Tintagel

21 October 2018.

This walk presented itself quite unexpectedly. Charlotte, recently moved to Kenilworth, paid a visit so I joined her, Nick and Malory for a ‘gentle’ coastal stroll. It ticked off a few more miles for me and bagged some geocaches too. We walked to Boscastle but it would be just as lovely in the opposite direction, although the sun is low in the sky in October so it was easier to have it setting behind us. Beautiful scenery with many headlands, but also many steps down into deep valleys and by necessity up the other side. Fact: the coast path has over 30,000 steps so I guess it was good to get some of them out of the way early on. The path was busy at both ends, but in the middle very tranquil. My knees would classify it on the tough side of moderate because of the steps.
