Constantine Bay to Mawgan Porth

What a beautiful day its been.

The morning started off overcast, but by the time we got going, caught the bus and arrived at Constantine Bay the sun was breaking through the clouds. From then on the weather was perfect for walking: sun (not to hot) and a constant breeze. 

The weather made the views exceptional today. The photo's don't do it justice but the colour of the sea is amazing: so many different colour blues. Every bay (and there is many), has golden sand, abundance of space, rock pools (some large enough to use as a small swimming pool), and the sea is enticing (no dipping yet). Some of the smaller bays (harder to access) are exclusive to just a few people. 

Colin has been astounded by the sheer beauty of the coastline: the clicking of the camera is constant. I'll say it again: these views, beaches and sea (and for the moment, the weather) could compete with the beaches in the world (including OZ). 

The terrain was mostly level: easy walking. We covered about 8 miles. Finished off the walk with a fine pint of cornish bitter. Once again with pain killers the foot was fine.

Fitbit records: 25,193 steps, 11.3miles and 120 flights of stairs. 

Over the last few days we gave been catching buses to get us too and from walking routes. Oh my god, now i know why it takes 45 minutes to drive 10miles. These bus drivers earn every penny they are paid. The roads are busy, steep, windy and narrow: only enough room for cars let alone double decker buses, camper vans etc... they are skilled drivers, they should have danger money. 

The Comment of the day came from Colin: 

'An old bloke in a wetsuit carrying a surf board down here (cornwall), is like me in lycra with my bike back home'.

    Hi Babe What views why do people want to go abroad when you can get views and beaches like that, you just need the good weather all the summer. Hope your foot keeps improving.

Talland Bay to Downderry

This blogs relates to Friday.  Woke up this morning to... yes, you've guessed it: rain! Despite the miserable weather we thought we would go for it and walk.  There were lots of very, very steep ascents today, especially between Looe and Seaton: crikey they were steep. The path was a mix narrow cliff paths, woodlands, meadows and road walking.  The weather remained thickly overcast, with drizzle throughout. During the afternoon it got quite blustery. The forecast for the next few days are good.  Looe was a nice place, a very pretty estuary town. I imagine during the holidays the place is very popular. East Looe has a nice, big beach and easily accessible. After a quick cuppa tea we pressed on to up, up, up the hills to Seaton, finally ending todays walk in Downderry.  Like Looe i imagine that Seaton, Downderry and the other coastal villages are very busy during holidays, but sadly they all seem outdated. Maybe it was due to the dull, grey day, but Seaton and Dow...

Waiting for Colin

Image
This blog relates to Monday.  Today consisted of me waiting for Colin and the motorhome to drive from Cambridge to Charlestown.  It was a nice day: light cloud (hot at times) and slight breeze (chilli at times). I hung around outside the hotel which gets busy with tourists. Struck up a few conversations: Met a couple from Newmarket on holiday with their two dogs - they don't like the narrow, single track roads! Spent the day reading a second hand book: a thriller set in Cambridge. Maybe my next 'ambition' (not challenge) should be writing a book!  Hooray... Colin and the motorhome arrived, how lovely. All is good in the world.  Fitbit records: 10,942 steps, 4.8 miles, and 23 flight of stairs.  Photo's are a selection of my attempts at arty shots over the last few weeks, and by the way Pete i found Poldark in Charlestown.
