After spending half an hour doing the normal ritual of taping & plastering of my feet I left the campsite at 6.45 & made excellent time along the good path. Arrived in Polperro at 9.45 - pity the tide was out cos I think Polperro is the most quintessentially quaint Cornish fishing port which looks terrific when there is water in the harbour.
Lovely easy walk to Looe - another typical fishing port with loads of charm. I took the ferry from West to East Looe - 40p! Then onto Portwrinkle (very small harbour) where we are staying overnight in a car park. 19 miles today.
Saw a dead porpoise on a beach - also saw lots of shags.
Glad to see that the weather is starting to be a bit kinder to you. Keep going mate. Terry & Sue
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a nice section to walk in the good weather - makes it all worth while - well, from this armchair it does ;-)
ReplyDeleteDon't miss the Cremyll Ferry - it's a long walk around. In fact it's a long drive around, the bus takes about 90 mins to Plymouth!
Lyn/Peter - I rang your home number yesterday on the off chance that Lyn might be visiting doing some chores. However, somebody called Terry answered and asked if I was enquiring about the wine tastings or the accomodation on offer - apparently Castle Drive is full now but there are still rooms available in the annex at Kimberley Croft. Don't know if you should be concerned ..... ??
ReplyDeleteOn a different tack, what a couple of cracking goals from Cisse last night - the second one was an absolute blinder. Chelski are obviously now concentrating on the Cups.

Pete - if that's you at the bottom right of the third photo above then it looks like this walk has taken more out of you than we had realised .....
