Time out at The Eden Project
Today I took yet another day off from walking The South West Coast Path this time not for bad weather but to visit The Eden Project, a place I’ve been wanting to visit since it’s opening in 2001. I used public transport on the way there so I could enter for £12.50 🙂 However, there […]
South West Coast Path – Portloe to Charlestown
An excellent day’s walking of 20 miles and ascended height of just under 6000 feet 🙂 with an overall average speed of 2.2mph (including stops). A cloudy day with some mist the sun came to join me at lunch time but rapidly disappeared again to be replaced by a heavy shower at the end. But […]
Falmouth to Portloe on The South West Coast Path
Today started with two ferry crossings both costing £4 single! The first was a mega journey of 16 minutes the second taking less than 10mins. The day’s walking started in the sleepy hamlet of Place where you are carefully directed around the back of Place House so the owners can avoid the inconvenience of looking […]

South West Coast Path – Penzance to Mullion
Today was a good 23 miler in pretty awful conditions, started with light rain and some sun but then turned into a gale (not funny on cliff tops) with some very vicious squalls. Not a pleasant day at all. Even the Scillonian ferry was cancelled. All the equipment is keeping dry OK, although its a drag to keep […]
