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 …

Exmouth
21 June 2018. Accompanied by Tom, we used public transport to Cockwood and then walked the last mile from a previous walk to link up with the Starcross – Exmouth ferry. We’re lucky to be able to choose the fine days for walking and this was a very fine day indeed judging from the amount …
St Ives.
16 April 2018. Breakfast in St Ives with Charlotte, Nick and Malory before this estuary walk to Lelant. It was a dull, damp day which got brighter and hotter involving delayering and then carrying excess clothing. I like to get going but my companions have a more leisurely approach as a rule. Today it involved …
Ahoy me hearties…
April 2018. A trip to Penzance with Charlotte, Nick and Malory. We stayed at a cute Airbnb in the town and used the excellent public transport. The younger, fitter folk (i.e. everyone but me) went off to do a strenuous walk on the north coast leaving me to do something more sedate. Penzance to Mousehole …
The Budleigh bit….
I think this walk happened around mid September 2017. Certainly the early days of my decision to do the walk and made all the more delicious as it was the first September in many years that I was not going back to school. Therefore, a beautiful day in more ways than one. Tom joined me. …
Teignmouth to Starcross
May 2018 Precise date forgotten but it was one of those days when the stars aligned and off I went on the bus to Teignmouth. Flat and seasidey to begin and then the trail runs along beside the railway track before the train disappears into a tunnel and walkers have to go the long way …
The end is in sight!
12 June 2018 This is a big day. The longest walk so far and also the finish of the coast path trail. (I have yet to do the start and 600 odd miles of the middle bits) My plan has always been to do the walk “in bits” and in no particular order so this …
Wembury to Mountbatten
1 June 2018 I dedicate today’s walk to my Father who would have been 98 today. I miss him. A slightly misty start which gave me a fantastic photo of the Mew Stone. A mild day which got hotter on the steep bits as the sun came out. It’s nice and flat round to Bovisand …
A Cornish delight
23 July 2017 A beautiful summer day to tick off 3.4 miles. Tom came along for the ride which started on the Cawsand ferry from Plymouth Barbican. Asking me how we got the right ferry? Well, I went for the one with Cawsand Ferry writ large on the wheelhouse but just a guess. On a …
Cremyll to Barbican
19/7/19. A necessary walk but not the prettiest. Some interesting parts through the Royal William Yard, where the SW Coast Path Association now (2019) have their office. Along Plymouth Hoe with fabulous views of Plymouth Sound and down into the Barbican which is quaint. The sections along the road must tolerated. Check out quotations from …
