Kynance Cove



After the champions league final of last night, which proved to me that supporting any british football team leads to misery, I went out early for a head clearer today.

My walking juices were obviously whetted by falling asleep to Julia Bradbury's canal walks last night.  After the excitment of the football, a 5:30am start, 5.5 hour drive, half a bottle of red, a pint of Tribute and four cans of stella, this was not unexpected.  This led to a refreshing nights sleep in our quiet cottage and up at 7:30am for get this, an excited dog that actually wanted to go out.

Drove the 2miles upto the national trust parking place and saw that the final mile road is a toll road.  It was that early on a Sunday that no-one was there to collect the money, so I got away with it.

Dogs not allowed on this beach...

This is a straightforward walk, heading up the South West Coastal Path to Lower Prendannack Farm and then back across some wild inland moorland - passing through the wonderfully named "Jolly Town".

A bit of a wild start

Jolly Town - Cornish Optimism at its best

A great start to the walking holiday.  We will be returning here for the cafe on one of the evenings where I will ask Alex to assist me on a cache on the equally wonderfully named "Asparagus Island".  If the tide is out.
