Lizard to Coverack: good bye Sue.

This blog relates to Friday. 

Another lovely day in paradise which began with a 2 minute shower for 20p, followed by chocolate croissant, cuppa tea and a continental breakfast of sweaty cheese and flat rolls (the day before the rolls had been fluffy and light, but Sue had used them for a pillow: probably the reason for a great night sleep). 

It was a Leisurely morning watching Sue pack her tent for the long journey back to Bournmouth. This time the car started eadilu and Kindly she dropped us off at Coverack to start the long walk back. 

Thank you Sue for your lovely company, you're like a breath of fresh air. I'm sure Sarah was thankful that you came along. 

We started the walk at about 1'ish. Coverack was quiet, the cove was calm like a mill pond: the village could have been in the Mediterranean. (Another anti-clockwise walk). 

As we headed up the steep hill, then onto the path out of Coverack we had a choice of easy inland route or more rugged strenuous path, of course we took the 2nd option! Rugged, narrow and at times very overgrown paths, which were short steep ascents and descents, (other than one very steep valley) with a few rocks to scramble around. All of this slowed us down and it took 3 hours to do just 5miles. Did i mention it was hot!

The second half seemed much easier and quicker: the terrain was better. During this part we walked through the fishing harbour of Cadgwith: very quaint, very sweet with chocolate box cottages (most are holiday homes: i reckon most coastal properties are holiday homes). 

Due to the time and with so much to get done before catching an early bus tomorrow we cut the walk a few miles short and headed back to Lizard. 

Official path miles, about 9/10'ish. 

Another moment of the day: 

Whilst walking back to the Lizard we bumped into a man with a pet sheep on a lead! (See photo). 

It was a quiet evening without Sue: we missed you. 

Fitbit records: 34,880 steps, 15.3 miles and 213 flights of stairs.
