intoduction- walking interest
Hi this is all new to me so hope it will fit the bill.
I walk once a week along coastal paths in Cornwall with a friend about 3 or so miles and am fascinated how dramatically the walks can be so different even on the same stretch.
We have grown to become a group of friends and so we have called ourselves The happy wanderers.
We started walking last summer and so have covered some ground. One of my favourites is called the Rumps near Padstow; its a circular walk thats virtually all coast and nice terrain.
We did a walk last Thurs 19th March and started at Bucks Mill which is off the A39 at Bucks Cross. We came off the A39 and immeditely we were in woodlands absolutely beautiful and with even more opportunities of further walks through the woods but we were on mission to see the sea. So on a lovely sunny day we discovered this beautiful hamlet which has water tumbling alongside the road in its own contained walled area. We followed sign post to Peppercombe and so off we went . Some of the terrain was little steep so stopped to catch our breath . The path took us inland and could see the sea through the trees . After about an hour or so we came down to the beach. Then we knew that we would have to retrace our steps as the coastal path we were hoping to walk back on didn't exist !!!! So we opted to walk back over the beach , the tide was in our favour, so we set off on gruelling 2 miles or so over variety of pebbles ,rocks, boulders and huge boulders . It was hard work but a r&r at Merry Harriers put us back on our feet.
