Sue and I are answering the siren call of the Southwest Coast Path for the fifth time. This walk, from Padstow to St. Ives in Cornwall, will put us just over half of the 630 mile total distance. And our merry band continues to grow: we’re joined this time by the three-time veterans Cindy and Gary H., the two-time veterans Patti and David B., and the path rookies Pravan and Rory W.!
After some alarming news out of Newark airport (antiquated equipment, far too few air traffic controllers), we switched from our usual morning flight on United to a night flight out of JFK aboard Virgin Atlantic.
A series of trains brought us to JFK, and we’re now at the gate ready to board.
