Tue 20th April - Day 4, Coombe to Holywell (19 miles)
Mud, Mud, Glorious Mud! |
Looking SW back to Portreath |
The sandy bay at Portreath was typical of all the bays along the coast, they all had surfers of one form or another in them. I was back on the path now, passing more mine workings on the way to the next bay at Porthtowan,
I stopped for an early pub lunch and had sweet & sour pork & rice, this was the only meal of the whole trip that I was unable to finish, I blame it on the mars bar I had just half an hour before.
Although the path was easy to walk on the route was becoming much more up & down around the bays and inlets. The rain started just after Chapel Porth, but this made no difference to the surfers at St Agnes.
Cove at St Agnes |
The path went along Perran Beach but I took an alternate inland route, skirting the sand, I took a footpath through the golf course at Reen Sands then used a minor road then footpath to the campsite just before Holywell, thankfully the rain had finally eased by the time I got here at 18:15.
This site was in a valley and meant there was no signal for the mobile phone, this was to become the norm for the next few campsites as they all seemed to be in valleys.
59 miles completed.
