This turned out to be one of those days…  Neil started out along to footpath only to find it was closed because of a rockfall.  The diversion took him back past the caravan where he’d started out an hour earlier.  Such is life. 

The path rolled up and down as far as Pentewen Sands (memories of a family holiday when we were all children), then up and over the top to Mevagissey.  Next he rounded Dodman Point and headed towards Portloe, which seemed ever in the distance – it was a long mile and a half. 

Animal of the day: a surprised stoat which, like the fox on a previous day, was happily trotting along the coastal path when it met an equally surprised Neil. 

Today’s weather was mixed: Neil was soaked by a couple of showers in the morning, but the afternoon was fine for a change.

Part of today’s walk went past the house featured in the television series ‘The Camomile Lawn’.
