Day 26: Home!

Wow, Phew!
Well, I've done it! I can't quite believe it now, I've walked around the coast of Cornwall?? I certainly feel tired enough to have done that, but now I'm back home it doesn't seem like I did - weird!
Stars : )
Thank you everyone who's helped, encourged and supported me on my way, it's been great. I've met lots of friendly and kind people on the way round - so Thank you! : )
and thanks to all the lovely people who've sponsored me too - I've yet to tot up the total of everyone's generosity, but thank you - every little bit helps to improve people's lives.

Day 25: Portscatho to Falmouth

The home straight
(more of a wiggle really!)

Day 24: Dodman to Portscatho

Day 23: Porthpean to the Dodman

Day 22: Fowey to Porthpean

Thank you Lucy, for tea, toast and the lift down into Fowey. Feeling really quite rough this morning and hard to get going so treated myself to fruity breakfast in a great little cafe - Pinky Murphy's. Eventually after a trip to the chemist, managed to get going, albeit slowly. Had a nice walk around Gribbin Head and then revived myself with tea & biscuits at Polkerris. Quite a bit of road walking round to Charlestown, have to say Par beach and around were nicer than I expected. A lovely welcome at my B & B and a bath certainly helped me to start to feel better : )

Day 21: Looe to Fowey

SunDaze
What a wonderful stay on the island - thank you so much Jon and Claire and Dave the boatman : )
Bit of a choppy ride back over to Looe. We were still a bit shattered from yesterday's marathon walk (somthing like 17 miles!) so revived ourselves with coffee and toast before setting off for Polperro. Again, a beautiful morning and really nice to walk with Liz, a bit ot a baptism of fire - sorry Liz. We both walked a bit dazed, probably not quite taking all the lovely views in. Had to say goodbye to Liz at Polperro, so staggered on towards Fowey very slowly on my own. Feeling quite rough - the cold kicking in I think. Had a refreshing swim at Lansallos and then met Gavin on the cliffs a bit later and he accompanied me into Polruan. Had my 6th ferry ride of the walk across to Fowey, the estuary looked lovely in the early evening sunshine.

Day 20: Cawsand to Looe

Chewbacca
A marathon day's walk ahead today. Had another luxury night's stay in a lovely B & B with a great breakfast that set us up for the day. It was a beautiful morning, slightly hazy over the water, but great views over Plymouth Sound and then round into Whitsand Bay. Went through lots of gates that all sounded like Chewbacca from Star Wars (or maybe the walking was getting to us!). Had a welcome break at a Freathy with coffee and bagel which sped us on to Portwrinkle. Luckily we met the support team (Gavin) at Downderry and were able to empty most of the stuff from our bags as we were starting to flag! Arrived in Looe with half an hour to spare before getting thr boat over to St George's Island. Truly a mad day's walking!
