the only poisonous snake in the UK, who sun themselves at this time of year, so one isContinue reading “Sad at Seiners”

This image is truly unexceptional except for one thing. Behind that unruly bushy tree is a directional sign. Oh, you do have to have your wits about you every second: The walk today, was, again not difficult, and it was beautiful, with a dose of dramatic scenery: Walked across several beaches today. Very much fun.Continue reading “Perranporth to Newquay”

Fifteen miles, easy terrain, but tiring walk. Maybe because I neglected to rest on my rest day. Maybe because during the latter half of the walk, the wind was, shall we say, not in the walker’s favor. Hard work, battling that wind. Just outside Padstow is a series of memorial benches and a field ofContinue reading “Padstow to Porthcothan”

Padstow is a postcard pretty harbour town whose picturesque-ness is best appreciated before 9:00 a.m. and after about 7:00 p.m. During the day throngs of visitors after pasties—not a misspelling of pastries, rather a Cornish empanada or calzone—crumbly fudge, as opposed to the smooth fudge in Devon (Lynn, you would love it all), fish, seafood,Continue reading “First Rest Day”

What the hype was about this section, I have no idea. There were no cliff edges that made you gulp. The wind was strong, but not blow-you-off-the cliff-strong. There were steep climbs and steep descents and climbs and descents, but they were not endless. A few directional challenges, but I am, at last becoming cleverContinue reading “Much ado”

Billed as short but strenuous, and it was! It is time to stop describing the delights and challenges of the walk because each day is wonderful, so that will be a given unless there is something striking to add like tomorrow is supposed to be the hardest day yet! However, the wind has died down,Continue reading “Nine miles=eleven”

From grey water to blue also means from rain to sun. Yeay! Started out rainy and blustery, but the sky lightened and blustery decreased to plain windy, and not too much cliff edge stuff! But many stiff climbs. Although the mileage was less than 13, it was enough! Not yet, at the end of aContinue reading “From grey water to blue”

Bude was a good place to restock supplies. And guess what I found? Peanut better is squeeze packs and it is really good! Small things can make a person happy! Boats in the harbor at Bude early in the morning: You want to take a photo of the coast every five minutes, so dramatic andContinue reading “More downs and ups”
