Yesterday
We did well to beat the rain on yesterday's walk. It was biblical in the afternoon, so we spent the afternoon listening to not 1, not 2 but 3 premiership games on the radio. Then we went out for our Evening Meal. The smuggler's den provided a fine main course but we felt it was time to move on from this great foodie pub and check out Holywell Bay. We drove in and instantly found a 15th Century thatched Inn, the Treguth Inn. On entering, we noticed a very bad leak, with water pouring through the ceiling. I commented about the quality of the barkeep's thatch to be me with "its the 20th Century flat roof that is leaking".
Would it be rude to order our pudding from a 2nd establishment? I thought not, so spotted dick twice was ordered. When delivered, Sonia felt that she needed to point out that we had eaten our main elsewhere.
The waiter could not have cared less.
Home for Fargo.
The Walk
St Agnes at EveryTrail
Could we have possibly found the South West Coast Path at its most dramatic? I think so. A 10 mile drive out to Trevauance Cove, at the foot of St Agnes. Park more or less on the beach and head south for a stiff climb up onto the cliffs above.

Happiest Bank Holiday Worker I have ever heard |
The cache nearby informs me that it already has a name and its called "The Cow".
I am saying nothing.

St Agnes Hotel - you served our needs well.
We move on, down and then back out the town on the other side. There is the opportunity to turn off back to the coast path slightly earlier than the book planned. The scenery is just as dramatic as we reach the coast again - at one point being able to count the chimneys of 6 former mine workings.
