So after five very emotional days for all sorts of reasons, I arrived back in Cornwall yesterday evening to be greeted by two of lovely people in Sally and Tim, who are very close friends with David Baty, who kindly brought me back down to Praa Sands, and walked with me today.

A cloudy morning with showers in the air, saw David and I dropped off on the harbour wall at Porthleven, a place that is another magical harbour in Cornwall, but don’t tell anyone because it still appears unspoilt. A fairly gentle re-introduction to the path, with a coastal path that more resembles a heathland walk, but with the sea on the right I know I am heading in the right direction. The path drops gently to Porthleven Sands and the amazing Loe Bar. A spit of sand that has somehow not been washed away by everything the sea can through at is, retaining The Loe and Carminowe Creek, it almost defies logic given the amount of coastal erosion I have experienced to date. Some fairly sedate but very scenic low cliff path brings you in to Church Cove. We meet a manager from the National Trust who have taken back, with consent, an 180 acre farm with work starting today on re-wilding the land and converting some of the builings into facilities showcasing the aims of the project. Past the Mullion Golf Club, which is now on my must visit list, quickly into Poldu Cove. This is the place where Marconi arrived in Endland in 1896, he first received a transmission from the Isle of White in 1901, the commercial wireless stationin Europe was then established. The terrain is now changing, and the skies are now less threatening. We reach Polurrian Cove, with the villiage of Mullion just in land. A climb out of here, and David is now expieriencing some of the real Coast path offering. Mullion Cliff is part of the LIzard National Nature Reserve, with Mullion Island always in our sights. The skies and now blue and the sea equates to the colour. We think we are on the home stretch, but as ever, “if you think you are nearly there you are not” We then have to push on to the finish but negioatiate Parc Bean Cove, Ogo Dour Cove, Pol Cornick, George’s Cove, eventually on to Kynance Cliff , and there it is, the lighthouse at Lizard Point. A big drop into Kyance Cove, and the lighthouse has gone again. Up and down Holseer Cove, and the lighthouse appears again. We are met by Sally and Maisy (the springer) on the path to guide us home. So six and a half hours of Baty moaning about the Easterly, which is all so wrong in every way. The path guide suggest walk anticlockwise to have the wind on your back on the way home, why is it coming from the east. Another great day with some very interesting sights. 13 Miles the legs are back on form and the challenge is on again.
